Fault detection and diagnostics is central to system stability and reliability. When a problem occurs in the system, the fault detection and diagnostic function of the OC 6000e can quickly analyze the cause of the failure by examining historical data and sequential SOE event records. This allows maintenance personnel to pinpoint the cause and location, and to determine a response. The system detection and diagnostic software monitors the status on several levels:
• Network
• Network Node
• I/O Station
• I/O Module
• I/O Channel
