DIAGNOSTIC SCREENS
If a VGA compatible monitor and a PC keyboard is connected to the SB host PC, several
diagnostic screens are available. They are usable for verification, troubleshooting, checking
ladder and MMI programming, and for editing data in N13 and F15. Note that with the exception
of the Home Screen, there is a SB performance penalty associated with the diagnostic display.
For all screens in this section, the following SUPERB.INI was used:

• COM1 is used for communications, instead of COM2, which is default.
• There are five MCs in this system; one of them, MC Index 3, is set off-line.
• SB reports to and is being controlled by a PLC-5, station number 60. In this PLC, bit
N13:25/0 is set, taking controller index 3 offline. See MC Control Word, N13:4,11,18.. (page
17).
• Data in the report files N12 and F14 for the last three controllers are also reported to a SLC-
500/04 with station number 1.
• A WinView MMI with station number 41 is constantly interrogating SB for floating point data
for the first four MCs, maintaining a graph.
• Some message rungs exist in the PLC-5, station number 60, one of which causes an error
return.
