Super-Debugger
Super-debugger is a logic analysis tool that shows all data packets coming in and out
of the logic processor. This includes “direct wire access”-type packets from NTX,
DPM, SDPM, IPSDPM, Broadcast from SIMPL and SendToCresnet() from
SIMPL+, as well as startup commands from logic.
The Super-debugger utility will not show packets that are not directed to logic (for
example, CIP keep alive, Cresnet discovery & response, etc.). These packets can be
debugged with the DEBUG command at the console.
Super-debugger can perform the following tasks and can be used for any device that
is being debugged:
• Show transmitted packets.
• Show received packets.
• Show received packets in raw mode.
• Show received packets in interpreted mode.
• Show transmitted packets in raw mode.
• Show transmitted packets in interpreted mode.
These tasks can be used independent of each other.
Packets that are viewed in the raw mode are shown in HEX. Packets that are viewed
in the interpreted mode are shown in printable ASCII. “Broadcast”-type packets may
or may not be shown.
“Direct-to-wire” packets (i.e. from NTX, etc.) are handled in a special way. If the ID
of the direct-to-wire packet is in the program, it will be subject to being picked apart
and interpreted according to the operating mode. If the direct-to-wire packet's ID is
not in the program, it will only be displayed in raw form. The handling of
“unresolvable” packets (those whose ID is not in the program) can be turned on or
off.
The debugger can also turn off console output and log data to compact flash instead.

Debugger Command Listing” on page 152.
