Using Network Diagnostics, you can monitor the network, link and
communication information of the host related to the MELSECNET. It
also enables network diagnostics such as network and loop tests.
"Other Station Information" allows you to monitor the communication,
data link and loop states of each station. "Line Monitor Detail" can be
used to monitor the control station information, data link information and
host's parameter states. "Error History Monitor" allows you to monitor
error occurrence conditions.
Ethernet Diagnostics can be used to monitor the IP address and other parameter states, error history, connection-based status, LED states,
E-mail information and others.
This allows you to know the Ethernet module status and line status easily without monitoring the buffer memory, improving the efficiency of
debugging and maintenance. By conducting a "PING Test", you can check for module presence on the Ethernet line from GX Developer.
(You need not enter a command in DOS.)
By making CC-Link Diagnostics, you can monitor the data link status,
operating status, link scan times and others of the host. "Other Station
Monitor" can be used to monitor the data link status, etc. of the other
station, and "Line Test" used to check the communication states of
connected stations.
GX Simulator (simulation software) is a software tool designed to
start a virtual PLC/virtual machine (external I/O) on a personal
computer and debug a created sequence program.
You can perform debugging on the personal computer right after
designing, without waiting for the completion of PLC I/O wiring.
This improves design efficiency.

Checking System Monitor gives you an at-a-glance picture of the
PLC system configuration and the error detection status at each
module. It supports your recovery operation at occurrence of
trouble.
By choosing the CPU and executing "diagnostics" on the
System Monitor screen, you can check for the current error and
error history.
"Module Detail Information" allows you to check I/O and
intelligent function modules for the latest error code and error
history. You need not monitor the buffer memory's error code
storage area to check for errors, ensuring efficient maintenance.
Hardware Information can be used to check the LED states and
switch settings of an intelligent function module. Since you need
not go to the worksite to check the LED states of modules, this
function is useful for remote program maintenance.
