Chapter 14. Troubleshooting 225

[6] If you are running the driver with FIX or iFIX, make sure you have a

configuration file named nodename.SI7, where nodename is the name of your

FIX node, in the Database path (C:\FIX32\PDB, by default). If you are using

iFIX, the file resides in the root Dynamics directory. This file is needed for

FIX and iFIX to load the driver; do not delete, rename, or move it.

The driver transmits messages but does not receive messages

To find out why your driver is transmitting but not receiving messages

Examine your process hardware. See if any diagnostic lights on the device

indicate what the problem is.

At this point, we strongly recommend reducing the configuration to one channel, one

device, and one datablock. This makes it easier to focus on the problem.

To reduce the configuration to one channel, one device, and one datablock

[1] Disable all but one channel.

[2] On the enabled channel, disable all but one device.

[3] On the enabled device, disable all but one datablock.

[4] Verify that the communication processor, virtual field device, and connection

name for the device are correct. Hardware devices do not reply if any of these

values are wrong.
