Remote Monitoring and Management
To troubleshoot and manage Modbus-based device connectivity, information
such as TCP/IP, Modbus protocol type, and Master/Slave type are important.
NPort Modbus Gateway provides a powerful function that allows you to monitor
the operation of each Modbus Gateway on the Internet. The log monitor records
detailed actions, such as operation modes, serial communication parameters, and
TCP/IP connectivity for the NPort Modbus Gateway. These records include
date/time and can be saved as a text file for maintenance or service record.
Start Log Monitor
To start the Log Monitor, first click on the NPort 6110 you wish to monitor to
highlight it, and then click on the Start Log Monitor toolbar icon, or select
Start under the Log Monitor menu.
A Log Monitor window specific to the selected NPort 6110 will appear in the
bottom half of the Modbus Gateway Configurator window. Note that you can
open a separate Log Monitor window for other listed NPort 6110s by repeating
this process.
