How Can I See What Communication is Occurring Between Foundation Fieldbus Devices?

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-FBUS
Primary Software Version: 3.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Industrial Communications>>Fieldbus

Problem: How can I create a log of all of the communication that occurs on the network so that I can troubleshoot installing a Foundation Fieldbus device or a problem on the network?

Solution: The NI-FBUS Monitor software (777522-01) provides a way of allowing a PCI or PCMCIA Fieldbus card to monitor all of the communication that occurs on the network. The monitor is also packaged with a PCI Fieldbus card (778652-01) or with a PCMCIA Fieldbus card (777377-01).

Note: A single Fieldbus card can either run the Monitor or programs that use NI-FBUS such as the Configurator, the OPC server, or a communications manager program. If you want to use both the Configurator and the Monitor at the same time, you will need two cards.
