The service startup information, as configuration errors for example, are logged by the service in a file ElipsePRPSvc.log, generated at the same service folder, if this option is enabled.
After startup, the service starts to send other logs and statistics to an UDP port, informed at the configuration window, which is received by the IEC 61850 driver.
The log messages are redirected to the driver log, with the prefix "PRPService: XXXXXXXX".
Status information are available through 6 tags, that can be created at the driver.
They are:
NAME |
DESCRIPTION |
ITEM |
DEVICE |
|---|---|---|---|
LANA_Active |
Indicates if PRP is logically active on LAN A. Inverted networks (for example) do not allow any of the LAN´s to become active. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANA_Active |
LANB_Active |
Indicates if PRP is logically active on LAN B. Inverted networks (for example) do not allow any of the LAN´s to become active. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANB_Active |
LANA_TotalSent |
Indicates the total number of packets sent on LAN A. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANA_TotalSent |
LANB_TotalSent |
Indicates the total number of packets sent on LAN B. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANB_TotalSent |
LANA_TotalReceived |
Indicates the total number of packets received on LAN A. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANA_TotalReceived |
LANB_TotalReceived |
Indicates the total number of packets received on LAN B. |
ElipseClientInfo |
PRPStat_LANB_TotalReceived |
Define a reasonable scan interval for these tags, in order to avoid driver log pollution. As suggestion, the scan can be between 5000 and 10000 ms (5 and 10 seconds).
