Understanding the output.log file information.

Ayoub Einollahi

Hello All,
I want to know more about output.log. Anyone knows where can I find detailed information about this file. I mean a document that explains the meaning of those logs' information. I attached the files. In the following, I attached a part of the log file. For example how to understand about the "ErrorState = 0xCF 0x81 0xFD 0x 5" ?

Hello,
those errorcodes come from the PN spec. FDIS. 61158–5–10 | 61158–6–10
07.04.21 22:17:24.526 Arp.Io.ProfinetStack.System.Internal.Adaption WARN - ARUserID = 16 <<--- WHERE
07.04.21 22:17:24.526 Arp.Io.ProfinetStack.System.Internal.Adaption WARN - ErrorState = 0xCF 0x81 0xFD 0x 5
07.04.21 22:17:24.526 Arp.Io.ProfinetStack.System.Internal.Adaption WARN - Error msg = PNIO_RTA_ERR_AR_CONSUMER_DHT_EXPIRED <-- WHAT

Basically 0xCF 0x81 0xFD indicate what kind of error it is.
FD=253 + 0x 5 = DHT_EXPIRED

You can find it in the DIN on page 409/739 : 5380 but the Error msg. is already pretty good anyway..

DHT_EXPIRED = Timeout caused by connection loss or lagging network or to slow device.
Please check the PN update rate you have configured and see if you realy need the Xms cyclic update time in this case.
maybe XXms are enough as well and your network or device is able to handle that reliable?

Hello Oliver,
Thank you for your nice explanation.
You mentioned to DIN on page 409/739:5380, could you let me know more about 5380, is it standard or specification?
I cannot find any information about.

Oliver is referring to the Profinet specifications.
IEC 61158-6-10, page number 409 of 739, line number 5380.
