| Object value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | The line is working. |
| False | The line is not working. Note: Solving line failure problems depends on the line category. Each line generates the output file called line_name.log placed in the trace subdirectory of the application directory. The file contains detailed information about the error. |
The communication line value may have the Weak status bit set if a configuration change to the line parameters has occurred that is not dynamically supported (currently a change in the line category) and requires a restart of the communication process or a RELOAD command.
The definition of working of the line depends on its category:
| Line category | Functioning line |
|---|---|
| LonWorks | The LonWorks dynamic library (ldv32.dll) was initialized and the specialized LON device could be opened. |
| MOXA IP Serial Library | The Moxa dynamic library (Ipserial.dll) was initialized, a connection to the specified Moxa devices was established and specified serial port parameters were set. |
| RFC2217 Client | A TCP connection with the RFC2217 server was established and possibly the parameters of the serial port were queried. |
| Serial Serial Line Redundant System&Line Redundant | The serial port was open and the required serial port parameters were set. |
| SerialOverUDP Device Redundant SerialOverUDP Line Redundant SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant | Binding to the specified local UDP port(s) was successful. |
| TCP/IP-TCP TCP/IP-TCP Redundant TCP/IP-TCP System Redundant | A TCP connection was established (client protocols), resp. binding to the specified local TCP port(s) was successful (server protocols). |
| TCP/IP-UDP | Binding to the specified local UDP port was successful. |

- closing the line (for lines of categories Serial, Serial Line Redundant, System Serial System&Line Redundant, and RFC2217 Client with the LNSTAT OPEN/CLOSE command will change the value of the line to False.
- closing the TCP/IP-TCP line in the Modbus Client protocol due to the Immediate Disconnect protocol parameter will cause the line value to change to False.
- closing the TCP/IP-TCP line in the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol due to disabling all communication stations will cause the line value to change to False.
...
- Line category SerialOverUDP Line Redundant: the FA - FB flags inform about a communication failure on the primary/secondary line.
- Line category SerialOverUDP System&Line Redundant and TCP/IP-TCP System Redundant: the FA - FD flags inform about a communication failure on the primary/secondary line of the A/B system.
- Line category RFC2217 Client: flags inform about connection to the specified IP address (FA - 1st address, FB - 2nd address, etc).
- Line category TCP/IP-TCP and communication protocol IEC 870-5-104 Server: flags inform about connected clients. For a detailed description see the note in the description of the protocol.
- Line category TCP/IP-TCP or TCP/IP-TCP Redundant and multiple client communication protocols (e.g. IEC 870-5-104, MODBUS Client, DLMS/COSEM, Siemens SAPHIR, OEM protocols): flags inform about connection to the specified IP address (FA - 1st address, FB - 2nd address, etc).
Note: the Siemens SIMATIC S7 ISO on TCP communication protocol does not have such diagnostics, as it can create up to 4 TCP connections in parallel.
If the start parameter /NFL is specified, the line flags are not set.
