HMI Router Port Counters

The CIMPLICITY counters for the IPC Ports inside the Router. The CIMPLICITY router is w32rtr.exe.

CIMPLICITY has three types of messages:

Message	Description
Intermediate Response	Messages will follow this message
Final Response	The last message in a chain sent by a process
Response Required	Messages that require a response. This type of message eliminates waiting by quickly showing if a process is unavailable.

The difference between the number of these messages written and read can be a helpful diagnostic tool for solving a problem.

Accumulated totals since the project started

For	Counter	Counts the Number of:
E	RR Writes	Response Required messages that an application has sent via a software port to the router. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	IR Writes	Intermediate Response messages that an application has sent via a software port to the router. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	FR Writes	Final Response messages that an application has sent via a software port to the router. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	RR Reads	Response Required messages sent from the router to an application via a software port. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	IR Reads	Intermediate Response messages sent from the router to an application via a software port. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	FR Reads	Final Response messages sent from the router to an application via a software port. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
E	RR Cancels	Response Required messages that have been canceled on one or all ports.
N	IR Drops	Intermediate Response messages that have been dropped by the router. The router has a buffer in which it stores the queue. Messages are dropped when the router's buffer is full. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports. This, along with FR Drops, is a clear indicator that the system is not processing messages quickly enough.
N	FR Drops	Final Response message has been dropped by the router on one or all software ports. The router has a buffer in which it stores the queue. Messages are dropped when the router's buffer is full. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports. This, along with IR Drops, is a clear indicator that the system is not processing messages quickly enough.
A	Messages Written	All of the messages sent from an application to the router via one or all software ports. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.
A	Messages Read	All of the messages sent from the router to an application. The CIMPLICITY counter can count one or all ports.

Indicators of current performance

For	Counter	Displays the
A	Messages Out	Messages that the router has queued waiting for a process.
For	Other Counter	Indicates that:
N	Overflows	Inter-process messages are being dropped and data loss is occurring in your project.
