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.

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

A

Messages Read
