32 RSLinx – Training Guide
RSWho
RSWho is RSLinx’s network browser interface. RSWho allows you to view all the active
network connections from a single screen.
The left pane of RSWho is the Tree Control, which shows networks and devices. The
right pane is the List Control, which shows all members of a collection.
A collection is a network, or a device that is a bridge.
Features:
• RSWho browsing is restricted to one network at a time.
• RSWho list view has two views, large icon and detail.
• RSWho supports ascending and descending sorting for
columns in list view.
• RSWho supports persistence of window settings including
column width and splitter position.
• RSWho is started automatically and maximized when
RSLinx starts up.
Browsing
The RSWho icon indicates a network. If the icon is animated, the network is being
browsed. Click on a network or device to start browsing.
When the Autobrowse checkbox is selected, RSWho continuously browses the selected
network. If Autobrowse is cleared, the Refresh button is active. Clicking Refresh
instructs RSWho to perform one browse cycle of the selected device. Since Refresh
only performs one browse cycle, clicking Refresh multiple times may be necessary to
discover everything on the network.
When the network or device is collapsed (indicated by the + sign), click + or double-click
the network or device icon next to the + to expand the view and begin browsing. When
the network or device is expanded (indicated by the – sign), click – or double-click the
network or device icon next to the – to collapse the view.
Right-click on a supported device to select Station Diagnostics or other supported
services for that device.
Important: A device that appears with a red X over it indicates that RSWho previously
recognized this device, but now it can not. The red X indicates a
communication status error, such as unplugging a recognized device.
Tip: To remove multiple “dead nodes” delete a driver from RSWho, then
collapse and expand its parent branch.
