Field I/O Status Screen (FIC Status Screen)
The Field I/O Status Screen (previously the FIC Status screen) displays
information about the Field Interface Cards (FICs) and Field interface
Modules (FIMs) that communicate with a C ontroller Processor. This screen
is for display purposes only. No screen entries are allowed. To call up the
Field I/O Status screen, type the command FS [=address] [ENTER] where
“address” is the hardware address such as =87F.
NOTE: MultiLoop FlexTerms, some Contact FlexTerms, and Multiplexor
FlexTerms cannot be displayed on this screen.
