Indicates whether field device has been denied bandwidth because the device has requested an
update rate exceeding available network capacity or has poor network topology.
If experiencing issues, too many devices at too fast of update rates may exist to be supported within
the network. Review network topology with respect to pinch points, update rates, and number of
devices. Ensure the network meets best practices. Tools such as AMS
Gateway Capacity Estimator can provide deeper insight into network topology issues and gateway
loading.
Number of times field device has joined the network since the last system reset (high value may
indicate some connectivity issue with that device). The number of joins increases at every power
module replacement or when the device is removed from the network and rejoins.

from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network
Member of a family of networks that implements the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) at
its upper layers. CIP encompasses a comprehensive suite of messages and services for a
variety of manufacturing automation applications, including control, safety,
synchronization, motion, configuration, and information.
