With the ABCC driver package "Host Application Example Code" you can print out the messages that are exchanged between the Anybus CompactCom (ABCC) and your host controller. This can be important for debugging. This article described what changes have to be made.

In Anybus CompactCom applications, how can I print out a message log?
- In abcc_adapt/abcc_drv_cfg.h, set at least the define ABCC_CFG_DEBUG_MESSAGING to TRUE:
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Debug and error macro configuration
**
** Check the descriptions in "./abcc_drv/inc/abcc_cfg.h" for more information
** about the purpose of each separate 'define'.

Example:#define ABCC_PORT_DebugPrint( args ) printf args
