Error with PKTX card after a Frame Error (Not Recoverable)
Working on a new application with a PKTX Card using DH-485. We've seen a couple times in the last 24 hours where we get some sort of communication error (happens occasionally) but as you'll see from the error export, after the comm error, a "Functionality Test" is run, fails and then won't recover/reset the board diagnostic failure. Even if I shutdown & restart the OPC server, it won't come back. The ONLY way to get it to reset is to do a HARD REBOOT of the machine.
What can we do?
We have found two reasons for this kind of thing in the past.
- Try adjusting your Windows power management options so that the computer does not attempt to go into a low-power state. The low-power state may keep DH+ cards such as the PKTX or PKTX-D from operating normally.
- This error may occur due to a conflict between our server and RSLinx. Please make sure that RSLinx is completely uninstalled.
(In this case there was no RSLinx running, but the problem was the power management settings)
