robotic3d Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hello I have an application that is using Pcommserver (4.2.0.11). It's talking to a PMAC-VME 8 axis firmware 1.15T. I know that PewinPro2 suggests to change firmware due to I63 & I64 not available for this firmware version. But I can still use it & communicate with PMAC. Sometimes Pcommserver hangs with the following message: **** Watchdog as tripped or Reset Pressed.Communication to Pmac stopped. Close all applications including PmacServer. If watchdog tripped please do a hard reset or recycle power first. **** The problem is that the watchdog isn't tripped. So what is happening, a Pcommserver bug ? Thanks four help.

steve.milici Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 This is a result of PMAC not responding fast enough especially with multiple threads running. Newer firmware utilizing I63 and I64 can alleviate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I found same problem on my tester equipment that use Pmac mini to control X-Y axis, I try to changed the Pmac card but the problem still happen. Can anybody please kindly advise for this issue. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Are you saying this card also causes the Executive to report a watchdog fault that is not there? What communication port is this using? What windows are open in the executive? What is the "Thread Priority" for each window set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
