Hi,
I have a test setup based on a NI-7356 controller. It controls 6-axis, performs contouring and high speed capture.
I have two types of watchdog errors:
1. The computer has to be cold started twice before the controller works. The first startup results in a watchdog timeout error making it unusable without a new cold start.
2. Random watchdog errors (-70035 NIMC_watchdogTimoutError) occur when running the program. They usually occur on completion of a simple move or while intermediately halting a move. This can happen with or without high speed capture/contouring. These errors require a reset of the controller (no power cycling).
I already reduced the number of calls to the controller (e.g. checking for motion complete every 50ms or more, updating contour buffers every 200ms, reading high speed capture buffers every 200ms) so it doesn't get flooded.
Any ideas why this is happening? How can I solve this?
Kind regards,
Wouter
