while performing travel sensor calibration get error code 1802. What is this means in plain language.

We are using NI configurator 3.1. On our DVC5010f fisher controllers we have replaced potentiometer.  While performing calibration thru NI we are getting error code 1802. Can some one explain in plain language what is this means and what can be done to fix this.

This error code is not defined by NI-FBUS Configurator. If Configurator reports this error, it should have passed this error from elsewhere.

Would you please send me some details? How and where is this error reported? Any information with screen-shot could be much appreciated. Hope I could do some help for you from there.

We have replaced potentiometer (Travel sensor ) on our Digital Valve Controller DVC5010F (Fisher). After Replacing this travel sensor, we were doing calibration using NI configurator software. During the calibration the software did not recognized the set range (variable) of travel sensor and gave us error code # 1802. These codes are accesible through www.ni.com web site. To get to listing of error codes. go to main page and in search block type in Fieldbus error code and select option 2 from several choices. these gives you listing of error codes. Code # 1802 derived from combination of error codes 0x0002, 0x0800 and 0x1000. These is where I am getting confused ...what is this? can some one explain this in simple term.

The error is defined and reported by Device Description Service (DDS). Here is the description in the Fieldbus Specification:
-----------------------------
1802 BLTIN_VAR_NOT_FOUND
Cannot find variable
-----------------------------

Typically, this error is due to an incorrect member id of a parameter. I would like to suggest you:
1. Have your DD developer checking which builtin is called in this method; the "Method Development Guild" from Fieldbus Foundation could help in details for each builtin;

2. Visit the following forum, experts there might help you much directly.

Hope it helps and please feel free to let me know if I could do more help for you.
