cfieldpoint tcp/ip is stopping after some seconds

[woutert]

I use a cFieldpoint for my RT simulator interface.

My ethernet communication is lost after some seconds,..

I reboot cfp, start in safe mode, but still it stops after a while.

Does someone have a hint to work around this? Or is it a hardware problem?

How can I format my cFP without ehternet connection?

Hi
  As I posted earlier, I created something like a "virus", if I put a normal while loop (endless) inside a timed loop, my cFP-2020 hanfs indefinitely, and it does not respond even also to ping!!!!!!!!!! Have you got the same situation? Have you problem also in seeing the controller under MAX?

   What I saw was pretty similar to what you're reporting.....

   I'll check and report my "while loop problem" post.

   Let's discover in depth cFP's insides....

    Have a nice day!

Hi,

The problem is solved.

In NiMax I had to reformat the cFieldpoint, and all went to normal afterwards.

If some endless loop is run at startup, a dip switch can be set to start without the startup vi.

But even so, in my case no solution.

I think my application filled up the disc and no more space was left. So some seconds after startup the Tcp/IP connection was lost.

Because I had to reformat, I can't be sure.

But if I was fast enough, I could reformat with NiMax.

Amazing..... exactly, how far is this nuclear plant from my house?

  Have a nice day!

PS.: I found a problem too with disc access in FP, in fact, when the disc is full, or the drive (D : ) is absent, OS is not really happy..... it can hang for a while!  That's why I implemented a simple control of disk space left/drive integrity, which I embedded with application.

So if it true, the solution to the problem could be:

If rebooted in NO VI, safe mode, some drive space should be freed.

So I propose a system file of some size that always exists in normal modes but is deleted during NO VI mode, safe mode.

So the TCP/IP and FTP connections could always be made in safe mode.
