Remote reboot of cRIO-9073

[okissele]

Hello,

I have VI (reading of the thermo sensors) running on cRIO-9073. I read the values of the temperature via shared variable and Ethernet.

I have a problem - if the network interruption happens, I cannot connect any more with cRIO. If I try to load the VI again, it hangs. I must switch off cRIO and on via power switch.

Is there way to avoid it? How can I make a romote reboot of cRIO?

Thank you.

The RT Utilities palette has RT Restart Target.vi.  You can go by either IP or MAC.  You might want to look at better error handling on your cRIO program.  I always make sure my cRIO deployments can run without network access.  Might not keep valid data but they won't error out.  If this application must be networked, you could add a software watchdog.  Have the cRIO restart itself if a message isn't received every n seconds.

Thank you, I will try.

The problem is I need to look time to time to the temperature values and make logging. I can try to make the reading less often – once per minute or so. Now it is once per second.

Logging (once per 10 minutes) is running on a PC, not cRIO and it is a separate VI. I do not have a module with flash card inside for logging, so I need to get connected to cRIO for logging.

Regards.

Open a Project and Insert the cRIO. Use Shared Variables to transmit Data to the PC Via LAN and store the data there. refer to the Example Finder HardwareI/O>>compactRIO>>Application>> Datalogging.
