cRIO reboot

[alexndr]

I am encountering an unknown situation. Currently I have cRIO-9014 Real-Time controller, cRIO-9104 chassis, slots 1-6 NI 940 DIO, slots 7-8 NI 9425. Software is LabVIEW RT 8.5.1 and LabVIEW FPGA 8.5.1 and NI RIO 2.4. When I do a system reboot by right-clicking the RIO target on the project explorer and do a reboot from MAX I get unexpected signal outputs on all channels from the respective modules. This is not good for our current system set-up. Is there some way to prevent this from happening?

Advice is very appreciated.

Hi Alexandr,

When you mention 'unexpected signal ouputs' do you mean that LEDs on your modules light up? Does this happen only with the DIO modules or with both analog and digital modules? Do you power recycle the cRIO by pressing the 'reset' button (not IP reset, just the rest button) before formatting?

I do the same type of software reboot from three different locations 1)project explorer - right click cRIO target->Utilities->reboot 2) MAX target reboot 3) physically push the orange button on th cRIO to do a reboot. And there are times when I get outputs from the NI 9401 DIO modules only when I perform a software reboot from those three methods. The DIO has no LEDs but I do see the outputs on my O-scope. These outputs are unwanted when a reboot occurs, the reason I do a reboot is because when I loose communication with the cRIO, I do a reboot and then reconnect.

Hi Alexandr,

Please follow the instructions given on this page for a system reboot for the cRIO. This should fix your problem.
