Title: Error in Debug window, etc.
Post by: ChrisM on February 15, 2021, 02:50:11 PM
Hello All,

     My debug window has these warnings flipping by and when I go to my HiCon debug window I noticed what I believe to be my 0 motor just keeps changing from the actual value to 0 over and over.  I did a search for that warning and didn't find anything.   I've been having failures  (STOPS) while trying to cut my aluminum vacuum plenum and can't trace down what the issue is.  It'll be cutting along fine and then just stop with some kind of limit error that I can't track down.  Could this be causing it?   Any help on what I need to do to troubleshoot this is appreciated.

Thank You,

Hello Chris

Warning Main Loop Process duration... means that the "Polling Frequency" set in System tab of the HiCON Config window is too high and the computer is not able to keep up. These messages are harmless as long as your machine is working as expected.

You can lower the polling frequency by 5 and increase the max buffer level by 10 until the warning disappears.
The Actual Tx/Rx frequency of the computer can be viewed in the HiCON Status window.
