We are developing a vision guided cutting operation using Motocom with 6 DX100s and we are seeing some unusual behavior with value overflows and periods where the network response becomes exceptionally slow. On four of the robots we are communicating via an EtherNet/IP card while the other two are using the on-board ethenet. I am wondering if there is any way if these two errors are linked and what can be done about it.
We are seeing the overflow when returning a double using BscGetVarData. We are using motocom32.dll version 5.3. BTW: Is there any reason to use BscHostGetVarData instead of BscGetVarData if you are not handling strings?
On the network side we have taken steps to limit the amazing amount of EtherNet/IP traffic generated by two network valve blocks. These two devices were responsible for nearly all of the network traffic. We have had a several instances where the robots have EtherNet/IP cards have had thrown major communication errors. Anyone else seen this happen on their DX100s?
