Download Logic prj to EV3

[hansvanzijp]

Hello,

I followed the steps in the zenonChallenge2014_LEGO_EV3_Tutorial and
tried to download a simple program to the EV3.

During download I get a lot of error messages:

2014/07/03-20:58:06 LoadCode:C:\ProgramData\COPA-DATA\SQL2012\ee569a52-50bb-4426-ae69-6b2645c4869e\FILES\straton\P1\appli.XTI

2014/07/03-20:58:07 ## Status = Error
2014/07/03-20:58:07 Cycle time overflow

I assume the "Embedded software missing" is the critical one.
It looks I can download the application, but the error's prevent starting it.

Mindstorms firmware is 1.06H

What's wrong?

Hello Hans,

it seems you have the 'logic to SCADA' fieldbus driver in your project.

Just remove this driver from the fieldbus configuration setting in your project.

The logic to SCADA driver is only for use on a PC together with zenon, technical it is working with a shared memory.

On the LEGO EV3 you have only straton.

Let us know if it worked then.

Hello Markus,

Thanks, that fixed it.
I also had to set the cycle time to 50 msec to get rid of the time out messages.
Basically I have it running, only the communication between the zenon runtime and the robot is very poor. Zenon gets offline very often. In the diagviewer I get messages like this:
Project 'P1': Reading variable 'Main/Fwd', array index '0' failed. (All failed) return code '-4'

Downloading the project from the zenon logic workbench works fine, and also the connection with the Lego application runs well by Wifi, so I think the Wifi connection is not the problem.

Are there settings to improve this?

Kind Regards,
Hans van Zijp.
