Dear All,

Firmware revision C is now available for the 40x0 controller, and the release notes include several ethernet fixes. It is worth trying this firmware C. All clues regarding cause are important (CA broadcast etc).

We could ask Galil to make the IK command block CA ports? If EPICS CA broadcasts are what is causing the Galil to become unresponsive on the network, enhancing the IK command would seem the way to go.

Have you tried a simple IK1 command on the controller? Please refer to command manual for IK command. This may help, but others have reported it didnt help at all. With an older RIO 47200 this fixed our problem with it dropping off the network.

A cause needs to be found, before we can describe a fix.  Galil have known about this problem for some time, but are unable to reproduce it in their lab. Galil are keen to find a fix, but may need help as their test environment does not include EPICS.

JinHu, I'm most curious to hear your test results later in the week. I hope you can find the cause for us.

Best wishes,

Mark
