ProfiLuxControl 5.0.0.11

[Matthias]

new:

- save settings also for firmware below 5.00n possible again
- automatical connection recovery: if a (W)LAN-connection has been disconnected (e.g. shutdown from router or switch or due to a bad connection) ProfiLuxControl tries autom. to recover this connection

[patrick vachon]

with the new soft ware 5.00.11 the problem of disconnection (Code 62) seemed solved! matthias thank you!.

I'll keep you informed if the problem come back, but since this morning no problem.

[mshur]

So far connection is stable for me too..
why can i change webserver passwords? Soon as i try to safe, i lose communication and have to end task profilux control

when you use PLC 5.0.0.11 with firmware 5.00n you will not have this problem

[boboxx]

hmm Matthias, I still do.... when I'm connected I wil get a delay pause the error and sometimes it will continue and sometime it will be "stuck" in a loop with the same message over and over

9.15am - Just installed and connected

Lets see how long for :D

[aqua_digital]

9.17am

Result dropped out but auto reconnected.

The issue with this is that if you are in the middle of changing settings, you then have to start all over again.

It is dropping out roughly once every 10 seconds. An auto reconnect is like a plaster over a cut, it hides the cut but does not cure the wound

Need another update to this Matthias - Sorry.

10:30 online with new 5.0.0.11. Now lets see if I can stay connected as 5.0.0.10 worked for a few minutes then always freezes up and locks....

[Matthias]

17:35 and connected for about 6 days ...
2x reconnections in this time
connection over WLAN-bridge

[gqjeff]

1.5 hrs and still working. Def the longest it has stayed connected. Usually would only get about 5-10 min before freezing...

Where can you see the reconnections ?
I only see the failed transmissions.

this weekend I'm gonna have a look what happens on the network.

[Matthias]

after a failed transmission a reconnection is started autom.

[mshur]

From 1am to 9.30 ams i had 132 failed transmissions :(

[gqjeff]

Mike, at least you had reconnection I lost connection last night and it never restarted.... :(

[gqjeff]

Lost connection again this morning and it does not auto reconnect????

[Blahenazo]

Also must admit yesterday it also stop but it was after I got my laptop out of sleepmode ( so I see this as acceptable )

[gqjeff]

Mine stops every time it goes to send an email so in other words the function is worthless...

[Matthias]

sending emails from ProfiLuxControl without disconnecting works usually, possible reasons for problems there:
- email settings not 100% correct
- firewall or antivirus blocks

[patrick vachon]

pl3 my ex is still with disconnected version (o) and .11.

Be with the usb and ip. This changes nothing.

It displays the error mesage (Code 50)? and it disconnects. He was about 30 min. This is much better than before (code 62 to 10 sec) but is still disconnected.

thank you

[Matthias]

code 50 means "timeout" - controller does not respond because the connection is down
with 5.00p we added a new feature to recover the LAN-connection
but with USB we can't do more, it usually works stable for days - if driver is correct and there are not such things activated like power-save shut-down for USB

[aqua_digital]

The biggest reconnection reason is if you are viewing the profilux over a Wireless router

EG

Profilux to wireless router = hard wired cat5
Wireless router to PC = wireless

Result = drop outs due to lost packets

if you have hard wire connection from profilux to router and then router to PC it should not drop out.

I believe this is being looked at currently to resolve.

[gqjeff]

Mines all ran through USB to PC. Then PC is cat5 into a router on our server..

[patrick vachon]

I try the usb to pc profilux (without router) and it disconnects. I try with a USB 2.0 and a standard and nothing more. After several hours of programing it can disconnect any time. I'll connect USB (direct to pc profilux) tonight and see how many failed connection I have. I'll be back the above.

[patrick vachon]

ok, i have try usb direct and ip. I had an hour with direct usb, 2 Transmitters missed and an hour with ip, 21 Transmitters miss??

Why is any problem of Transmitters?:confused:

[Matthias]

I think in these hours of testing there were some thousand good transmissions

it is not unusual that there are some bad transmissions from time to time - the better the connection (depends on wiring, hardware etc., especially WLAN could produce transmission issues) the less the bad transmissions will be

a bad transmission is no problem - ProfiLuxControly tries to recover, if necessary it reconnects automatically

[patrick vachon]

ok thank you!

i have a otther small question, I m not very good in computer but is that the problem of connection could be linked with quad core processor(compatible)?

I was told that many programs have a hard time to be rolled( compatible) by the quad core?

On my laptop I have a quad core intel 9000 with windows 7. I check in (performance) in windows and when profilux control works, I have only 1 core works? For most of my other program, I have a minimum of two core works?

Is it possible that this is a link with sudden disconnection and connection problem during update?

[patrick vachon]

Here are before and after opening profilux control. This may be normal and in no way affects the connection.

This is just a question I ask myself.:)

[Matthias]

Hi

I also have here a quad core PC with Win7 64 Bit - works perfect with USB and LAN!
