After configuring module in Pictory, module is "not configured"

[etienne1984]

Hello,

Sorry another problem only some days after my first post...
I cannot explain this: I installed my DIO and AIO modules on left of my Core3+ unit.

I configured Core3+ and DIO through Pictory (added in slots, see screenshot) as on the DIN rail (they are properly connected with bridges).

I saved config (File -> Save As -> "bancDeTestConfig" -> OK), then clicked on Tools->ResetDriver. But my program still does nothing, and piTest -d gives:

Code: Select all

pi@RevPi39037:~/OpenPLC_v3/webserver/st_files $ piTest -d
Found 3 devices:

Address: 0 module type: 95 (0x5f) RevPi Core V1.2
Module is present
     input offset: 0 length: 6
    output offset: 6 length: 5

Address: 31 module type: 96 (0x60) RevPi DIO V1.4
Module is present, but NOT CONFIGURED!!!
     input offset: 11 length: 70
    output offset: 81 length: 18

Address: 30 module type: 103 (0x67) RevPi AIO V1.3
Module is present, but NOT CONFIGURED!!!
     input offset: 99 length: 20
    output offset: 119 length: 4

And in dmesg also, I can read the following lines after the driver reset:

So, I found strange to read "[10197.997873] piControl: config.rsc is empty! Probably needs to be configured in piCtory". In /var/www/pictory/projects folder, I have:

Any help welcomed, I am stuck... Thank you!

Hi

Try "save as startup config" and reset the driver again

Nicolai

[etienne1984]

Thank you but already tested (several times...), sorry...

Also tried reboot, no changes.

Hi,

OK, I only asked because you metioned in your first post that you saved the configuration under a different name bancDeTestConfig and not used the menu entry "Save as Start-Config.".

Please share the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

md5sum /etc/revpi/config.rsc

# if you run the older Stretch image
md5sum /var/www/pictory/projects/_config.rsc

# if you run our latest Buster image
md5sum /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc

Please also share the complete file /etc/revpi/config.rsc as an attachement.

If you still are using the older Stretch image I highly recommend to upgrade to the latest Buster image!

Hello Nicolai,

Here is the output of commands you asked:

Code: Select all

pi@RevPi39037:~ $ md5sum /etc/revpi/config.rsc
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  /etc/revpi/config.rsc
pi@RevPi39037:~ $ md5sum /var/www/pictory/projects/_config.rsc
3923d461766742b0a0ef0f571d00b4f1  /var/www/pictory/projects/_config.rsc
pi@RevPi39037:~ $ md5sum /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc

But when you asked me to attach config.rsc file, the problem appeared immediately: the link is incorrect, it is:

Code: Select all

pi@RevPi39037:~ $ ll /etc/revpi
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Nov 15 09:16 config.rsc -> /var/www/revpi/pictory/projects/_config.rsc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Mar  2  2020 image-release

Whereas files are in /var/www/pictory/projects/. It seems the downgrade operation you asked me to do in this thread: https://revolutionpi.com/forum/viewtopi ... cadea2035f has not been processed correctly.

I manually fixed the link pointing to the good file and configuration works now.

I will probably update to Buster image, but as I installed and configured OpenPLC runtime, I would like not to process again its configuration.

Anyway, I was not aware of the possibility to update to this new image (and i I knew before, I would have processed to this update at the beginning of my installation process...), is this notified somewhere in the tutorials ? (If not, could you point that out somewhere ?)

Thank you for help,

Etienne

Hi Etienne,

I'm glad to hear, that you were able to fix this issue!

In theory you could upgrade the system from stretch to buster in the debian way, but this is not recommended by us. The prefered way is to flash the new image as described in our tutorials and reinstall the custom applications afterwards.

OK thank you.
