Re: cRIO cutting out 5 s after collision
Check your Ethernet cables and the condition of your router ports. Also check the power connection to the 2CAN.

Red flashing means the 2CAN lost the cRio. As Don mentioned, it takes longer than 5 seconds for the cRio to reboot. It takes ~35 seconds for the router to recover from losing power (that hit us last weekend). Now that I think about it, the 2CAN takes about five seconds to reboot...

We've had small bits of plastic break off of Ethernet plugs and receptacles. The result is a physically loose and electrically intermittent connection. Everything looks fine, until a jolt in the wrong direction breaks a connection.

-Edit- I just re-read the OP. Sounds like a direct connection from cRio (8-slot) to 2CAN? My suggestion was based on the four slot cRio, assuming a router was in play.
