Re: Intermitten power failures

Greg,
Can you check with NI Rep Andrew on this one? I believe we found that under certain conditions, loops with in user programs caused a slight lag in program execution which caused a watchdog issue. This was a common problem throughout the season last year regardless of which language was used. Due to the error, all output was halted for a brief period. It manifests as a power loss but is not. Conditions included loss of robot indicator, loss of motor drive, compressor shuts off, robot twitches, etc.
