Re: Robots not under driver control- does it happen- do you determine why?

We also have pneumatics for lifting our fork lift and have seen that behavior multiple times where it simply retracts the forklift. Something is causing the code to go into the startup state. This has happened to us in practice in the shop so the problem could still be communication related where a drop in communication does the same thing as not feeding the watchdog.

Not sure if it is possible to monitor the communication from the cRIO to have it log anytime it goes into "safe" mode.
