I have an application that frequently displays error code 33162. I followed the advice at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C4E77D7E9BECBAFE86256C6200544289 and doubled my network timeouts to 4 seconds timeout and 10 seconds initial connect timeout. I still get the error however. When I get the error the block diagram briefly flashes on one of the blocks, but it's too fast to really see.
I am having the problem occur repeatedly again today. My fieldpoint hardware is cFP-2000. I am currently seeing repeated 33162 errors, so many that I have to stop my application.
The attached screenshot shows where the error is occuring. We'd really appreciate any advice on this problem. Our fieldpoint modules are located close to some heavy AC equipment, so hopefully the EM fields from this are not affecting them.
The user manual lists the electomagnetic compliance on page B-4 (64 of the pdf). Have you tried moving your FieldPoint controller away from the heavy equipment?
It turns out that the fieldpoint modules I was looking at where not the ones giving the error; the ones that lead way to error 33162 are well shielded. Is there any diagnostic we can run to check communications to the Fieldpoint module e.g. to test cabling and network reliability? We still are getting this problem intermittently.
Thanks for the responses. It turned out the problem was a fieldpoint module being in a bad state and unable to communicate. Resetting the fieldpoint module fixed the problem; no more 33162 error.
