      The command was run while serial communication timeouts, but output is the same after a PLC restart.

          @pascal37 Can you try increasing the Max telegram duration a bit higher? For example 300ms? If that won't help. You can also try to increase the pause between telegrams to 5ms.

            Hi @tomas_hora,

            I have increased Max telegram duration to 300ms + added a 5ms pause between telegrams.

            I have also update my M525 to latest Axon runtime (2.3.0.8) with latest firmwares/drivers.

            I will let you know if issue occurs again.
            Many thanks and kind regards.

              Hi @tomas_hora, issue occured again again with port 1.1 and new settings (Max telegram duration to 300ms + added a 5ms pause between telegrams.)
              A simple PLC reboot (from Debian OS) was enough to regain data acquisition from the 3 Inepro PRO380 meters.

              I do not understand why problem never occured when using port 1.3 of same PLC, nor with my previous M505.
              What is the difference between ports 1.1 and 1.3 ?
              If same hardware, could it be a hardware issue with port 1.1 on my M525?

                Hello @pascal37,

                thank you for the information sent. Unfortunately, based on it, we are not able to determine the exact source of the issue.
                Can you please check the following:

                1. Again, make sure you have the latest firmware in the I/O board flashed. Type:
                /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 0
                
                1. Can you confirm that the i2c-0 error in the dmesg log appears always in the moment of communication goes wrong? It seems there is a correlation (863475 seconds is almost exactly 10 days).

                2. Are you sure that no other running processes access the interface (/dev/ttyNS0)? Please check also your time-scheduled tasks (e.g. executed from cron).

                3. Are you sure that no noise or interference from the environment or power supply can infiltrate the unit?

                As the last resort, we are able to simulate your application with the same HW, but it will be pretty time-consuming. In the meantime, please use another RS485 interface.

                  Hi @martin_triska,

                  1. I did a reflash (USB method) of my M525 with latest Mervis OS image (2.3.0.10), firmwares are already up-to-date:
                  unipi@M525-sn8:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 0
                  Boardset:     0 B-1000                         (v1.0)
                  Baseboard:    0 B-1000                         (v2.0)
                  Firmware: v5.50
                  unipi@M525-sn8:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 1
                  Boardset:    19 E-4Ai4Ao_U-R485Di4Ro5          (v1.0)
                  Baseboard:   11 E-4Ai4Ao                       (v1.0)
                  Firmware: v5.50
                  
                  1. From what I've seen after serial communications "crashes", I did not see anymore an i2c-0 error in demsg, so I am not sure this is correlated.

                  2. Yes: it is a standard Mervis OS image + 2 pythons scripts running as daemons with pymodbus client over ModbusTCP, so no serial communications there.

                  3. Yes: I am using shielded cable specific for RS485, the bus is properly terminated at each end. Cable shield is properly grounded at PLC side and also to PLC itself. Environment is stable and, so long the issue is not occurring, communication is working perfectly.
                    With the increase of Max telegram duration to 300ms, there is absolutely no error during multiple days:

                  PLC_status.JPG

                  It seems most likely a driver or Mervis runtime issue related to M525 model and port 1.1 !?
                  As I said, I never had the issue when using port 1.3 instead of port 1.1
                  I have also another RS485 bus on port 2.1 and no issue either.
                  This issue also never occurred with port 1.1 on my previous M505 PLC

                  If you want to try reproduce the issue, you need 3 Inepro PRO380 meters and read constantly multiple values from them like power, energy, voltage.
                  In my case, the maximum uptime before a crash is about 10 days.

                  I can use port 1.3 in the meantime, but I will need the 3rd RS485 port later for my project...
                  But let's check again if it is really stable with port 1.3 over >10 days !

                  Many thanks in advance and kind regards

                    Hi @martin_triska,

                    I confirm the solution is stable over >50 days when using port 1.3 :

                    uptime.jpeg

                    ... but not with port 1.1, where serial communications crashes < 10 days !
                    If you did not find a software issue related to port RS485-1.1 on Axon M525, there should be a hardware issue with my PLC !

                    I have bought this PLC because I need 3 RS485 ports, so using port 1.3 over 1.1 is not a solution...

                    Can you please replace this unit ?
                    Many thanks in advance and kind regards,

                    Pascal

                      Hello @pascal37,

                      thank you for the feedback. So, let us sum it up:

                      1. On ports other than 1.1, you've never seen the issue yet (tested over 50 days without reboot).
                      2. On port 1.1, the issue appears always in a few (approx. 10) days.
                      3. There is no correlation with any item in the system log (dmesg) recorded in the moment of failure.
                      4. Flash to the latest version 5.50 has not solved it.
                      5. An older PLC M505 does not have this problem (is the FW and image versions in it also the latest?)

                      If so, you are right - it seems to the issue is hardware-based and the unit has to be replaced.

                        Hi @martin_triska,

                        Yes, that sums up the situation well, so I'll write to support@unipi.technology for replacement request.

                        Many thanks,

                        Pascal
