I have several temperature sensors connected via 1-wire to Neuron and occasionally all of them stops working. Sometimes they work for one day, sometimes for several months.
In Mervis in variables in debug mode I see Communication error True and the temperature is zero.
On the status screen I see:
Sent packets 2746181
Received packets 2441053
Wrong packets 4
Packet error ration 0.0%
Don't know why is the difference between sent/received packets that big and how it corresponds with wrong packets and error ratio.
(Wanted to paste image here, but it doesn't work)
I tried restarting Raspberry, but not sure whether it could help. Is the 1-wire bus connected directly to PLC or is it connected through Raspberry and then to PLC?
I also tried setting OW_off_1 to true and then back to false (as found elsewhere on the forum), but it didn't help. Is this switching to true and false the right approach?
The only thing which helps is powering off and on the whole Neuron and that's really not what I can use in practice.
I have shielded cables and serial topology, but it's possible there are some communication errors anyway. I think that the controller should be able to recover from that errors and not stuck forever.
I have found several posts in forum complaining about similar behavior, so it seems it's quite common problem.
Could you please guide me to some solution? Or is it necessary to make a fix on Unipi side?
