ASCII Error Messages
No response from device within timeout period
Lookout
Direct
received no response from the device within the Receive
timeout period. The ASCII object was able to establish a socket, but when
it sent a message to the device, the device did not respond—as if it were not
there. You may have to significantly increase Receive timeout (and Poll
Rate) to ensure LookoutDirect
is allowing enough time to receive the
expected response. Also, verify your cable connections, power,
configuration settings, and IP settings.
Not enough data to send a valid frame
This means that the ASCII object has not received enough data to fill in all
the variables in the Request Format frame. This could mean that you do not
have connections made to all of the RQVs that the ASCII object is
expecting.
Frame Error (garbled)
ASCII got a response frame, but static characters in the response did not
match up to the response format string.
Data type or length does not match format string
ASCII got a response frame, but certain characters in the response were not
in the format stated by the markers in the response format string.
Illegal control character
The request frame had a % modifier followed by an invalid control code.
