Is the NPIX connector/bus inside the NetPi available & documented for customer use?  If so, can someone point me to the docs?

Dear Sir,

Can 'Docker Compose' be used from the Terminal section of netFIELD Device Manager?
As far as I tried with netFIELD On-Premise, there is no problem found.
If I can create and run containers by Docker Compose, it must be useful when setting up several netFIELD Connect(s) with the same containers.

Thank you very much for your information.
Best regards,

Hello Armin,

I am trying to run the netPi as an EtherCAT slave. I want to connect the netPi to the EtherCAT system of a machine where I need an Input and Output of 100 bytes each.
I used the netX example codes and changed the size of uint8_t abApp_Inputdata[10] and [i]uint8_t abApp_Outputdata[4][/i] to uint8_t abApp_Inputdata[100] and abApp_Outputdata[100] in "examples/includes/App.h". I also adapted the "Hilscher ECS LFW Host Example Simple Config.xml" by changing the DefaultSize of Inputs and Outputs from 10 and 4 to 100. Here, I also continued the RxPdo and TxPdo up to 100.

When I now run the application ECS_simpleConfig I get the following notification:

Register application failed Error: 0xc0000201
Error: 0xc0000201, <>
Error stopping the watchdog lRet = 0x800c0012!!

According to the documentation, the errorcode 0xc0000201 says that the "application ist already registered" and the errorcode 0x800c0012 means that the "communication channel ist not configured".
Does this indicate that there is a problem registering the slave with the master, meaning I made a mistake when customizing the xml file? Or have I missed a variable or something else in another file that I still have to change?

Or have I taken the whole thing too easy in the first place and it takes much more than just customizing the example files?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Forum

Does anyone have a photo, or drawing of the netPI mounted on a DIN Rail so we can see how the clip works and it's height relative to the rail?

Thanks in advance.

newbi question here...

I am starting to experiment with the WIFI interface of my netPI [NIOT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE]  

From control panel, I can  successfully set it up as an access point and connect to it from other wifi clients.

However, I'd like to set it up as a wifi client on the corporate network, which has WPA2-Enterprise SSIDs that require both an id and a password.   When I select one of these SSIDs from the netPis control panel, it prompts only for shared key.    [that is, it prompts only for password, not id and password, even though it displays the SSID as type  WPA2-Enterprise [WPA2 802.1X]       

Is there a way to specify connection to this SSID?

Regards,
Mike

Dear Armin,

Good Morning.

Now I am testing Modbus RTU node on NetFIELD to take Modbus RTU based Energy Meter data in node-red using RS485 to USB converter, I have installed CH341 USB driver & verified (attachment). 

In node red Modbus node not detecting USB0, so not able to establish Modbus RTU communication between Energy Meter and NetFIELD Gateway.
