Locked I have apparently created a loop or message storm in Loconet - I don't know if it's JMRI or not -- any suggestions on how to diagnose?
|
I have been working with my panels (current version at /g/jmriusers/files/ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Scott_Waltons_problem/PRR_West_CTC_cleaned_fourth_reset.xml)?getting the Signals correct (especially around the double crossovers). I got those apparently correctly and managed to get several Transits to correctly circle the railroad (mostly - a couple of pauses here and there). I went to work on it again and when I turned on power to the railroad, I noticed that the Loconet became VERY busy and never went idle. When I looked at the Loconet monitor, there were many "Send IMM Packet command" messages and most were rejected as the buffer was full. I turned off power to the railroad and then restarted JMRI -- the same situation recurred. I again turned off the railroad and this time started JMRI on a different computer, connected to the same railroad. I started a monitor capturing the Loconet data. The messages didn't start again I restarted the PanelPro with the panels in the files section. Then the messages started again, but the curious thing is that they didn't stop when I exited PanelPro, so there must be something in the LocoNet devices that is either sending or resending these messages. The Monitor log has been upload to the same file area (/g/jmriusers/files/ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Scott_Waltons_problem/monitorLog-alpha-full3.txt). No errors are showing in the System Console window.
The environment is: Windows 11, Java 11, command station is Digikeijs DR5000 with DR5088RC Railcom readers, and RR-CirKits devies (SignalMan, TowerMan, MotorMan, TC-64, TC-64 MKII). Any suggestions on how to narrow down this problem. I think it would help if I was able to decipher where the Send IMM packets were addressed. Scott Walton |

Well, I changed all the masts (about 35 of them) to a send count of 1 and the problem went away. That MIGHT have been the answer, or I did something different in the startup sequence, or it was something entirely different. We may never know.? Thanks for the suggestion -- it was probably a good idea to do even if it wasn't the cause of the problem (or maybe it was?).

Douwe, The send count option is only applicable to signal mast drivers that talk directly to the layout, such as the "DCC Signal Mast Decoder". ? ?
