4.8 Reset states

4.8 Reset states

During power up, NextMove BXII is held in a safe non-operational state known as hardware reset. It will also go into hardware reset if the 24V logic supply drops below approximately 18V. This prevents uncontrolled operation due to the electronics losing power. When NextMove BXII is in hardware reset for any reason, most of the controlled interfaces fall into known states.

It is also possible for NextMove BXII to be in a state known as software reset. This is a safe operational state where only the bootloader present on NextMove BXII is running, because no valid firmware has been found. This can happen if a firmware download is cancelled before it has finished. Use WorkBench v5 to download new firmware, allowing the process to finish. This might take 1-2 minutes.

Hardware and software reset states should not be confused with the Mint keyword RESET which is used to clear axis errors.

Communications

At power up the CAN controllers will be held in reset and will have no effect on the CAN buses. If a reset occurs during the transmission of a message CAN errors are likely to occur.

Digital Outputs

All of the digital outputs are inactive on power up regardless of their polarity. They will return to the inactive state whenever a reset occurs.

Analog Outputs

All analog outputs are set to 0V by hardware during power up and will return to 0V on a reset.

Encoders

The encoder interfaces will not register any encoder input during reset. If the unit goes into reset all position data will be lost.

4.8.1 System watchdog

The system watchdog provides hardware protection in the event of a firmware or ‘C’ program malfunction. If the system watchdog is not updated, the controller will be reset.
