Dear Qingru,

Thank you for the update. It's interesting that a managed switch seems to have fixed the problem.

I hope the RIO is still functioning ok now?

What model, and firmware RIO do you have?

Best wishes,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I checked the linux with “route –n” command, and the IP address of the galil was in it.

I changed the unmanaged switch with a managed switch, and the galil softIOC ran a long time without any errors.

Hi Qingru,

I would guess that the multi-cast route is missing, which is required for the Galil driver you're using.

We add the following line into /etc/rc.local

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0

The error simply says it could not poll the first 8 digital inputs with Galil TI (Tell input) command.

Also there is a newer Galil driver designed to replace the one your using located here:

Best wishes,
