SD card error

Hello, 

I have a single MSC2 at one site that keeps randomly crashing. The only way I can restart it is by unplugging the power and turning it back again. If you look at the error code it is showing, it's the faulty SD card. This has happened this March, then in June, now today and a many times more from last summer (installation date), we don't have records. By now we have:

  • formatted and exchanged the SD cards (multiple times)
  • grounded the controller power and the Meanwell DIN power supply 15W 15V
  • restricted web access to be only from one IP (our office)
  • planned to replace the controller

There are 2 amplifiers, 2 splitters and 22+3 LED DMX decoders in the system.

I have a second site with the same problem but with different set-up: 2 x MSC4, two DMX nodes, two switches and 179 LED DMX decoders distributed evenly across universes. We have sent the show files to our supplier and there's nothing from with them.

We have now replaced both MSC4 on the second site, yet one of them crashed just after two weeks.

All controllers are running 2.8.1.

I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem and how did you solve it?

  • We've had a similar issue with crashing during uploading. The only time we've had random crashing though, has been related to scripting or module errors. Do you have any modules running? We recently used the set variable module and that caused frequent crashing. 

    I'd probably try deleting any scripting or modules (if you can) to see if that stabilizes it.  Any script or set of triggers that creates an infinite loop will also crash it.

    Thank you for the suggestions. We are not running any scripts, variables or modules - just simple triggers, mostly astronomical. I will check for possible mismatches or loops, but as the problem occurs irregulary (same show file has been running since February), I don't think the problem is in triggers.
