Communication Error with PIC µC through RS232.

Hello Friends.
I am getting continuous communication error with PIC µC reading through RS 232. Our µC programmed by external company and according to Communication protocol. µC sends 11 data packets in 43 ms and then delay on 50 sec. Actually Original labview code is developed in LabView 7.0 and now I am trying to update new installer to LabVIEW 9.0. I am attaching my LabView communication VI and capture data. If you see in the ComSerial.Vi, you can find when 8000! case is detected only that time 3 value sent to µc. In µc there is a Protocol, that when it receive 3 wrong packet (or damage packet) out of 10 then it send Error code 07 means communication error. Can you please take a look in to this ComSerial.vi and suggest me some Solution. I already spend more then 10 days to just figure it out.

I would suggest to start with the examples for the serial communication with LabVIEW and then built on them further. This way you will be sure about your code and then also for your communication and afterwards you can implement the further logic. Try those vis and see if your recieving the right data or not if not may be there is problem on hardware side!!

Communication error with the LOCAL_EXEC Function BAPI_PTMGREXTATTABS_CHECK

Hello,
We use timesheet (CATS) in a separate SAP system from the SAP system in which HR resides.
I found out how the loosely coupled scenario with CATS works with a SAP HR system. We transfer the workschedule and absence data with report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_REPLICATE to the SAP system in which CATS is used. This data is then available in the PTIMEOV1 table to perform time checks in CATS. The distribution model for ALE takes care of the fact that the data is posted into table PTIMEOV1. With BD97 I set up that the BAPI: PTMGREXTATTABS.CHECK has RFCdestination for synchronous calls = LOCAL_EXEC.
When I want to record on an attendance code without clock times then the above works fine. The SAP system in which CATS resides looks into table PTIMEOV1. So far so good.
However, when I want to record hours WITH clock times then I cannot save the data. The error message HRTIM00CATS667 shows up:
"Communication error with the LOCAL_EXEC Function BAPI_PTMGREXTATTABS_CHECK is no t available system"
Diagnosis
An error has occured during communication with the HR System. The HR data in the time sheet cannot be validated.
From the error message description it seems that it wants to check the SAP HR system instead of looking for the check in the SAP system in which CATS resides.....
When I change the value from LOCAL_EXEC to the system in which HR resides then the error disappears, but then it really checks into the SAP HR system (synchronous check with that SAP HR system) and that is not what the customer wants. The check should be local on the PTIMEOV1 table (in case the SAP HR system is down).
I did not find any OSS notes on the topic....or other info on SDN.
Can anyone help me out concerning this starnge error message, at least for me?
Thanks very much in advance,
Kind regards,
Mirko

CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
"A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
Then finally:
"Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
What could be the issue?
-Phil

I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

Getting Communication error with the external tax system(VERTEX_MS0018)

Hi All,
I am a new SAP HCM self learner. I am practicing it on company's sandbox system. When I am trying to create a company and saving the address, it is returning Communication error with the external tax system(VERTEX_MS0018). I have already tried to solve is issue by going thru previous related to same issue like
Communication error with the external tax system (VERTEX_MS0018) ...Urgent
but coudn't solve the issue.
Please help. Is this issue coming as I am using a training environment? any alternate approach?

Hi Ravi,
To disable the connection to Vertex:
Goto tcode SPRO > Cross Application Components > Transaction Tax Engine >
Technical Settings> Define External Tax System
Here an RFC would be defined. Remove it and try again.
Also in SPRO > Cross Application Components > Tax Determination based on Jurisdiction Codes > External Tax Jurisdiction > Activate External Tax Jurisdiction.
Remove the entry 'V' here.

Srikishan

Communication error with the external tax system(vertex_ms0018)

Hi All
I have installed ECC6 IDES S/W on my PC. I have activated SAP Insurance module (FS-CD). When I try to create business partner using FPP1 with US address, It is throwing error as follows:
"communication error with the external tax system(vertex_ms0018)"
I dont want to use any external Tax system like Vertex etc. because I am not calculating any taxes.
I gave correct US address with valid ZIP etc. but no use.
Please help me if any one of you has idea. How to overcome this error. How to deactivate connection to external tax system.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri,
I've notice that you took the 'V' from the configuration but you left the RFC destination.
Clearly the RFC destination is not working thus the reason you get the error (in your case, your server can't determine a valid IP address for the host iwdf8334.wdf.sap.corp).
To sort out the problem you got I can think of at least two ways:
1. Get the RFC connection working (get the correct setup for it) using transaction SM59
2. Or if you don't really need the external tax calculations, remove the RFC configuration from TAXUJ under Assign RFC Destination to Country on the Cross-Application SPRO entry.
3. You can always add TAXUS to transaction OBBG if you require it (as it comes out of the box).
This should fix the problem you are having but I'm assuming you don't need the external tax calculations.
If you do, just fix the connection using SM59 (you may want to ask for help from your Basis team if you don't know how to do it).
Cheers

Communication error with Epson Stylus C63 with Airport Express

I have a brandnew iMac running 10.5.2. Set up my Airport Express and got the wifi to work in the house. Now I am dealing with remote printing. Printer is plugged into the port on the Airport Express, I see it in the Printer tab of Aiport Utility, I see it in the printer dialogue... but whenever I print I get "communication error with printer". I have unplugged the Airport Express, restarted computers, to no avail.
What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for any tips.
-Joanna

I solved this problem! After lots of searching I ended up at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5692363 Printer setup utility in Leopard which gave the tip to reset the printing system... I did, and then somehow the Epson printer showed up as a Bonjour printer (which I had tried to do in the Airport utility but it would not let me because the name was too short or something strange like that). PageSender Fax showed up also and I just printed a document remotely...
Hope this helps someone else.

Communication Error with Base Station

I've been trying to connect my stereo system to the Power Mac using Airport Express. I had the Airport working fine as an extender but have moved and no longer need the extender function. In trying to convert it to a client on the network for streaming music to the stereo, it tells me there is a communication error with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Both the network and ITunes see the new client but when I try to connect from ITunes, I get the beach ball. When I try to configure from Airport Setup is when I get the communication error. I've done a factory reset but still get the same problem. Any advice? Thanks.

it finally worked after 20 tries--thanks anyway

Playback and Render Errors - communication error with child process failed

Tried a reinstall, does not fix the issue, will get the gray screen with text: communication error with child process failed
This happens during playback (About 30% of the frames or so) as well as when rendering an output.
On PC.

So I updated my nvidea drivers to the latest and greatest (GeForce 327.23). I also reinstalled SpeedGrade CC (which is quite the pain, btw! why can't we keep a local .exe file? Have to download every time you want to resintall ... even if only ten minutes apart!)
Still the issue seems to persist.

A communication error with disc drive

A communication error with disc drive and burn folder on macbook will not let me burn discs. Is this a program error kind of thing or just parts problems?
White Macbook using OS 10.6.8

There is a chance that the optical drive &/or its cable have failed
so a replacement, perhaps in the form of a third-party quality drive
may be in order. The Apple USB Superdrive does not directly work
with older computers that have internal optical drives; but there are
good ones by other makers, owners of older MacBook portables use.
{There may also be a Console error message failure-related code.}
Or see about the ifixit guide to repair that model MacBook & a
replacement part from OWC, to survey efforts & costs to DIY.
Good luck & happy computing!

IChat AV communication error with MacBook

I've been reading through the posts on this topic. I have been doing video chat with mac mini (intel) and an iSight camera with no problems whatsoever. However, when I disconnect my mac mini and plug the ethernet cable into my macbook however, I cannot start an ichat. I get a communication error and then a message that says that the video chat failed to start because I did not respond.
I tried several different quicktime connection speed settings, but the same thing happens.
The same thing happens when using the macbook on an airmac mini wireless network. The mac mini works fine; however, the macbook has the same problem as above.
Please help!

Hi Phillip,
The Surfboard you have is not listed on the Port Forward site.
There is howerver a Buffalo BBR 4MG which maybe similar.
The pics they have are mostly in Chinese though.
Ok.
So in the Network TCP/IP tab it will list the "router" IP
Type this into a web browser.
It will probably ask you for a User ID and password.
This is going to be a guesstimate at this point.
Check all the other Motorola items on the Port Forward site (then the iChat page) to find out the varients that can be tried.
When you gian access then we will need to know if it has UPnP or is stucj with Port Forwarding. It would also be useful to know if it can be changed to Bridge mode.
An Airport device can be made to be just an Access Point where it does not do any routing. Do you know if the Buffalo can do this ?
(We are trying to avoid two lots of DHCP and two lots of NAT (used with Port Forwarding) )

I have troubleshooted through HP without any luck. The printer is online and I have no issues printing or scanning. I am able to digitally fax from two other systems that are also running Windows 8.1. I have also disabled the anti-virus and firewall, and this did not help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bob

And on HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One.
I've got mine connected to the network on Ethernet - figured that would be less problematic than wifi - and my MacPro can see everything about the printer, just not print to it. This includes the C7280's built-in webserver which - like alot of SOHO routers - gives you a web-based interface to the printer's configuration and status. Everything on that page looks right-on, but no printing.
The printer's copy and fax functions work, and I can even scan images and save them across the network onto my machine, so the printer is already interoperating with the network to a high degree, just not printing.
Like alot of people, I bypassed the HP driver CD and downloaded a fresh software package yesterday from HP's site (200MB+, ***?), which is what I used to configure my system. As far as I could tell, there appear to be no firmware updates available for this printer. MacOS "Software Update" doesn't offer any printer driver updates - I'll try the posted link to Apple's site next.

Communication Error with PIC µC through RS232.
