Recieves Timeout Errors and Limit reached errors sporadically with my motor

[incontinence]

Hi,
  I am using a motor to conduct certain experiments. It has, however, returned timeout errors, specifically "-70136 (NIMC_eventTimeoutError) A wait operation timed out or an read function timed out". This error also occurs frequently in conjunction with an "Limit reached on axis" error even though the motor is well within the limits prescribed. The limit error has been solved for the most part by inhouse programming. However, the time out error occurs frequently even with an increase in the timeout variable in the code. It should be noted that one of the A/P axis is jammed and can only be changed by hand.

Do you have any solutions that can prevent further delays?

Hello Kern,

The error -70136 is a timeout error. What is the motor drive that you are using? Have you updated the firmware and NI-Motion?

You could try to increase the timeout value for the Check/Wait move .flx to avoid this error.
Do you get this error permanently now? Otherwise it could be that you defined a timeout value that is reached very seldom, and that's why you only get this error now.
