Issue
Infinity controller error: Type not valid for this IO channel
Product Line
Andover Continuum
Environment
Continuum Cyberstation
Cause
ElecType mismatch between what is in the database and the field controller hardware.
An example of this problem would be offline creating a voltage output on a DO-4. It will save to the DB since it is a valid InfinityOutput configuration. Although when attempting to do a Send to Controller the controller knows that point type is not valid on the specific IOU module hardware.
This can also happen when an object is imported into Continuum because the database error checking is less strict than when creating the object online.
Resolution
- Go into offline editing
- Check the point configuration
- If it does not match the field hardware, then correct it, save it, go to online mode and reload.
