Very slow reading / writing + timeout errors with WEINZIERL BAOS 771

Hi,


I've been using a temporary JUNG IPS 100 REG IP interface on bOS, and it was working fine.


But I had to change that temporary IP interface for a BAOS 771 from WEINZIERL.


As you may know, BAOS actually let's you use IP tunneling for programming / visualization, and also to use it as Bus Access Object Server, for prototyping, third party integration etc.


As soon as I started using the BAOS with bOS, I've noticed that bOS is extremely slow reading / writing.


In fact, when the KNX connection becomes true, bOS tries to read every feedback and it shows "No response to read from..." in every address. While this happens, I can see on ETS bOS trying to read the feedbacks almost with a 2 to 3 second delay between them.


If I run a scene for example, it tries to execute the scene at the same very slow speed, 2 to 3 seconds in every group address of the scene.


If using the BAOS on ETS for programming, it works at a "regular" read / write speed.


If using the BAOS with the internal DPT server, it works fast at reading / writing.


If I use it on bOS and click in two or three lights very quick for example, it turns the first one, 2 to 3 seconds and turns the next one, and so one.


I know that BAOS 771 is "old" and with a 10BaseT ethernet connection, but it's a very strange behavior.


Ant tips on that?

Hi Yannick,

It's a firmware problem on older versions of the BAOS 771.

Contact Weinzierl support, and tell them the numbers on the back of the module. They will ask you to send them the module, and they will update the BAOS free of charge.

Best regards

Just to give you more details, here's the response from Weinzierl when I contacted them:

"There is a firmware issue with older BAOS 771 and newer falcon driver (e.g. ETS5), I guess the bOS is using this driver. There is a firmware upgrade for this, but it only can be done by us. If you want an upgrade, please send the devices to the address written in my e-mail signature. As soon as we receive the devices we will send you an complaint confirmation with delivery date of the upgraded devices."

So that's it, you can contact them, as they're aware of the issue on older BAOS 771.

After the firmware update, the BAOS is running perfectly.

Best regards
