Hi!

I have made a new EIO.cfg file but i have made it from the old one and when i load it and restart the robot i get the message “error startup synchronize -1” but i cant see anything wrong with the new EIO.

The system is S4cPlus

What is the difference between your new eio.cfg and old eio.cfg? What did you do,(ex: add an input or output)? Have you done any physical connections in the controller?
