General Return Values

MPIMessageOK
The operation was successful. This message code is returned by a method when the operation completed successfully. If a message code other than MPIMessageOK is returned by a method, then an error occurred or operation status information is being reported. Check return values from ALL method calls. The only exceptions are methods that return object handles. For example, the mpiObjectCreate(...) methods return a handle to an object.

String: Ok

MPIMessageARG_INVALID
An argument is not valid. This message code is returned by a method when one or more arguments fail an integrity check. The following integrity checks are made, depending on the argument types:
-
Pointers and addresses are not NULL.
- Memory addresses are within a valid range.
- Object maps have a valid number of members.

String: Argument invalid

MPIMessagePARAM_INVALID
A parameter is not valid. Parameters are the data inside an argument. This message code is returned by a method when one or more parameters fail an integrity check. The following integrity checks are made, depending on the parameter types:
-
Pointers and addresses in structures are not NULL.
- Memory addresses in structures are within a valid range.
- Object numbers are within a valid range.
- Values in structures are within a valid range.

String: Parameter invalid

MPIMessageHANDLE_INVALID
An object handle is not valid. This message code is returned by a method when the object handle argument is NULL. To correct this problem, create an object using an object create method. For example, to create an axis object use mpiAxisCreate(...).

String: Handle invalid

MPIMessageNO_MEMORY
Memory is not available. This message code is returned by a method when an object, thread or buffer is not created due to a memory allocation failure. All host memory allocation occurs through mpiPlatformAlloc(...). To correct this problem, check your host computer resources and remove unused components or add more memory.
NOTE: Some methods may make several memory allocations or may call other methods that allocate memory. If a memory allocation fails, the previous allocations will not be freed.

String: Host out of memory

MPIMessageOBJECT_FREED
The object has been freed. This message code is set within the object when the object is deleted. This message code is used internally. This message code is returned by an object delete method if the object has already been deleted. To prevent this problem, make sure to delete objects only one time.

String: Object freed

MPIMessageOBJECT_NOT_ENABLED
The object is not active in the controller. This message code is returned by a method if real-time data or a handshake is required between the MPI and the controller, and the specified object is not enabled in the controller. To correct this problem, use mpiControlConfigSet(...) to enable the object, by setting the object count to greater than the specified object number. For example, to enable motor objects 0 to 3, set motorCount to 4.

String: Object not enabled

MPIMessageOBJECT_NOT_FOUND
The object is not found on an object list. This message code is returned by a method when an object does not exist on the specified list or the object list does not exist. This message code can be returned from methods that insert or remove objects from a list. To correct this problem, specify an object that exists on the list or specify a different object list containing the object. To prevent object creation/deletion problems, delete objects in the reverse order they were created.

String: Object not found

MPIMessageOBJECT_ON_LIST
The object is a member of a list. This message code is returned when a method tries to add an object to a list and the object already exists on the list. It is also returned when a method tries to delete an object when the object exists on a list. For example, if an axis object is a member of a list of axis objects or an axis object is associated with a motion object, calling mpiAxisDelete(...) will return the object on list message code. To correct this problem when adding an object to a list, check to make sure the object is not already a member. To correct this problem when deleting an object, remove the object from the list and delete the parent object. To prevent object creation/deletion problems, delete objects in the reverse order they were created.

String: Object on list

MPIMessageOBJECT_IN_USE
This message is returned when an operation cannot be completed because the object is currently in use. For example, when threadDelete(…) from the apputil library attempts to delete a thread that is currently running, MPIMessageOBJECT_IN_USE will be returned. To correct this problem, make sure the object is not in use before you attempt the operation.

String: Object in use

MPIMessageTIMEOUT
The wait time has expired. This message code is returned by a method waiting for a response from the controller, a hardware resource, or a semaphore lock and the maximum wait time value expired. The library uses timeout values to prevent lock-up conditions when unexpected behavior occurs. To correct this problem, check the hardware health, power, and network connections.

String: Timeout

MPIMessageUNSUPPORTED
The software or controller does not support a feature. This message code is returned by a method if the MPI library, controller, or network device does not support a feature.

String: Unsupported

MPIMessageFATAL_ERROR
The software or hardware failed. This message code is returned by a method when an inexplicable data value is read from the controller or host memory. This message code indicates a serious problem with the host computer, memory, or controller. Contact an MEI applications engineer if you receive this message code.

String: Fatal error

MPIMessageFILE_CLOSE_ERROR
An error occurred when closing a file. This message code is returned by a method that fails to close a file. Internally, files are closed using mpiPlatformClose(...) which makes a platform specific call. File closing errors indicate a missing file, bad file, or other file system problems.

String: File close error

MPIMessageFILE_OPEN_ERROR
An error occurred when opening a file. This message code is returned by a method that fails to open a file. Internally, files are opened using mpiPlatformOpen(...) which makes a platform specific call. File opening errors indicate a missing file, bad file, or other file system problems.

String: File open error

MPIMessageFILE_READ_ERROR
An error occurred when reading from a file. This message code is returned by a method that fails to read from a file. Internally, files are read using mpiPlatformFileRead(...) which makes a platform specific call. File reading errors indicate a bad file or other file system problems.

String: File read error

MPIMessageFILE_WRITE_ERROR
An error occurred when writing to a file. This message code is returned by a method that fails to write to a file. Internally, files are written using mpiPlatformFileWrite(...) which makes a platform specific call. File writing errors indicate a bad file or other file system problems.

String: File write error

MPIMessageFILE_MISMATCH

String: Firmware file mismatch

MPIMessageASSERT_FAILURE
An assertion check internal to the library failed. This message code is used internally by the MPI. Contact MEI if you receive this message code.

String: Assertion Failure

Axis

MPIAxisMessageAXIS_INVALID

String: Axis invalid

MPIAxisMessageCOMMAND_NOT_SET
The axis command position did not get set. This message code is returned by mpiAxisCommandPositionSet(...) if the controller's command position does not match the specified value. Internally, the mpiAxisCommandPositionSet(...) method requests the controller to change the command position, waits for the controller to process the request, and reads back the controller's command position. There are several cases where the controller will calculate a new command position to replace the requested command position. For example, if motion is in progress, stopped, or if the amp enable is disabled (when the motor's disableAction is configured for command equals actual), the controller will calculate a new command position every sample. To prevent this problem, set the command position when the motion is in an IDLE state and the motor's disableAction is configured for no action. It may also indicate that the motor associated to this axis is configured to mode MPIMotorDisableActionCMD_EQ_ACT and the motor is disabled. When the motor is disabled and in the MPIMotorDisableActionCMD_EQ_ACT mode, the command position is continually set to the actual position. To set the command position, enable the motor or take the motor out of the MPIMotorDisableActionCMD_EQ_ACT mode. Alternatively, setting the origin for the motor can often perform an equivalent result in this situation, as the command position will be set to the actual position the next sample.

String: Unable to set command position

MPIAxisMessageNOT_MAPPED_TO_MS
An axis is not mapped to the motion supervisor. This message code is returned by move or event methods when there are no axes associated with a motion supervisor.

MPISynqNetMessageNODE_MAC_LAB_VERSION
The node MAC FPGA is a lab version and has not been tested or released. This message code is returned during network initialization if the runtime FPGA is not a production release. Do not ship machines with lab FPGAs! Lab FPGAs are for internal purposes only. To correct the problem, use the FPGA included in the software release package.

String: Node with a Lab version of MAC FPGA found in the network.

MPISynqNetMessageCONTROLLER_BANDWIDTH
The controller maximum foreground time is too long. This message code is returned during network initialization if the controller maximum foreground time is too close to the SynqNet packet transmit time. To correct the problem, reduce the controller sample rate or increase the TxTime.

String: Maximum foreground cycle is too long, increase TxTime or reduce controller sample rate

MPISynqNetMessagePACKET_BANDWIDTH
The packet downstream payload is too large. This message code is returned during network initialization if the controller does not have enough time to transmit the packet data. To correct the problem, reduce the controller sample rate.

String: Downstream packet payload is too large, reduce controller sample rate

MPISynqNetMessageFOREGROUND_EXCEEDS_CONTROLLER_TX_TIME
The controller maximum foreground time is too long. This message code is returned during network initialization if the controller maximum foreground time exceeds the TxTime. To correct the problem, reduce the controller sample rate or increase the TxTime.

String: Maximum foreground calculation time exceeds TxTime, increase TxTime or reduce sample rate

Thread

MPIThreadMessageTHREAD_NOT_RUNNING
The thread is not running. This message code is returned by mpiThreadPriorityGet(...) and mpiThreadPrioritySet(…) if the thread is not active. To correct the problem, start the thread.

String: Thread is not running

MPIThreadMessageTHREAD_RUNNING
The thread is running. This message code is returned by mpiThreadDelete(…) or mpiThreadStart(…) if the thread is active. To correct the problem, stop the thread.

String: Thread is currently running

MPIThreadMessageTHREAD_NOT_STARTED
The thread has not been started yet. This message code is returned by mpiThreadArgument(…), mpiThreadFunction(…), or mpiThreadStatus(…). To correct the problem, start the thread.

String: Thread has not been started

User Limit

MPIUserLimitMessageUSER_LIMIT_INVALID
The user limit number is out of range. This message code is returned by mpiUserLimitCreate(…) if the user limit number is less than zero or greater than or equal to the allocated userLimitCount on the controller. Use mpiControlConfigGet and mpiControlConfigSet(…) to allocate more objects if needed.

String: UserLimit invalid

MPIUserLimitMessageUSER_LIMIT_NOT_ENABLED
The user limit object in the controller is not enabled. This message code is returned by mpiUserLimitCreate(…) if the user limit number is less than zero or greater than or equal to the enabled userLimitCount on the controller. Use mpiControlConfigSet(…) to enable more objects if needed.

String: UserLimit not enabled
