Invalid MMP Addresses on Generic MMP Page May Cause I/O Server Disconnect

Applies To:

Firmware for:

GRV-EPIC-PR1
GRV-R7-MM1001-10

Versions Affected:

GRV-EPIC-PR1: All versions prior to 3.0.0
GRV-R7-MM1001-10: All versions prior to 3.0.0

Resolved In Version:

GRV-EPIC-PR1: 3.0.0
GRV-R7-MM1001-10: 3.0.0

Symptoms:

If you have the Generic MMP page reading invalid MMP addresses while any of the following are happening, groov Manage disconnects from the I/O server:

Other browser tabs are showing groov Manage I/O pages (for example, the Modules page).
Running Node-RED flows that use groov I/O nodes.

Here are a couple of examples of how this might happen:

Example 1 - groov EPIC (GRV-EPIC-PR1)

In a browser tab, login into your GRV-EPIC-PR1 with an administrator account.
Click I/O > Tools > Generic MMP.
Enter 0x0001234 for the address, 32-bit Integer for the data type, and 200 for the length. All the values will change to "N/A" (or "Invalid Address" in 2.1 and later).
Open a second browser tab and go to an I/O page, like a Module page that shows the list of channels.
After a few seconds, you will see an "I/O Offline" warning on the top of the screen.

Example 2 - groov RIO (GRV-R7-MM1001-10)

Open two browser tabs, and in both tabs, login into the same GRV-R7-MM1001-10 with an administrator account.
In one tab, set up 1 or more Node-RED groov I/O input nodes scanning an analog input channel.
In the other browser tab, go to the groov Manage Generic MMP page (from the Home page, click I/O Tools > Generic MMP).
Enter 0x0F210000 for the address and select Float for the data type.
Go back to the Node-RED tab and notice that the debug panel is filling with the following error: "Bad API key or server error. HTTP response error : 500"

Workaround:

Double-check MMP addresses before using them.
