Issue:
It has been discovered that Varia panels on 2.13.16 cause a double ONLINE event with Netlinx processors. (The ONLINE portion of a DATA_EVENT will trigger twice). In most circumstances this will not be an issue but there is a workaround.
Solution:
Put a wait in the ONLINE event which allows the first trigger to be ignored.
An example of the code can be seen below. The example will simply delay the online event so only a single event is seen.You could play with the delay of 5 seconds, it worked at 3 seconds also. If you have multiple panels, you will need a separate DATA_EVENT and a unique name for each wait.
DATA_EVENT[dvTP1]
{
ONLINE:
{
CANCEL_WAIT 'VARIA WAIT 1'
WAIT 50 'VARIA WAIT 1'
{
//PLACE ONLINE EVENT CODE HERE
}
}
}
