The cause of this type of error, for the most part, must be investigated on a per-case basis. Customer is advised to contact OPAL-RT "Support" department while providing more information to further investigate the error. This information can be contained in the crash log of the "Controller.exe" or "RT_LAB.exe" processes. Please refer to the following KB for further details on how to obtain a crash log (also referred to as "crash dump"): https://kmpazure.opal-rt.com/index.php?/previewArticle/AA-01574. As being said, the following is a non-exhaustive list of best practices and advice to try and reduce the occurrence of such "Controller has stopped working" error: Best practices: 1.- Allow all RT-LAB processes through the PC Firewall; lower the user account control settings or execute RT-LAB processes as administrator 2.- Withing the RTLAB interface avoid multiple open projects since each additional open project creates an executable instance that can generate errors. Closed any projects that are not being used 3.- Keep only one model in every project 4.- Multiple installations of RT-LAB may interfere with the opaldloader.exe. Whenever possible keep only one RT-LAB version installed. 5.- Try and have installed the latest available RT-LAB version. and compounds possible issues 6.- If necessary try and create a new workspace and clear the directory of opal-rt files and re-input all necessary settings in a fresh workspace and project There are also some known general reasons that may trigger this type of error: Potential causes of the error: a) Using RT-LAL GUI and python scripts at the same time b) Using deprecated API functions c) Using not up-to-date versions of RT-LAB d) The SNAPSHOT function of RT-LAB (during model loading) can trigger this error. In that case, the "SNAPSHOT" environment variable with the value "OFF" can be declared in the model/ project that generates the error.
