I get the following error the first time I try to launch the launch.

Process[dynamixel_manager-1]: started with pid [2678]

Then I try to launch the launch again and I get the following error

If it is launching the launcher again, I get randomly one of the errors from the start.

My launch is as follows:

<launch>
    <node name="dynamixel_manager" pkg="dynamixel_controllers" type="controller_manager.py" required="true" output="screen">
        <rosparam>
            namespace: dxl_manager
            serial_ports:
                pan_tilt_port:
                    port_name: "/dev/ttyUSB0"
                    baud_rate: 57142
                    min_motor_id: 1
                    max_motor_id: 9
                    update_rate: 20
        </rosparam>
    </node>
</launch>

I have 5 motors MX-106 and 3 motors MX-28. It has been revised baud_rate (57142) with dynamixel software (ROBOPLUS) in Windows, and not have any ID and I repeated from 1 to 8 ID.

They are using the ROS-HYDRO and :
