[foxboro] ATS and nodebus loading

Hello all,

Does anyone know how much data I can pass through an ATS onto the 
nodebus before encountering problems.  In preparation for an upcoming 
outage we are sending many (several hundred) values from a new FCP270 
through an ATS to a CP40 on the old nodebus side.  Everything worked 
fine until last week. Each week we are passing more data through the 
ATS.  Now we are encountering occasional (3 times in the last week) 
smurf-outs on all of the operator displays of data coming from the 
old CPs.   So it is like this, I think.  FCP270 AIN (mesh side)-> OLD 
CP40  AIN(nodebus side) -> New Displays (mesh side).  This is making 
for a LOT of remote connections in the old CPs and everything gets 
passed through the ATS twice.  I'm guessing the nodebus occasionally 
gets swamped.  It's all temporary in an effort to move everything to 
the mesh, but I need to roll another 50-100 points like this (real 
world wiring issues) for the next two weeks without a 
catastrophe.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
David
