[foxboro] Number of ECBs limitation question


Howdy all,

At the Invensys Showcase, I inquired about whether the number-of-ECBs
limitation in CPs (up to the 40) was still present in thte CP60, and I was
told no.  (and there was much rejoicing... :)

However, I was perusing the I/O Gate docs today (for I/A release 6.4), and
came across this blurb:

"System Management (SYMDH/SYSMON) does not support the configuration of
more than 128 Level 2 ECBs."

Anyone know what the real story is?  Can I put more than 128 ECBs (e.g.,
for HART smart transmitters plus the normal contingent for FBMs and the
like) in a CP60?  Is SysMon going to choke on it?  Or are the FBM ECBs in
fact "Level 2", the transmitter ECBs are children of those (Level 3?), and
the only limitation would be 128 FBMs?

Thanks,
