It appears that your errors are 100 Series FBM related since FCM10E are
fine while DCM10E and FBI10E are not.
Check your terminations. With your setup there may be several
terminations in a fieldbus both resistor and bnc. Check carefully.

As to the counters;
The GCS website knowledgebase has two FAQ's when you query on PIOEFT.

FAQ
What are PIOEFT and PIOEGB counters? What do they convey, and how can
they be monitored?
March 28, 2008
  
Question
What are PIOEFT and PIOEGB counters? What do they convey, and how can
they be monitored?

Answer
A PIOEFT counter (or FT Mismatch) keeps track of the number of PIO input
mismatches on the Fieldbus. 
  
This occurs if the Primary and the Shadow CPs receive different data
from the FBMs. A non-zero number indicates possible hardware problems:
with one of the two CP modules or the X bus connection, or bad FBM
module, or bad FCM module, or cable, or terminator. PIOEGB (or FBM State
Change) keeps track of the number of good to bad FBM status transitions.


It is common for this counter to be non zero during system startup and
checkout, but it should not increment during stable system operation.
This counter can increment prior to FBM going offline/online messages in
System Monitor. If this counter increases over time, the System should
be monitored for FBM or Fieldbus problems. 

Possible fieldbus problems are: noise, old EEPROM revision, old hardware
revision, bad cables, bad connectors, bad terminators or bad terminating
resistors. 

For more information on both counters, refer to document B0193AX (vol 3)
Integrated Control Block and Aim for the section about Station Block
Parameters.

Solution 235
How do I reset error counters in the CP Station Block from the command
line?
February 21, 2008
 
Problem Description

There are several counters in the Control Processor Station Blocks that
can be reset from the Station Block Default Display. How do I use the
command line to reset counters?

The parameters are retrieved using:

omget LTRBUG_STA:STATION.OMOVRN

omget LTRBUG_STA:STATION.CUMOVR

omget LTRBUG_STA:STATION.PIOEGB, also PIOEFT and PIOE1R


Fix/Resolution
These counters are reset to zero by by setting the respective reset
boolean parameter to True:

Use these commands:

omset -b T LTRBUG_STA:STATION.RSOMOV

omset -b T LTRBUG_STA:STATION.RESOVR

omset -b T LTRBUG_STA:STATION.PIORST

Subject: [foxboro] PIO Bus access error on "A" or "B"

Dear Experts,
We are facing few problems with our CP 30 ,40,60s ...It keeps failing
with 
PIO Bus access error on "A" or "B". After reboot it works fine for
couple 
of days / months and fails again.
Replacement of CP is still the same. No Improvement. Grounding has been 
checked and ferrite installed for CP60. Noticed there is no problem of 
repeated failure of CP60 with FCM10E, but DCM10E and FBI10E the failure 
are seen escalating.
Secondly , Could anybody let me know why the Compound / Block and OB 
Overruns are very high, and I would like to know what's 
PIOE1R,PIOEFT,PIOEGB ..Is there a good manual where I could get the 
information and Can these counters be reset.
Thanks in advance
