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. ________________________________________________________________________ FAQ180 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 -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ajit.S.Kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 07:12 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 Regards Ajit kumar Saudi aramco Mob. Refinery.
