[foxboro] Poor harried engineer (Tokyo) vs. the Integrator 30 (Godzilla)


Yep, it's me again.... :)

I'm trying to optimize the polling on one of our Integrator 30s by
coalescing ABSCAN blocks.  To try and make this as painless as possible, I
am creating a new ABSCAN block, cutting all the AINs, etc. over to it, then
deleting the old ABSCAN blocks that were previously scanning the particular
memory range of interest.

I have but one problem: when I create the new ABSCAN block, it comes up OK
on everything, but all the registers read 0.  The old ABSCAN blocks do not
read 0, nor does my RSLinx data monitor I'm running on a nearby PC.

I've stopped and started the compound containing the new ABSCAN block.  I
don't want to delete/undelete the ECB15 right now because the plant is
running, but I will at some later opportune time if I can't fix this.

Any ideas? Rational explanations?
