Bret,
There can't be a difference between the two readings.  Although the source 
of RI01 may have changed while the block is being processed, the block 
only reads this value once before processing all the steps.

Well, for my two cents...
Yes, I suppose if your upstream block and/or our process is fast enough =
there could be different values between those two reads..
You could either adjust your period and phasing on the two blocks or =
better yet I think would be to just read the value you now have=20
going to RI01 to a memory location the pull that value into your =
sequence form the memory location with a LAC Mxx command.
