Re: [foxboro] CMP:BLK

You can turn off processing or inhibit alarms at the compound level. 
Judicious choice of block grouping in compounds may enable you to take 
advantage of these capabilities.
I have been told that the compound and block lists are scanned in a linear 
fashion to see if they are slated for processing in a particular BPC.  You 
might save some scanning of some blocks by phasing the compounds, as 
blocks in a compound are skipped if that compound is not scheduled for 
execution in a particular BPC.  In my experience, though, this makes block 
configuration too inflexible; we set all the compounds to period 1, phase 
0 except in certain situations (e.g., in some gateways where the compound 
scheduling can have an effect on scanning frequency of the foreigh 
device).  If we come close to overloading a CP, we get a bigger one or 
split it up.

[foxboro] CMP:BLK






We have started to program a new CP60.
My question, is there a limit to the number of compounds?
Is it better to have few cmp with lots of blks, or lots of cmps each
with a few blks?
