Re: [foxboro] Downloading FBM224

I have done it once.  It did not trigger my 10-second watchdog timeout, 
but I wasn't actually looking at points to see if and for how long they 
smurfed.


Too bad you didn't ask this a week ago - we had a partial plant outage 
that would have allowed me to try this.

[foxboro] Downloading FBM224






Hey everyone,

I have an FBM 224 that is has PORT -1 connected to a PLC via MODBUS
module,  PORT -2 was never configured. Now I will need to configure
it.  This will require me to download the FBM 224.  What does this do
to the port that is running, and how long (if at all) are
communications interrupted?

The book states B0400FK - Rev B page 112
"The port configuration file for the ECB200 may be downloaded (DB
Download Equipment Change Action) at any time that the FBM is on
line.  The FBM224 examines the file for configuration changes, and
apply the changes without disturbing those ports whose configuration
has not been changed,"

OK, can anyone VERIFY that?

Any other gotchas?


Regards,
David
