Re: [foxboro] FBM224 and ProSoft modules

Concerning FBM224 Scan rate and Phasing:

Related to item 2 of Corey's comments, does anyone know how to phase out 
the scanning?  As mentioned, you can set the frequency (0.5 sec, 1 sec, 
2 sec, etc.), but when we set up our FBM224 last summer we could find no 
way to phase the scanning.  So, even with longer frequencies, everything 
appears to happen at phase 0, as viewed on the activity lights. 

Which brings up another question:  other than activity lights, does 
anyone know how to view the communication loading from the FBM224 to the 
PLC's?  The CP60 station block does not help (like the Int30 station 
block did).

thanks,
