This may not be a software issue but we have seen it 5 or 6 times in the last 2 months on the simulator. We have never noticed this issue on previous systems running version 4, 6, or 7 software. We were attributing the disconnects to starting and stopping the Esscor model and associated IC's but one has to wonder???

I used to associate the problem with power outages (our plant-wide maintenance shutdown is next month). But, I cannot say whether the problem was caused by the power outage or whether the problem was detected by the enhanced awareness of the operators after a power outage. For me, the problem has been very intermittent. A better description is "rare". I have only seen the problem 5 or 6 times in 15 years. So, it is difficult to establish a pattern. Perhaps it happens more frequently in 8.4 software...
