Re: [foxboro] PIO Bus access error on "A" or "B"

One more thing - what software or quick fix level are you running in
your CP60s?  There were some very important QFs that addressed
problems with the CP60 image - the one that fixed many of my CP60 PIO
Bus errors corrected deficiencies in the ladder logic handling.  Are
you running ladder logic (PLB blocks) in any of your problem CP60s?

I see now you are using FBI10E and DCM10E so you have some remote
fieldbus.  I commonly see local fieldbus terminators used in addition
to FBI or FBI10E - this results in over biasing the fieldbus segment
and can make the fieldbus more susceptible to noise.

Check carefully all your wiring and terminations as Russ has noted.
In my experience the 10base2 (Thinnet) cabling is particularly
sensitive.  Terminators can be bad, crimp connectors can be faulty or
intermittent, and you should carefully follow the guidelines to avoid
ground loops in the CP60 cabling systems - follow carefully the
guidelines for isolated DIN rail with single connection to ground.  Be
careful to use metric crimp connectors with metric cable or Imperial
connectors with Imperial cable if making 10base2 cables up on-site,
mixing metric with imperial can lead to cables that appear OK but with
intermittent performance.
