Re: [foxboro] Reduce IFL's for FBM

We're using PLB's, cause it's the easiest way to configure Interlocks, 
unfortunately the number of IFL's also limit the interlocking, so we''re 
also using seq/calc etc for interlocking. The disadvantage of using seq code 
interlocking is that the blocks can still be activated via select. With PLB 
interlocks, the blocks cannot be operated from the select unless all 
interlocks are OK.
For Motor and valve control we use GDEV's and PLB's, for valves we use 2 
cin's/ofl's for open/close feedback and 1 CO for open and close. For motors 
we're only using the running cin/ofl and 1 CO. The ofl's are connected to 
the DEVLM's of the GDEV. STAIND is used to show status on screen
We can attach 8 motors to an FBM(2)41 or 42 card, or 4 valves. The number of 
IFL is not really the limit here, but there are only 8 Co's on a FBM41/42. 
Using FBM242 you would have 16 Co's

I'll send Daniel an example offlist.
