This was supposed to work as a way to keep different workstations from
operating the same controller/block simultaneously. You set the "W" by clicking
on the "LOCK" button on the detail display, and whichever FoxView clicked the
"LOCK" button gets to operate that controller/block, and no other FoxView can.
Most people, if not everyone, continued to use environments and access classes
to keep controllers/blocks from being operated simultaneously, but Foxboro
never removed the functionality.
To fix it, you need to figure out which FoxView clicked on "LOCK" and then
click on "UNLOCK" on the detail display for that block on that FoxView. The
LOCKID parameter of the controller/block should show the LETTERBUG:DEVNAME
where LETTERBUG is the 6-character letterbug of the workstation and DEVNAME is
the 1 to 6 character logical device name of the task, in this case the FoxView
name, I think (I can't test it at the moment). If you upload the block
parameters in your configurator of choice, it should overwrite whatever is
stored in LOCKID with the current value, or we can hope it does. Then you can
go to that FoxView and click on "UNLOCK".

Subject: Re: [foxboro] The Big "W"
Oh Mighty List,
I have a PIDA whose template shows a white "W" in the nameplate area. While
the controller still seems to work, I can only change the A/M and L/R on one
screen of one WP, even though there are 4 screens on that particular WP and
other nearby WPs that used to work properly before the W appeared. The W
appears even on the one screen that works. In checking into the W on the PIDA
detail graphic, it looks like it is associated with a VIS7_WPLCK object which
is part of a status bar that I can't edit. When I look at a somewhat custom
PIDA template, the W object is set to appear based on B12 of the BLKSTA - and
the documentation says it is a 'workstation lock'.
What I can't figure out is what caused this to appear and how it can be
defeated/corrected. Further, if it is a workstation lock, why does only one
screen still work on one workstation (and it is not the primary screen,
incidentally)? Any enlightenment? By the way, it only appears on one control
block - all others I have checked are clear. Any quick response is gratefully
appreciated.
