Hey Ken.

You guys dried out yet?

Usually a slow response is due to the annunciator trying to do an almack on
a non-existant, or non alarming block.  It times out.  If you have a display
and are trying to do a page ack, you probably have configuration issues
there.  If the response is slow, that is what I would look for first.

Regards,
David

Subject: [foxboro] Annunciator Keyboard Slow Response

List,



We are installing an annunciator keyboard for the first time and I have a
question related to the slow response time on opening a configured display.



On a few of the buttons, we have configured numerous STATE and REALM alarms
to light the LED and acknowledge the alarm.  In one particular case, it
takes almost 6 minutes to open the designated display.  On the button where
only two alarms are configured, it takes about 6 seconds.



Is there any way to speed this up or is this just a limitation based on the
running scripts?  Seems kind of useless this way.



Any advice would be appreciated.
