Foxboro recommends no more than one block per CP. Although this can get a
little pricey, it keeps the "D" in DCS.
No really, I think there are some CP sizing spreadsheets on the customer
support web site.
It's easy enough to look at the "LTRBUG"_STA:STATION information either
with select or using omget to periodically grab a snapshot. Some of the key
indicators are
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.IOLOAD % of time scanning the physical I/O subsystem
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.BPLOAD % of time processing blocks
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.SQLOAD % of time processing sequence code
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.CPLOAD Total of above
You probably want to keep the CPLOAD < 80% although anything < 90 seems to
work pretty well on CP40s and CP60s, YMMV.
The object manager also places a load on the CP
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.OML_DAV obeject manager load
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.IDLE_TM % of time doing nothing (kind of)
Make sure that there aren't too many overruns.
"LTRBUG"_STA:STATION.CUMOVR Total of number of CP overruns since last reset
Look to make sure that everything is phased well and you don't have periods
and phases that fall together occasionally making for a big spike in CP
activity.
I think that would do it.

David
