Ajit, What do you have configured as the Location3 in PI for SUL_RCV_25:92XA207A.CIN? I can't tell if you have a 2 configured and it wants a 5, or the other way around. I'm not sure what a 2 is. I don't have my documentation handy. Most CIN blocks are 5 in PI. On SUL_RCV_15:92XA104A.CIN, it looks like this block doesn't exist in I/A. You might have a typo there, or it is in another compound. Double-check that the block exists in that compound and that it is looks normal on the detail display.

Re: [foxboro] Few Tags not updating in PI Lowell, Timothy to: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 04/02/2011 09:52 PM Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Please respond to foxboro Ajit, Your first step would be to check foxspy (/opt/fox/ais/bin/foxspy or d:\opt\aim\bin\foxspy). You should know which FoxAPI set the tags are in by the Location2 parameter in the PI configuration. You can find this list in FoxAPI by invoking foxspy and typing in 913 at the first prompt, and then 1. The list name will be PILISTF(Location1)L(Location2). Type the number of that set (not the Location2 number, but the FoxAPI set number) at the foxspy prompt, and you will see the list of points in that set. If the list doesn't contain the points you think it should, then PI is not creating the points for some reason. The usual reason is a typo in the InstrumentTag parameter, but there could be lots of reasons. If the point is there in the list, the value should be 0 or 1, and the status should end in 23. Anything else is an error of some sort. The next step is to check the pi log file in /opt/piapi/dat/pimesslogfile or c:\program files\pipc\dat\pipc.log. Search in that file for one of the points that isn't updating, and it should give you some clue as to what is happening. You should also make sure that the Location3 value is 5, for a digital point. That has gotten me a few times when I was copying a bunch of analog points to create some digitals and forgot to change the Location5 value.
