Don't forget to set the IOMOPT to 0 so that the CIN block uses .IN instead of an FBM. If left at the default value of 1 (and no IOMID), the block will show up undefined.

Hope this helps Raul Iregui Invensys Systems Canada Inc. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Troy L Brazell Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 5:57 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] PAKIN to Alarm Gentlemen, I am trying to configure alarms from a PAKIN block. Have tried several different types of blocks with no success. Ideally would like to take the BIT to a CIN block, but does not look like it will work. Any ideas on an easy, down and dirty way to grab one BIT from a PAKIN to set an alarm. Thanks in advance, Troy L.
