Hi Scott, No overruns.

B0193AX – Rev AE 117. Station Block OMOVRN Object Manager Over Run is a long that represents the number of times the OM Scanner task has overrun since the station was rebooted or the counter was reset. OM Scanner overruns can occur in the following cases: ♦ Communications to a station are disconnected. This typically manifests itself by OM Scanner overruns occurring at one minute intervals. ♦ A large number of simultaneous display requests from multiple WPs. ♦ Simple overload of the OM Scanner task by attempting to connect to many other stations at the current station BPC. This can be corrected by reducing the number of stations receiving data from this CP or by reducing the number of concurrent applications. ♦ Block processing overload does not leave enough time for the OM Scanner to complete processing. ♦ Overload of the OM Scanner by Sequence Logic that contains too many full pathname references. OMOVRN is shown on the OM Scanner Loading Overlay in the OM SCANNER OVERRUNS.

I'll check with them. If I remember correctly we had to activate the button also before we implemented Foxray, but I could be wrong.

I have noticed that FoxRay likes to deactivate this !

We're monitoring the station block parameters for one of our ZCP270's, because the total memory is low (1100000) and the OMSCAN is high (12%). (see 2.) Doing this I noticed that both in DCS and (off course) in PI these station block values were stale for longer periods. If I check the foxselect station block display and click the inactive button to active, the values start updating. Yet if you check the display again later the updating is back to inactive. Why doesn't it remain active, and do we get a correct trend this way? It looks like the trends are not reliable because of this active/inactive behavior? 2. We're experiencing problems with MAXMEM dropping below the CSIZE so we cannot compile certain sequences anymore. (CP reboot solves this very temporarily, but we're restricted to plant maintenance shutdowns to do this.) Also sometimes sequences fail (handled by exception handlers) on external links. I know the use of external links is discouraged, but in the other CP's it works fine and it's not easy to correct this on +- 1000IND's. The sequence then generates a sys error > 3000. Normally we're supposed to exit the sequence in that case, but because it happens regularly we're adjusting the exception handlers to allow some retries, also in case of this type of error. We've had this problem for the last 2 years, all this time we were told it was due to CSPACE/CSIZE problems and we needed to correct the CSPACE settings. Preventive maintenance twice a year never reveiled anything out of the ordinary. Although OMSCAN was high, it was never mentioned this could be a problem. It's clear now that CSPACE/CSIZE is not the cause. What's been done so far: Adjust all of the CPACE sizes, checked by Invensys and approved. Installed latest CP images. 90035 Rebooted CP's (both simultaneously, primary and shadow) Slowed down scan rate for OSISOFT PI to 2 seconds and cdtlay from 50 to 200. Stopped foxray and other 3rd party services to see if it made any difference . Removed restore_index.dat, and rebooted the boothost. None of these actions showed any difference in OMSCAN load. During our last maintenance shutdown I monitored the OMSCAN and although there was no production and none of the sequences were active the OMSCAN was still high, the only difference was that in normal operation the OMSCAN varies a lot, and during shutdown it was more or less stable. According to Invensys OMSCAN is the cause of our problems and we need to find the reason why OMSCAN is too high. Anyone have any idea's?
