Yeah, we know, and fortunately we already had everything setup to
alias bits to a set of CINs. We did this primarily for the ability
to document what a bit actually was, and the alarming was a
bonus. So this is nothing but a fairly minor annoyance at this
point. But if I had a lot of displays connected to MCINs and had to
go to PAKINs on a conversion from an AB Gateway to the new FBM232
this becomes a real hassle. It would cost to either duplicate blocks
(licensing and sizing), or re-do displays using bit states with the
bitmask. It's another of the upgrade gotcha's that don't exactly
reward customer loyalty.
Regards,
David
