Hi Doug,
Good idea! I'll start checking the P2P relations and build local copies 
where needed.

Thanks & Rgds,

Dirk

Re: [foxboro] system error in sequences






Dirk,

A way to minimize the problem would be to build copies of this block
parameter for each external CP that requires access.  Best case would be 
to
build copies local to each CP to eliminate the one shot peer-to-peer 
access.
Have all of the sequences in a particular CP read their own local copy.
This approach should eliminate the access collisions and also cut down on
network traffic.

Hi Doug,
That could well be the case, this pressure xmttr is used by a lot of ind's 

and calc's. In that case it'll be difficult to solve this probably, other 
than extending the exception to sys-error or exception to manual I guess. 
I'll do some more testing on it.

Thanks

Dirk

Re: [foxboro] system error in sequences

Here's another possible reason for the intermittent sequence errors:  If
multiple sequences are trying to access the same parameter from different
CPs, they can collide every now and then and cause an access error.  This
can happen with a read or a write, since even a read function appears to
temporarily "secure" the parameter.  It's generally not a problem if
multiple sequences in the same CP access the same parameter since they
really can't execute simultaneously.  But, no guarantees peer-to-peer.
