Diane,
If the need for this block info is intermittant or if a low refresh rate is
ok, you can build a shell script on node1 to remotely execute a script on
the node2 to request the block info (via omget or a historian request),
parse out the info needed, and then do an omset (on node1) to write this
info into a local node1 compound. This can be run off a display button if
updates are only needed on demand, or scheduled via crontab (ie run every
10 minutes) if updates are not needed too often. For continuous real time
info, Frits's solution looks better.

Where I am working the plant has 2 nodes (only connected by 2nd ethernet
port). These plant are each very different from the other, but the
Operators
have asked if they could see 2 blocks from the other node. Does anyone know
if there is a way to "write" this info. to the other node via ethernet,
i.e., without having to connect the 2 via Carrierband LAN or COMM?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might lend.
