CP40 malfunction

2001-09-26 Thread Ghodhbani, Hafedh

Gents,
I notice a strange malfunction that concerns some of my CP40FT type A
modules. It consists in the following:

* frequently some single CP modules are auto-rebooted. 
*sometimes some single CP modules are stopped. I reboot them manually.
*It happened one time that a CP40FT  both modules stopped and a  total plant
Shutdown occured 

It was reported to Foxboro, But they always asked to change the CP module!
Recently CAR2000274 was defined. However no feedback yet.
The type of system alarm messages I received last 4 months are the
following:

EHSS000141  Memory Parity Error - NMI Exception  6C024868
EHSS000141  Memory Parity Error - NMI Exception  6C078425
RAMDSS  03  COOP IOBUS Fail FBM I/O FAILURE.  6C073595
FTXSS   90 Modules failed to sync up prior to mem to mem
6C079819
EHSS000141  Memory Parity Error - NMI Exception  6C024868
FTXSS   80 Memory violation occured 6C073595
FTXSS   80 Memory violation occured 6C078463

Have someone experienced or resolved a similar malfunction?
What is the root-cause of this?
How can it be resolved?
Is there a chance that another plant shutdown take place due to CP40FT
Shutdown of  both modules?

Thanks

RE: upload timeout errors

2001-09-26 Thread Airhart, Chad M.

We have tried uploads with Foxwatch logged in monitoring processor and RAM
usage and we have tried it with API shutdown and traffic minimized as much
as possible.  Occassionally we may get one or two stations to upload but
never a complete upload.  We have 5 CP40 pairs (4 A's and 1 B), an AB
Station and two Modbus modules.  We have upgraded our RAM on our host AW to
256 MB and our hard drives to 9 GB based on Foxboro's recommendations, all
to no avail.  I assume Foxboro is still working on the problem.  We haven't
really heard from them since the hard drive upgrade a few weeks ago.

 To be honest, I'm not sure. 
 
 I know it varies with the Control Station type (CP-10/30/40/60, CmP-15/30,
 AW-I, microI/A, etc)
 
 If I was dealing with this issue, I would compare the performance across
 the
 stations while uploading and see if I could determine that.
 
 I also suspect that it is linked to the amount of broadcast traffic in the
 plant. This is harder to analyze without FoxWatch, but it should be
 examined.

   It's always a good thing to check you system load before and during
 an
   upload. Look at the idle time and the free RAM.

   Subject:upload timeout errors
 
   List members,
 
   We have been experiencing some problems with our I/A system
 when we
   try to upload
from the CPs. These are the type of error message we get
 
   Object Mgr omread() timeout
   Error on parameter FKCP02_ECB:FK2B05.BADRNG
   --- UPLOAD ABORTED --- at compound/block FKCP02_ECB:FK2B05
 
   Object Mgr omread() timeout
   Error on parameter SATEL1_STA:STATION.AUTCKP
   --- UPLOAD ABORTED --- at compound/block SATEL1_STA:STATION
 
   This error occurs almost all the time and with any parameter
 of any
   variable.
   I would appreciate if anybody has any insight into this kind
 of
   problem.

AW70 AKP

2001-09-26 Thread Stefano Persico

Hi all
is anyone experienced with AKP on AW70 ???
I've one Plant with 70s Series running 6.2 with AKP configured which
very (very !!) often freeze - stop calling displays,receiving alarms
 - and the only way to restore the functionality is to
power-off/power-on.
From CSC no trace of this problem - as i can see - so why not ask about
it on Foxboro's GURU list ???
Bye Bye

I'll start with the simplest question. What is AKP?
