I/O Module Publication Periods
Special Considerations
The following paragraphs describe known problems and limitations
found in this release.
Device Control May Generate Nuisance Alarms
Er r or Indication: DevCtl generates a Command Disagree alarm that
returns to normal at the same time.
Descr iption: Problem occurs when a DevCtl block is commanded to
different states very quickly, i.e. as soon as the DevCtl PV feedback
reaches the first OP state commanded, then a different OP command
is provided. When this different state command after a previous
command happens along with a) the internal DevCtl Command
Disagree timer expiring, and b) PV changing to the previous
commanded state during the same execution cycle of the DevCtl, then
the nuisance alarm will be generated.
Recover y: Nuisance Command Disagree alarm can safely be ignored.
