As part of a start up alarm handling routine we use GSV to return the Entry status for each AENT on the network.
All but one unit takes around 9500ms after the first scan to report they are running,
• 16#4000. Running. All connections to the module are established and data is transferring.
However, one unit continues to report faulted up until 20s when the start up routine times out,
• 16#1000. Faulted. Any of the Module object’s connections to the associated module fail. This value should not be used to determine if the module failed because the Module object leaves this state periodically when trying to reconnect to the module. Instead, test for Running state.
This module has 21 slots occupied whilst the others have 6-12. At some time soon after it does move to running status and does not fault during operation.
Is anyone aware that as we add more slots the start up time for an AENT increases?
Or does the longer start up time indicate that the AENT or one of the modules is now suspect?
Do we need more patience or to turn our attention to troubleshooting and a spare parts order?
