The EtherCAT configuration and PLC code on h0vaclx have been updated to change the PT180 gauge on BSC8 from a BCG 450 to a BCG 552. In the process I found out that PT140 had been removed in the past month or so, so I also removed it from the configuration and code. I also had errors from PT193, and learned that it was potentially broken, and along with PT191 and PT192 was slated for removal. I therefore asked Jordan to disconnect these from the EtherCAT hub, and removed them from the EtherCAT configuration and PLC code as well.

When I tried to take the system to OP, the second section of the CU1128 EtherCAT hub kept going into an error state. I eventually tracked it down to what I think was a mismatch between the vendor id of the hub in the TwinCAT solution and that of the actual hardware. Oddly I don't remember this being an issue in the past. I could find no indication of what the vendor id was in the solution, other than what the error was reporting, or how to change my script to make it match. I found a way around this by selecting and choosing 'change to compatible type' for each of the three parts of the hub in the generated solution, rescanning the IO tree, and when it showed mismatches in the version numbering, used the dialog box to change what was configured to what was found by the scan. This seemed to fix the problem.

Dave restored the PID and other settings from SDF. The channels have been updated in the DAQ. The tripped high voltages have been turned back on. I have closed the work permit.
