End X etherCAT machine

I restarted the end X beckhoff machine a few minutes ago (first it had the run time error not found error, then I tried to do an SVN update and was unable to connect to the repository, even though I could see the repository using firefox.  Dave was able to check the snv status, and everything seems to be locked.)  After restarting none of the variables were being exported, even on the beckhoff machine I could not caget them although the PLCs seemed to be running as well as the IoC.  After using the install script to restart EPICS database, the variables seem to be exported, but they are not correct (for example, in the PLC, I can see that H1:ALS-X_FIBR_LOCK_FIBER_POLARIZATIONPERCENT is 17, but if I caget on the beckhoff machine it is zero.  Also, values that I enter on medm screens do not make it into the beckhoff machine.

I think that I have found the beat note between the single shot beam and the PSL doubled light on ISCT1, right now it is at -49dBm, (nothing has been optimized) I wanted to confirm this is it by unlocking the X end PLL and seeing it move in frequency, but that is not possible without the  end TwinCAT.
