Issue
Some of the fieldbus controller Output values presented on the Infinity controller's webpage do not agree with those values when viewed from Cyberstation and WebStation.
Product Line
Andover Continuum
Environment
- Continuum Cyberstation
- Continuum webClient Server
Cause
Some controller outputs configuration are limited to specific output types.
On the b3920 for example outputs 9 through 16 cannot be configured as digital outputs.
The ElecType (the outputs electrical type) stored in the Continuum database should match the output configuration in the controller's database. But this is not always the case. This can happen when the output configuration was imported from a text file.

When the controller webpage is displayed in a browser, the parent controller (cx9900, cx9680, bcx4040, bcx9640) makes a call for the point value to the fieldbus controller.
If the ElecType for the output which is stored in the Continuum database is incompatible with the controller's output type, the parent controllers' call for the output value will fail.
Resolution
- Switch CyberStation to Offline mode
- Correct the outputs ElecValue to an appropriate type for the controller output
- Return CyberStation to Online mode
- Reload the fieldbus controller
