Possibly. But there’s not much you can do about tags @ 100ms going stale when you have max response times from the PLC as high as 3,000ms, other than a larger than advisable stale threshold setting. Or running at a slower rate than 100ms. However, if you are having problems with the tags @ 1,000ms then yes, this could help things out. ---

7.2.4-beta3 is building and uploading right now. When it’s done it would be great if you guys could grab it and see if it addresses each of your issues. ---

I’m not really worried about the 100ms tag. I only have one and it really doesnt have to stay at that speed. The 1000ms tags are the ones im concerned about. ---

Ok 7.2.4-beta3 is up. If you are still having stale values we’ll take a closer look and try to figure out what’s going on. If it comes down to it would you be able to call into support and do a GoToMeeting? ---

Kevin, You were going to check this on a local OSX machine. Any update on this? I loaded the beta4 and it actually increased my max times. The 1000ms is up to almost 9 sec max. Thats almost 3 seconds more than the beta3 that you and I looked in our web meeting. ---

Hi I have twice tried to do the upgrade and have had issues both times. The first time was due to the active X issue but last Friday I upgraded and all seemed ok until last night when stale tags was an issue with some of my devices. I have no scan class below 1000ms as was mentioned as a possible issue in earlier posts. 2 out of four exact same devices on the same network had stale tags. I could not get them to come back on line no matter what I did. I also tried refreshing and deleting/re adding the device but it threw up an internal error and similarly it would not allow the editing of existing devices. I had to go back to 7.1.8 and all is ok again. Aidan ---

These issues have been resolved as far as all testing has shown in 7.2.4-beta5, which is uploading right now. If you install this and still have issues the support guys would be glad to do a GoToMeeting with you and take a look. ---

Hi Kevin I will not be able to test it out again until the weekend at the earliest as it is in a production environment and is relied upon heavily. It also causes me loads of issues with inaccurate and missing data when it does not work correctly. A go to meeting is not really an option for me as I am on GMT and the system is in use during the week.
