PLC Interface overflow? Jay Heyl Fri, 30 Jun 2000 15:04:43 -0700

I have an event I run every night at bed time.  It turns on a sequence of
lights leading to the bedroom, turns off all other lights in the house, and
then, at specific intervals, turns off the lights leading to the bedroom.
The event basically works okay, but I've been getting an error from ECS
indicating some kind of problem with the CM11A (from the Active Home kit).
The error text is:  ERROR:PLC-Interface-2H transmit tmo1 (Item
"PLC-Interface-2H").  The interface seems to work reliably with all other
events and commands.  I can only assume this is some kind of overflow error
due to the large number of commands being sent out in rapid sequence.  Is
my assumption correct?  Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?
 Occasionally some of the lights involved in this event are not turned on
like they're supposed to be.  That's why I thought it might be some kind of
overflow, resulting in certain commands being thrown away.
