Over the past few weeks we have started running into a long latency issue between the signal mast logic and the turnouts that controls each LED. We are using a Digitrax system with a CMRI network for Signals and Turnouts. Our network consists of about 17 CPNODES at the moment with a few more later to come. We have just over 100 Signal Masts with about 75%~80% of them in working order. In recent weeks as we continue to expand our CMRI network I started noticing an issue where the nodes are polling correctly with zero errors but signal aspects change slower than usual. With times where the change is so long the signals just give impossible aspects at times. Now the interesting part is our turnouts are on the same network as the signals and have no issues even while the issue is present on the signals. Directly changing the outputs using the turnouts table works just fine for changing the individual outputs, but changing the signal aspect from the mast table will choke up and take anywhere from seconds to several minutes to change. The issue seems to be most prevalent on startup, and waiting 5-10 minutes before running will get the choke out, but if the system is under heavier load such as 5+ trains usually it will start to choke up again. I am convinced it does not have to do with the CMRI network as I get the same result running the layout in simulation at home on a very powerful computer.?
Any help on this issue would be much appreciated
