I use logix and a few custom scripts that only run during operations (rarely). The logix is primarily for telling the system a Digitrax LT switch is supposed to correspond to a CMRI CT switch. I also have some logix rules that can disable all turnouts to digitrax users and selectively "unlock" switches by the dispatcher. But nothing directly interacts with signal masts in logix.
We run at the minimum baud of 9800 for now until our network is complete, then we will consider raising the rate. We are getting no initialization messages, I have monitored the network metrics closely and get a poll time of about 80ms on average. We probably have about 200 ft of cable in the network connecting node to node. We use a RS485 serial with 3 pins (A, B, Ground). Changing how many pins we use is not an option as our custom boards will not allow it. As far as I can tell the CMRI network is running as usual.
Some other possibly relevant info: we were running JMRI 5.8 till yesterday when I pushed us to 5.10. We are using the recommended Java version 17. We use output mast matrix "signal masts" for our configuration. We run the NS-2008 system.??
