Better diagnostics for full FFO allocations #90

Open ZLLentz opened 1 year ago

When a PLC doesn't have enough PMPS fast fault allocations, the PLC output will fault without any other indication in the pmps-ui.

Goal: improve the diagnostic to let us know when this situation is happening.

We currently show the counts of allocated/in use/faulted FFOs on the ioc/plc status page. Since the counts here are summed from FFO1, FFO2, FFO3, ... they can't be considered a useful diagnostic tool for when the PLC has more in-use fast faults than allocated fast faults.
