Does anyone know what is the maximum number of Command Files, And Statements permitted on SDU V3.70?

I use command Files on a system with 5k points. It seems that some outputs are not activating when in alarm. Curiously, all the outputs that dont activate seem to all be off Panel #26. (I have 27 Nodes)

if im not mistaken every rule statement can have maximum of 32 commands and 3kbytes of one command line.maybe you will ask me where did i get this 3kbytes..here's why, when i try to add 1 switch and add command to disable all control modules in 53 nodes it gives me this message when i convert the cpu database "external response longer than 3000bytes for device" ..

Every Rule can have 32 output statements. I have got that 3000k error on conversion also. You know how you can get around it?

1-) Create a COMMAND File - In SDU click on Configure, then Command list, then create a new command called "Disable_all_Mods"

2-) In the rules file ---

[Cmd List - Disable all Cards]
Activation CMDLIST 'Disable_all_Mods' :
DISABLE 'SDDC_Module_*';


3-) Rule for switch ----
[Sw1 Rule Mods]
SW 'Node_1_FCC_Sw_1' : ACTIVATE 'Disable_all_Mods';

When you use Commands, It should rectify 3000k issue. (Thats why I used command files in first place, The second reason I used command files is because you can only have 32 outputs under a rule. I then turn on the command files in rule(s)

mmmm actually im talking about disabling 1600 relay modules..i know there's a way around this, but i want to know exactly how many device can we put in 1 command? is there any reference or technical fax coming from edwards in regards to this matter?..

I also would like that Tech note that states how many devices can be included in one single output statement. I talked to tech support about it a few years ago. Thats where i got to use the command files.

My biggest frustration with the complex est product line is not having easy access to in depth documentation as you talk about. If anyone has any such info, please post it...
