Shock,
So you have seen this issue on multiple systems and when you replace the cFP-2020 controller the issue goes away? When you say it shorts the module to 20mA, do you mean you tell it to output 5.2mA and it then actually outputs 20mA? I would have guessed that this issue has to do with the I/O module. Does reformatting a problematic controller resolve the issue or does it still demonstrate the behavior? Also which specific cFP I/O module are you seeing this behavior from?
