Pointer table, IO, and subroutines

Hello Opto Awesomes!
I am reviving this topic because I found it very helpful.
Philip- your excel sheet for generating tag names was instrumental in my inherited project. Thank you. And OptoMary, pointers turned my 15+ page strategy to one page. And easy to add additional chambers and debug.
My question is, on strategies like this (where pointer tables are loaded on the power up chart) how does one account for redundant strategies with redundant controllers? I heard something about a file that can be downloaded after the strategy to the controller? er something? What is happening is that when I simulate a catastrophic controller failure, the strategy does pick up where it left off, but the pointers have not been defined because the power up chart did not run first. Am I missing something?

thank you,
LadyBNC
