All symptoms

Wrong machine runs as lead, machines fight each other, or trim unit short-cycles.

1

Sequencer setpoints overlapping between machines

CheckReview each machine's load/unload band and the master sequencer's cascade bands for overlap.
FixStagger setpoints per OEM sequencing guide so only one machine trims at a time.
