[foxboro] FW: Fw: SCADA Points

I need to aquire data from some equipment via an FBM224. This dat is really
a text string. I want to log the text string to a flat file on disk. I'm
wondering how the best way to apraoch this will be.

I've atached some details if the data below.


Sequence of Events (SER) - Collected into the communications processor via 
ASCII SER message: Parsed as a character string each character requires a 
register :17,920 registers per 351A 
Includes a text record of up to the last 512 point changes. Each point 
will include record number (1 - 512), date (mth/day/yr), time 
(hr:min:sec:msec), element (name 6 characters max), and state (asserted or 
Deasserted). 

You also may consider having the remote system logging into each relay 
periodically and issuing the ASCII SER message and parsing the character 
string into a file instead of having the communications processor have to 
store and forward them. It may also be possible to Flex parse the SER into 
the communication processor meaning we can break apart the SER report into 
integers, floats, and characters and send them over the SCADA where they 
would need to be reconstructed into a useful format. With the flex parse 
solution each SER point would consist of 6 integers, 1 float, and 20 
characters.
