Re: 1
You need AIM*OPC DA Server to feed data to other applications. The following
table shows the part numbers:
Part No: AIM*OPC Server - Direct Access
Q0301UT - Connects to a single AW/AP as data source
Q0301XT - Connects to a three AW/APs as data sources
Q0301XU - Connects to a five AW/APs as data sources
Q0301XV - Connects to 10 AW/APs as data sources
Description: Supports DA(Direct Access) Spec v2.04 and OPC Clients V1.0 and
later. Certified by Foxboro. The various part numbers select a different
number of data sources for the DA server. The AW/Aps used as a data source
may be on the same network or different networks.
Platform: I/A Series AW-70 or other MS OS based platform connected to an I/A
Series system using AIM*API. Does not require AIM*Historian since it does
not support historical data access.
Re: 2
To bring OPC Data into a V4.3/V6.1+/V7.x system, you need - Q0301HT - the
AW70 OPC I/O Gate Client Interface. This is a package that runs on an
AW-Integrator.
The HG package just brings the data into AIM*Historian. It does not put it
into C:B.Ps.
Re: 3
We sell them separately, but you may run them on the same AW70.
I'll send you my OPC Q&A off-list. It should answer all of your questions.
If it does not, ask again and I'll update it.
BTW, several 3rd parties offer direct interfaces to the I/A Series. For
example, OSI PI and AspenTech IP.21 both have interfaces that load on our
system and offer more than an OPC based interface.

Subject: Re: [foxboro] AIM OPC Server
Please help us understand IA - OPC Foxboro offering.
1. If we need to gather Real-Time data from IA-NT to third party
networked OPC-clients, do we need Q0301UT from Foxboro?=20
2. If we need to connect OPC-DA Real-Time Data from third party
OPC-Servers to Foxboro's IA C:B.P variables (and used in control scheme
inside IA), do we need Q0301HG or Q0301HT? What is the difference
between them?
3. Is there a package which offer OPC Client and Server functionality
for IA-NT, at the same time?
Thanks in advance,

Free advice?
Put the AIM*OPC DA Server on the client machines and use NetAIM*API to
connect to the source AW (AW70 or AW51). This is equivalent to
Matrikon's "OPC Tunnelling".
Why do it?
Easy - the setup is much simpler - no DCOM.
Worth the time and money, I promise.
