Re: [foxboro] AW70 to WP70 via Ethernet

Thanks John,

You reminded me,

I noticed in Hardware section of SysDef it
showed WP70 host as itself, however under
Parameter section I had the AW as the host.
Which should it be?

Be sure that in the system definition for the AW and WP stations the network
connection is set correctly as ethernet.   If it is set as nodebus, then the
foxboro functionality will only work when they are connected to a nodebus
segment via a DNBI. We have had full AW functionality over ethernet during a
configuration project here - so I can say this should be OK at least.

Sorry, I don't have an up to date copy of sysdef to check the correct
parameter, and I'm not sure if this can be edited in a file anywhere after
the initial setup, without using the system definition program. Anyone?

Hi Folks,

I have a AW70 and a WP70 connected over ethernet.
I am able to copy files back and forth, but can not
get any Foxboro functionality to work.
I have tried playing with the an_init.cfg file to no avail.
And spent half a day looking through Foxboro documents
to find explicit information on getting these boxes to talk.

Question1: Does anyone have this setup working?
Question2: Has anyone found any documention on this setup?
I have found plenty on AW70 and WP70, but it rarely speaks
of the two together.

T.I.A.
