Re: [foxboro] AW70 to WP70 via Ethernet

Ron,

The AW works great, it is just the Foxboro data
to the WP that I am not getting. I will try the
Bindings, that is one item I overlooked.

John,

In SysDef 2.1 the Bus is is called "Ethernet Nodebus"
which shows up as ENODE on the Network section of SysDef.

Chris,

Sorry I didn't make it clear that the AW works fine.
I think I have things right in SysDef.
Letterbugs Are:
AW - A70601, with W70601 for AW's WP
WP - WP7006

Thanks much!

So: No (live) displays and no Alarms?
Does this account for the two? So neither AW or WP works?

I would try to check the bindings of the Network card to I/A protocol.
Don't ask me how to check this, but when everything works fine over TCP/IP
and nothing comes through according to the I/A software, this usually is
related to missing card_to_protocol bindings.
You can't see these in the Network display (Control Panel) but you can
reestablish the binding when you:

1 disable I/A software (The red fox in the Control Panel) reboot the WP 
2 Place the I/A Series CD. 
3 From the CD, run "setup" and when you have the option, Choose "Other
Installation Functions". 
4 Choose the top left button reading "Network Bindings".
Select the correct NIC for this

Hope this does not make it worse...

Regards

Ron Deen

Yes, Displaying and Alarming would be nice.
I kind of figured the configurators would not work.
and the CBP function would be cause for great rejoicing.

What functionality are you thinking of?
A WP70 is only good for Displaying and Alarming.
Configurators and the likes will not work. Display configuration should =
be
possible and the "browse" function for CBP 's is established with a =
correct
AIMAPI or FOXAPI setup.

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.
