Check that the Foxboro application is running. Go to Control Panel,
select the Fox icon and make sure that I/A is enabled. If not, enable it
and reboot. When the I/A application is running, Sysmon will show it
(assuming that you loaded the AW70 using the same commit disk that
loaded the AW51 and that the AW70 is monitored by the AW51 in sysdef).
If you don't have a Foxview icon, you haven't loaded Foxview. Install
Foxview from the CD. You don't need Foxview to use the AW as an OPC
server. I've used it for diagnostic purposes on an OPC server and then
uninstalled it once the project was complete.
Next make sure that AIM*API is running. You need at least API for data.
Run the API test program to see if you can get data values.
Once you have API running, you can start OPC server (and deal with all
those domain and DCOM issues).

Subject: [foxboro] AW70 used as OPC Server (showing failed and no OPC
communication)
Dear All
I am working on one system having AW51B as server and also WPs. There is
also one AW70 which is used as OPC server using AIM* OPC server.
The Sysmgm is showing this AW70 as failed. Whereas the operating system
of this XP PC is OK and AIM* OPC server is running. This is connected
via RCNI, Enterasys switch and NCNI to the Nodebus.
Because of this OPC communication is not happening. Can any one suggest
any actions first of all to bring this machine out of failed state in
Sys_Mgmt" and secondly for the OPC communication.
Also FoxView is not running. What can I do to run FoxView on that
machine as there is no icon.
Regards,
Kashif Ijaz
