Re: [foxboro] Boston Users' Group Meeting -- FDSI

Michael,
Us poor folks cannot afford to attend so if you cannot answer this
question, maybe you can pass it on to your creative "marketing team"?
We are in the process of upgrading existing A-B PLC Integrators to the
FBM233 (Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP) and adding new ones.  It is our
understanding that we must now license the I/O quantity (it's an old IA
System so the whole subject of I/O licensing is new to us) in both the
FBM233 AND the FCP270.  Can someone confirm and maybe explain why we pay
a license for each input/output twice?

Thanks.

Subject: [foxboro] Boston Users' Group Meeting -- FDSI

I am the manager for Development Operations, which includes the group
that does the FDSI drivers.
On Tuesday there will be three of us at the meeting. In addition to me
there will be:
   Loring Chadwick - OPC, FDSI base and core software, DNP3, IEC
60870-5-103, and
   Krishna Mendu - TSAA, MODBUS, Allen-Bradley (EtherNet/IP, DH+, CSP).

This is the development team, not the marketing team. We will be there
throughout the day and attending the FDSI sessions. We will be more than
happy to discuss any issues or questions you may have (unless, of
course, they are too hard - in which case we'll do our best, but might
not be as happy).

In addition, we will be participating in the evening get together. This
appears to be somewhat of a free-for-all meeting, so if you want to
continue the discussions there, be sure and let me know during the day
so we can join up again in the evening.

In the demo area there will be an FDSI EtherNet/IP setup so you can see
how that interface works.

On Wednesday, Bob Thrasher will be at the meeting. Bob has developed
some of the custom FDSI drivers, worked on the configurator, and has
done extensive testing with the others. He is also the duty expert for
the DI30B drivers.

Again, feel free to corner any or all of us with any questions you may
have.
