Re: [foxboro] CLAN to ATS ...., again

Not to confuse anyone else...OPC does run on V8.x

You must be a running a P92 with OPC I/O Gate.
Then it would be a AW70X (Integrator with control).
V8.x does not support AW70X stations.
Your OPC I/O Gate would have to be ported to one of the new FDSI FBM's to
run the OPC interface.
P92 could then be used as V8.1 AW70P.

Or just add a V8.x AW70P to host your ATS and leave your
7.x system intact to communicate to the Mesh.

Unfortunately not all migration possibilities are a fit.

I know it's confusing!  :-)

Just because you have a P92 box that will run version 8.x
software, doesn't mean that it can.  The fact that it runs
OPC software excludes it from running version 8.x, thus
being a boot host for the ATS's.

I was confused and wanted everyone else to be also.
