Anton,
When you said "to document my system", I assume you meant more than just the
control loop?
FoxCAE can certainly document your control loops. What about displays,
system configuration (or system definition), FBM and I/O assignments, and
Historian points. You will also need other tools.

Subject: [foxboro] Documentation of a Foxboro I/A system
Dear All,
I would like to ask some input as to the best possible way to document
my system. I do require a method to back document a virtually
undocumented system and it MUST include the ability to generate loop
drawings, using data sucked from a running system.
I have a 3 node Unix system that has recently been upgraded from 51D to
P81 servers/workstations, SunOS 5.8, IA version 7.1.1.
I am leaning towards the use of FoxCae, but I have been informed that it
is not the preferred tool, is no longer supported, and that IACC is the
way to go.
I have a very negative view of IACC in its current format/version - it
is laden with bugs, it is not robust, it is seriously restrictive in its
operation, is not intuitive and I will need serious convincing before I
would consider using it.
What are users out there doing right now?
Hope to hear from you soon,
Kind regards
