Sheri,
The FDSI OPC DA Client FBM can drive real-time values with their
associated OPC status bits and time tag into any OPC DA Server.
Since the data that can be sent out the FDSI OPC DA Client FBM comes
from a block - ROUT or BOUT for example - in the CP owning the FBM, you
will need to arrange for it to be transferred using the peer-to-peer
capabilities of the CP if the values do not originate in the CP.
However, I'd like to pursue something that you wrote:
I need to send Foxboro "alarms" to an iFIX PC.
By this, I assume that you want to send our Boolean alarm indicators as
opposed to our actual alarm messages.
Is this assumption correct?
If this assumption is correct, you might find using the ALMSTA parameter
connected to a PAKOUT block as the most efficient approach since it
includes all of the alarm status bits for a given block.
If this assumption is incorrect and you really need the alarm messages,
we will have to do something different since the FDSI OPC DA Client FBM
does not support this type of service.

Subject: [foxboro] FBM232 OPC to iFIX's "native" OPC server
Does anyone know if the OPC (client) FBM works to send info to
intellution's (GE Fanuc) iFIX 3.0 server? I need to send Foxboro
"alarms" to an iFIX PC. Can anyone explain how an OPC server is
embedded in iFIX HMI?
