Re: [foxboro] FBM232 installation (Forked from Explanation)

I will take the time to fill out a form.  We recently went through an
upgrade which included our AB communications (AB station to 230 with DH
driver).  Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to address
values in Decimal on the Foxboro side while talking to an AB that
addresses everything in Octal.  Changing all of the addressing during
the upgrade on site was a huge pain in the you know what.

Re: One thing I would like to see in the future is the ability to read
more than 1 register at a time.

When you see a place we need to improve, please fill out a Product
Enhancement Request on the Global Client Support site.

The link is:

You do have to be able to log into the GCS Site to do this.

This really is important to us.
