We are using both types on different systems. Our strategy is to move =
all our systems to the OPC connection. Our advise from OSI was that he =
FXBAIS connection was regarded as legacy and would eventually be =
withdrawn. =20
Other than some issues, which are detailed in a helpful hint, we have =
had no significant problems with the FXBAIS solution.
The issues with OPC connection are potentially many and various. Mainly =
the fact that OPC is client driven and therefore potentially can have =
unlimited data calls with uncontrollable deltas. You design must do =
something to regulate this state of affairs. Both Matrikon and Invensys =
offer suitable servers, ensure the latest QF are installed if you use =
AIM*OPC. One of the main differences is the way access and data delta =
control is implemented. Although there are other differences that may =
influence you choice depending on the data you wish to collect.
If you go down the OPC route you can download a 30 day trial of the =
Matrikon server. I'm sure your Invensys account manager can arrange =
something similar for AIM*OPC. =20

Subject: [foxboro] FXBAIS vs PI OPC Interface
Dear list,
We are evaluating the use of FXBAIS and PI OPC Interface as a software
solution to interface our DCS System (Foxboro I/A system - MESH and =
Nodebus
Networks) to OSIsoft PI (based on Real Time data).
In order to choose the right option we may go for, we would like to
understand the advantages and limitations of each of the two options and
what are the considerations to look at before deciding on the best =
solution
in terms of reliability, efficiency, performance and availability.
Please do not hesitate to share your feedback and thanks in advance.
Regards,
