I am also really concerned and annoyed about Invensys's decision of getting
rid of FoxComm. I knew about it, when I was told that new mass flowmeter
CFT50 does not have any support for FoxComm (we read densities,
temperatures, etc through FoxComm). Deprecating FoxComm will bring us lots
of troubles, and I guess that tools like IFDC will go useless under this
scenario. I would like to know others users opinions about this issue.

Asunto: [foxboro] Foxboro Instrumentation Question
Gentlmen,
I know this is an IA list but I have run into an issue with Foxboro M&I
that is interesting to say the least.
The issue is that Foxboro has discontinued their Remote Indicator
RDM10-P-FDZ. This indicator is used with Foxboro transmitters that are
in Digital mode (ie. Foxcom). If you have a transmitter mounted in a
pipe rack and want the operator to be able to see the transmitter
reading at ground level you would use an RDM10. By discontinuing this
item it leaves us with no way to display a reading remotely to the
transmitter.
What I find interesting is that Foxboro says that the RDM10 is a very
low use item. The inference is that we are the only user. I find this
hard to believe. Surely there are others out using Foxcom to talk to
their instruments. If I can't communicate digitally there is no reason
to buy Foxboro instruments.
To my knowledge there are no 3rd party solutions since there is not a
4-20 mA signal available when the transmitter is in digital mode. I am
looking for any suggestions or input that anyone might have.
Thanks in advance,
