Re: [foxboro] Foxray or Integrity?

Alex,

Excuse my ignorance.  Could you explain the IEE architecture in layman's 
terms?

When I look at Wonderware's offerings I see use of the term Archestra, 
but not IEE.

Does the Invensys IEE offering use Wonderware's InTouch as its HMI?

If so, does it access data from an InSQL database?

If not, is the IEE HMI directly accessing data from the Foxboro Object 
manager in the same way the DM and Foxview do today?

Or is there an API database that collects/stores real time values from 
the object manager and then serves that data to the HMI and any other 
applications that need the real time info?

Is the the real-time process data, process historical data, and the 
control configuration data all stored in a relational SQL database?  Or 
are there multiple, non-related databases used for these purposes?
