Thanks all for the very interesting and informative discussion.
One item that I have picked up:
- if we decide to go with one configuration tool for the I/A System =
(IACC), then we need to have a room of Windows machines for the control =
engineers to use for configuration. Presently, the node AW's are used =
for building points and graphics changes. Now, I see that we would =
still require the AW's but have to double (possibly) the desk space for =
IACC configuration PeeCee machines. =20
Hence, there may be an impact to our control building - the control =
engineers would need (at each seat) access to the AW and to a XP =
computer).
Looks like lots of "opportunities" here. Thanks again.
Alex ... I did not mean how it sounded. Poor choice of words perhaps.

Q: If a V6.3 CP database is "sucked" into IACC, changes made, and the =
=3D
result pushed back into the CP, can ICC still be used for that compound =
=3D
(or block) or is this a one way street (conversion)?
First, IACC does not suck. :)

(Note: we are Solaris users and we also have a fairly large system - =
presently 10 nodes. The future may add a couple more nodes ... or =
meshes (whatever they are now called with Version 8.x. We also do not =
tie in our Control System to the corporate system - hence separate PC's =
are required for IACC. In addition, with the mesh network, we will need =
to re-think process area segregation that the Nodebus lent it self to =
very nicely.)
Cheers all,
