Don,
Maybe think "process" area/unit/equipment instead of at the "block/loop"
level. In IEE/IDE, the Strategy is a superfluous layer of organization
between the Compound layer and the Blocks. I would not make them too
small and dedicated as it is not easy to see outside of the Strategy
(i.e., connections/declarations to other Strategies/Blocks) from within
IEE/IDE. Also consider Strategies useful for repetitive/duplicate
unit/equipment controls. Also consider how the LOOPID affects nested
Strategies; maybe the majority of your Strategies in the end.
Just my 2 cents...
Good luck...

Subject: [foxboro] IEE Strategy Naming Conventions
List,
My company will be upgrading from an old UNIX version (4.3) of I/A to
version 8.6 on the mesh, using Foxview/Foxdraw, Wonderware Historian,
and the IEE (now Foxboro Control Software 3.0) configurator. Invensys
will be performing the conversion of systems, except for the screens,
which I will re-create on the Foxdraw. I found out at the recent
OpsManage conference in Nashville that the conversion into IEE is made
much easier if the LOOPID parameter in the blocks is filled in. All of
our existing blocks have blanks in the LOOPID parameter.
My plan is to fill in the LOOPID parameters before Invensys starts
the conversion. I'm thinking of using the main control block tagname
(eg. The PIDA control block) for each loop, maybe appending the CP and
compound name onto it. However, for cascade loops, I am unsure of what
to do. I am thinking of just naming each loop within a cascade and let
the strategies then point or connect to each other. I am not up to speed
yet on IEE. My question is, what are solid naming conventions for
strategies and LOOPID parameters, and how are more complex relationships
handled?
