Re: [foxboro] Infusion with I/A series DCS

OK, I think I'm getting there.

So, under InFusion, what will be the best way to provide a large
number of remote HMIs for management/supervisors/remote operators?  We
normally serve around 50 simultaneous remote DMs now, and have had to
split that between 4 workstations because of the 16 DM/FV limit per
workstation.  I'd prefer to have all the remote displays (at least for
management) served from a single server (easier to administer and
lower loading).  Is there a way to do something like that with
InFusion?  Does the web based server have lower load per instance?
Most of our users are OK with PI/Processbook for visualization, but
I'm left with the 50 or so where I require actual plant HMI.

Kevin FitzGerrell
