Hey Nick,
I must admit I'm a few years out of the loop, having left Foxboro in
2008, but I was there during the uproarious days after Solaris EOL was
announced. Terry Deo was one of the leading customers advocating for a
solution and we created a team (including Daren) to work with him. I
cannot speak to the roadmap anymore or what they are building into
InBatch today, but I know Terry would be one of the customers with the
most knowledge of your options and the pros and cons of each since he
helped us to build it.
It's a bit hard for me to answer your question directly without knowing
how much you change the recipes that you presently use and how much you
would anticipate doing so in the future. It'd also be valuable to
understand how you are viewing them in operations, since I personally
liked the interface of InBatch and would lean toward native
applications. That's just me though, a guy who never spent much time on
RBatch, and is a fan of those sexy Wonderware screens.
Best regards,

Dear Fellow Rbatchers,
We run Rbatch in the newest Solaris stations also. Works fine.
But I have a bigger question. What do you do when the Solaris stations
go to lifetime? Not too far away, mid 2012? Our plan is to leap from
Rbatch to INBatch.
We are currently planning for that eventuality and looking at several
options. In order of preference
Translate recipes with the work that Daren is doing and build an INBatch
to sequence block interface so we don't have to re-write our sequence
logic to deal with the differences between Rbatch and INBatch.
Re enter our recipes ( conversion process has some drawbacks at this
point in terms of recipe display) and still get an interface program to
keep from having to modify sequence logic.
Rewrite sequence code and re-enter all our recipes (last and most
painful option)
Anybody have any other ideas?
