Alex, I'm sorry if I ruffled any Invensys feathers and maybe I didn't' since emails don't transmit expression. It was not my intention, I assure you. The throughput of the FBM 232/233 is amazing compared to the old INT30s, multiple driver capability or rewriting the EthernetIP driver to offer a SLC choice in the DVOPT would be a welcome addition to Foxboro's arsenal.
