The hardware software you're referring to Terry is called ACCP

If you have FoxNet at your site you can interface with a special tool -
if it is still available. If Invensys / Foxboro cannot provide it, check
with one of the process system repair companies who re-sell hardware on
the Internet.

 

My recollection is that to work with FoxNet, you want a tool developed
by Alex Johnson. I don't remember what it was called but it had an
ethernet connection to an AW and  another connection to FoxNet.  Alex
also had a tool called AOS (Application Objects ....)  that allowed you
to take those Interspec points (Meas, Setpoint, Out) and declare them in
the C:B.P format for IA.

 

The site where I was involved with this product ran quite well until
they just plain ran out of room in SPECTRUM and had to expand to newer
hardware so tossed the SPECTRUM then.

 

If you don't have FoxNet at your site, then you need to look at
something else. I might be tempted to try tapping the 1-5 V dc off the
SPEC200 IO cards. Ensure either the SPEC200 is isolated or your 1-5V
input card is isolated and distances are kept really short.

 

Most sites that I knew who used Spectrum Master Gateway were never happy
with the performance.
