One other consideration.
I would not replace my AIN/AOUT/CIN/COUTs from FoxGuard Manager with
RIN/ROUT/BIN/BOUTs.
Rather, I would:
1) Add the RIN/ROUT/BIN/BOUT blocks
2) Put the existing I/O blocks in software input mode (IOMOPT=0 or 2) and
connect those to the output of the new blocks.
This step prevents you from having to change the names in "downstream" users,
e.g., FoxView, Historian, and Peer-to-Peer connections.
You won't run out of blocks. Since FoxGuard Manager only supported 600 and the
CP270 supports 4000, you would have to combine quite a number of FoxGuard
Managers to reach that limit.

Hello,
You can only pack coil registers with PAKIN/PAKOUT blocks. Analogs you will
have them in RIN/ROUT blocks single.
Its a little hostile but remember that you only need that the end block remains
the same for display/control loop purposes. An excel file and some taglists
(IACC), bulk configuration (Archestra) or the almighty iccdrv.tsk will do it in
short time.
Regards

Asunto: [foxboro] Tricon ACM upgrade
I have several existing Triconex systems that are using the Tricon Advanced
Communication Modules (ACMs) along with Foxgards to pass data to and from the
Tricon and IA. The ACM is becoming obsolete and the replacement Tricon
Communication module (TCM) will require a new IA interface via a FBM 232.
In the Foxgard we used ECB's 90, 91 & 93's to read the Tricon alias and then
created AI's, CIN's in IA to display, alarm and trend data. With these ECB's I
can map 16 aliases on one block. I don't see anything like that with the
FBM232, it appears to me that I will have to create a new block for each alias
I want read/write?
My question ... has any one replaced the ACM with a TCM? Is there an easy way
to map multiple aliases with a FBM232? Any help or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
