Re: [foxboro] foxboro Digest V9 #179

OK, now that Joe Riccardi has come out of the closet, I guess I can stick  
my nose out a little further, too.
 
I fully agree with his comments on FoxRay.  I recently had to leave a  
young engineer with only a few weeks of intensive training with me in charge of 
 
configs and apps on a large IA system, Mesh and Unix.  I was able to  
convince them before I left to first see the demo and then purchase FoxRay on a 
 
trial basis.  In these times of economic duress, they were able to justify  
it on a SAFETY basis and even spread out the payments.  They are delighted  
with it and keep e-mailing me how they were able to solve this problem and  
attack that problem through FoxRay.  In short, I think it is a great tool  
and wish I had had it years earlier.
 
I'll stick my nose out a little further.  Invensys is sort of "in bed"  
with PAS on Integrity, so I'll probably get banned from the list for the  
following:  I participated in the final validation test for PAS  as an 
independent, 3rd party evaluator with lots of IA experience.  On the  positive 
side, I 
agree with Alex, that if you have multiple DCS systems to deal  with, it is 
a more universal tool.  That said, if IA is your baby, FoxRay  is hands 
down the way to go.  It is built only for IA and doesn't pretend  to be a 
universal tool over many platforms.  But when it comes to IA and  dedicated 
support, FoxRay can't be beat in my humble opinion.  I won't go  into a feature 
by feature blowout (nor dare I expand into any detail on what  I've said 
above) - see the demo and even try it out for free, but I warn  you, you'll get 
addicted.  Now if I could only get Limeware to pay me for  these plugs...
