Re: [foxboro] soft tools

Hafedh,


You may use the PI OPC interface to transfer data up to PI. However, you
would need Foxboro OPC Data Access Server (as your data source). As a second
alternative, you can consider using PI interface for Foxboro.



In case you would go for the first alternative, make sure your OPC PI
interface is on the same machine as your OPC Server (OSI recommendation +
less headache to configure DCOM). One more thing, the usage of PI buffering
would help preventing loose of data in case of communication disruption.
