I can't help you with PLC integration issue, but I can tell you that
assuming you are talking about FoxView/FoxDraw, I would not expect you to
have any significant issues concerning porting the graphics between the
Foxboro 70 Series (NT) and the 51 Series (Sun - Unix). We do it all the
time. We create the graphic on a Sun station, use a Foxboro script to
convert the graphic to a .g file, copy the .g file to a 70 Series station,
run a Foxboro script to convert the .g file to a 70 Series (NT) FoxView
graphic, and then the FoxView graphic is copied to all of the appropriate
70 Series Station. If desired, you could use a single custom script that
in turn uses a custom combination of utilities and other scripts to
automate the whole conversion and distribution process. If you need to
go from an Foxview NT graphic file to a Unix file, that can be done also.
If you are running Sun Display Manager graphics, then you can only go from
Unix to the NT and there will more steps involved.

Is anyone out there using this approach? If so, we are wondering if you =
would recommend it to us. We are being pushed by a variety of people to =
use this in a non-critical installation for a material handling system =
that is geographically spread out.=20
The systems integrator that will be doing the bulk of the work for us has =
been told by Foxboro that this is the only approach for what we want to =
do. However, we do not have any AW70's on site and aren't looking forward =
to jumping on the NT bandwagon. Our preference would be to stick with an =
AW51 and connect it to the PLC's via ethernet. We are worried about the =
robustness of the AW70 approach and about how much work we will have to do
=
to port our display standards over to the NT system. Any advice is =
appreciated.
