We offer FSIM for this purpose. FSIM takes the CP code and adds to it the functions required for a good simulator, e.g., freeze/restore and elapsed time control. Contact your Client Sales Executive for information on FSIM. If you don't know your CSE, let me know and I'll make a contact happen.

I don't believe this is exactly the same thing we are talking about here, but is there a means of using a virtual machine to simulate and run IA control configuration off platform in ver 8. In ver 7 I believe there used to be an IA w/ control option that was essentially an AW with the capability to run IA control and even install and connect fieldbus (if you would want to). I recall using these boxes at the Foxboro Training center. They were a great way to develop, test, and ply with control strategies and displays offline and/or use for operator and technician training. Kind of like the old PW-Cs (yes, I still remember these). The answer I get from my Foxboro salesperson is just buy and setup another IA system offline - yeah, right. Just wondering if there is something available and what some of you other folks do?

I should add a couple of points: 1) This is not a commercial offering from us. 2) We do encounter some limitations in this "all-in-one" configuration as one might expect from squeezing 10lbs of sugar into a tea bag.

Our Operator Training System folks have actually built a VMware image containing I/A Series software and FSIM software for training. I've run it and it works well.

Just curious whether anyone on list has attempted to running virtual machine, i.e. VMware, versions of I/A workstations. I searched the archive, but didn't see much referenced there.
