Not to confuse anyone else...OPC does run on V8.x You must be a running a P92 with OPC I/O Gate. Then it would be a AW70X (Integrator with control). V8.x does not support AW70X stations. Your OPC I/O Gate would have to be ported to one of the new FDSI FBM's to run the OPC interface. P92 could then be used as V8.1 AW70P. Or just add a V8.x AW70P to host your ATS and leave your 7.x system intact to communicate to the Mesh. Unfortunately not all migration possibilities are a fit. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 3/28/06 4:11 PM Subject: Re: [foxboro] CLAN to ATS ...., again I know it's confusing! :-) Just because you have a P92 box that will run version 8.x software, doesn't mean that it can. The fact that it runs OPC software excludes it from running version 8.x, thus being a boot host for the ATS's. I was confused and wanted everyone else to be also.
