FSIM Plus is available for I/A 8.x and above on a Windows XP platform and

For controls sets larger than 12 CPs additional license(s) and hardware may
be needed.  In the past, we have handled up to 120 CPs using ten FSIM Plus
machines.

Commercial issues need to be handled with your Account Representative.
Separately, I'll try to get him/her involved.

We were actually considering duplicate hardware.

For the costs of FSIM (which I understood runs only on solaris) you can buy
quite a number of FCP270 and (as I also understood) the block license for
these would be inexpensive as licensing is calculated based on the number of

connected I/O which is none!

Please correct me if I made the wrong assumptions!
Is there somewhere a document that explains the control block licensing
concepts?
We used to have block-equivalentes, then it became value points but for
FCP270 I'am a bit lost.

Some folks use FSIM to do this sort of testing. See this for a general
overview of our offerings

http://www.simsci-esscor.com/us/eng/services/operatortraining/default.htm

And

http://www.simsci-esscor.com/us/eng/products/productlist/fsimplus/FSIM+Plus.
htm for FSIM particularly.

FSIM runs the CP code so that you can be sure that what you see is what you
will get.


Alternatively, you can buy duplicate hardware. :)

Although this doesn't directly relate to DCS, I'm curious how sites handle
testing of their ESD systems.  Since we have nothing considered critical,
we do not have a standalone system like Triconex, but rather we've written
sequence code that directly toggles motors & valves and safes control
loops, in addition to using EXC blocks to handle DEP block shutdowns.  Our
problem is that our reliability engineer wants to test those ESD programs
by turning on ALL the motors and then verifying that they all stop when the
code is run.  I don't like to idea of having everything running dry &
deadheaded.  If you test your ESD systems, how do you ensure that it will
actually do everything that you want it to do?
