Leo, I write to IA 2 ways from OPC. 1. Same as what Ted suggested: from OPC server, use OPC-DA PI interface to send (write) the instruments' values to a PI server. Then PI server processes (via ACE) these instruments' values. Then PI server sends (writes) newly calculated values via fxbais (which uses foxapi) to IA blocks (Booleans, string, etc). 2. From OPC server directly to IA RIN blocks using FDSI-FBM. Since neither of these is exactly as you planned, do you want more info about either? Please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ted Jirik Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2011 12:36 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [I] Re: [foxboro] Wrting data from PI server to Foxboro IAS blocks, OPCInt <<==>> AIM OPC DA Leo, OSI has a very nice interface for IA called fxbais that does not use OPC. It uses foxapi. It does read/write access to IA very reliably and eliminates all the OPC configuration steps. It is a lot easier to setup.
