Q: Is the ICC supported under V8.x of the I/A Series
Yes. The ICC is fully capable of configuring all control blocks in a CP.
However, IACC will eventually have features not available to ICC users and
which will preclude the use of the IACC in some cases.
For example, our FF implementation will use IACC to configure both the field
devices and the controller that supports them.
To make this process as painless as possible for our users - that is, to
stay in the process control market for FF based systems, we are designing
the IACC to configure the FF blocks and the required CP blocks at the same
time.
Since a CP can be owned by only one configurator - ICC or IACC in this
conversation - and since only one configurator - IACC - will support FF
device configuration, the use of our best FF configurator precludes the use
of ICC on those control stations.
Got it?
Of course, if you don't care about FF, this is not an issue.

"Our stand here at PPG is to continue to use ICC until we start getting the
new 8.x in with new hardware that requires IACC to enable functionality. (
AB FBMs, etc.. ) At that time we will be adding IACC to administer these new
CPs."
Can somebody from Foxboro verify that the ICC will not be made capable of
supporting new functionalities of the new 270 series CP's?
(via new ECB's and blocks etc.)
Thanks in advance,
