The support of existing systems in the IEE is an on-going effort. Delivery of that support is sometime away; hence, my recommendation of IACC. Today, IEE does not exceed IACC for back documentation (FoxCAE remains the best at that). However, it is an area that is being worked. LOOPID is the key used by FoxCAE, IACC, and IEE to group imported blocks into control strategies. If you use it for "free text", the grouping will not be terribly useful on import into any of these configurators. Does this help?

How will IEE support hybrid 6.5.x/7.x/8.x systems that include modules only supported by sysDef =3D09eg MB+ integrators and COM15 gateways The suggestion for me to migrate to FCP's using ICC then change to IEE at a later date looks inviting ? will IEE be any better at back engineering than IACC ? What are the rules for the loopID field when importing a saveAll into IACC/foxCAE/IEE using the loop ID grouping We have only used loop ID as free text but it seems the starting point to improve changing configurators Shaun NZ Steel =3D0A=3D0ANOTICE - This message and any attached files may contain informatio=3D n that is confidential and intended only for use by the intended recipien=3D t.
