I corrected the note below. I had IEE in three spots were ICC was meant.

Some time ago, I put this summary on the list. It seems to be appropriate to do
so again.

Re: IEE vs IACC vs FoxCAE vs ICC
The following provides a brief (and a little dated) comparison among ICC,
FoxCAE, IACC, and IEE:
Number of databases per system
ICC: 1/CP
FoxCAE:
IACC: 1 / CP
IEE: 1
Comments: IEE does not support by unit modularity for
configuration. That is there is exactly one IEE server
per system. IACC allows multiple servers per system,
i.e., by unit modularity.
Number of controllers per database
ICC: 1
FoxCAE:
IACC: 1-3
IEE: All
Comments: IACC does not support putting everything in one
database so peer-to-peer connections may need to be
entered by hand. IEE does not have this limitation.
ICC always requires by hand connection specification.
Number of users per database
ICC: 1
FoxCAE:
IACC: 1
IEE: Many - limited by performance
System Definition Support Built-in
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y (V6.4 and up)
IEE: Y (V8.2 and up)
Control Scheme Templates
ICC: N
FoxCAE: Y
IACC: Y
IEE: Y
Graphical generation of control schemes
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y
IEE: Y
Animated Loop Drawings
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y
IEE: Y
HMI Building Integrated
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y
IEE: N (On the roadmap for InFusion View, FoxView is TBD)
Device Templates
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y
IEE: Phase 2
FDT Support for FF
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: Y in IACC V2.2
IEE: Phase 2
FDT Support for HART/FoxCom
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: N
IEE: N
Comment: In all cases, FDM (PACTware) for HART and FoxCom is used
InFusion Application Environnent Support
ICC: N
FoxCAE: N
IACC: N
IEE: Y
Scriptable Operation/Open database
ICC: Y (ICC Driver Task)
FoxCAE: Y (FoxPro Database)
IACC: N
IEE: Phase 2 (SQL Server used, but objects and object
attributes are not necessarily accessible and the
schema is not not published for external acces.
Tools will be added to provide access to the data
Workfile support:
ICC: Y
FoxCAE: Y (also keeps a separate database)
IACC: Y (also keeps a separate database)
IEE: N (Everything stored in SQL Server)
