I think that a 70 Series box has enough "uptime" to boot up a CP every once in a while this is required. The control runs in the CP and does just fine. When a FT pair goes single, nothing is lost. So I don't really see a problem with 70 Series regarding (FT) Control station hosting. Regards Ron Deen Senior System Service Specialist Invensys Systems N.V. Baarnsche dijk 10 P.O.

I would opt for the more reliable AW50 series.

We have decided to replace our brand H DCS with a Foxboro IA system. I am looking for Do's Don'ts etc. for IA. Specifically things that you would have done differently or not at all when you purchased your system. I have already learned a great deal from looking at the archive (60 ohm input impedance and HART). System will install in December. System configuration is starting to firm up and the system will look something like this: 3 CP60ft Approx. 900 I/O - 200 series FBM's 3 AB I30ft Approx. 3000 discrete points 2 AW70A 1 AW70C Server 10 WP70s all dual screen Thanks, Bob Wingard Process Control Engineer Inland Paperboard and Packaging Orange, Texas (409) 746-7525 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
