Steve, The official site to get to this information online starts at: http://ips.csc.invensys.com/ You must obtain a login username and password to access it. If you have an Invensys service contract you should be able to get a user name and password assigned by picking the "Contact Us" and then "Email Webmaster" I'm not sure what the situation is if you don't have an Invensys Service Contract. Does anyone else know? Once you can login successfully there will be a Top Menu Bar title called Documents. Drop down to: I/A Series User Docs Version 6.5.3 (or whatever your version is) Once there you can search by Part# and enter B0193AX as Jeremy suggested to get to the Integrated Control Block Descriptions. There are three volumes. The GDEV block description is in (Vol 2) This web served/browser based documentation is the best thing that Foxboro ever did for users. There is a ton of documentation and once you learn how to find what you are looking for it is the best online library for "almost" everything you want to know about Fox IA.
