Also, note that there is a fault tolerant version of the PI software. It connects the NT PI Server to 2 IA stations. Switching from the failing IA station to the backup is quick and automatic. Internally, monitoring involves a block or two located in a CP. I was part of a group that started up a very early version in 2002 (maybe the first redundant PI on an IA link). The startup went quite cleanly, and it has been operating since, as I understand, quite without problems. William C. Ricker FeedForward, Inc.
