Hi Ken,
A fast check that you can do and then feed the results to TAC is as follows:
On the AIM*OPC Server host run the OPC Explorer client (in the "Programs / AIM
AT" group).
Connect to the AIM.OPC.1 and add a group with a name op your choice.
Right click on the new group and select "add items".
In the browsing pane navigate to the AW node to which you connect to get the IA
data.
When the AW is selected you will see the "@status" alias as the only available
tag in the tag pane below.
Double click on the alias and then add it to the list of tags to be added to
the OPC Explorer.
When you will close the "tag studio" window and update the OPC Explorer the
"@status" will show in its string value some information.
When all is OK the value is "AIM*AT server status [OK]".
If anything is expired (such as a temporary license) you will see here some
useful info also.
For more in depth troubleshooting I strongly suggest to have someone from TAC
guide you.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [foxboro] Question on AIM*OPC running on off platform connected to 2nd
Ethernet on P90s
One of our two AIM*OPC communication links from I/A to the main Plant Computer
is down and I have initiated a Foxboro CAR to track.
There are two independent identical OPC links which use AIM*OPC and AIM*AT
Ver. 3.3 - off platform box connected to P90s.
The links were maintenance free since late Dec 2009 and we had rebooted each AW
multiple times since then.
The plant has been on line since Jan 2010 and we have made no configuration
changes.
Last week one of the AW (AW8431) was rebooted and the link did not come back.
On a second reboot it came back.
Then the other AW (Aw8430) was rebooted due to a Sys Mon issue and
then its respective AIM*OPC link did not come back.
After two more reboots - three in total , the link is still not back and need
guidance on next step.
The RTime client running on the MPCS and connected to the AIM*OPC seems
to "connect" but points do no populate.
Could it be something has expired and where are the important settings to check
?
