I checked with Fox on dumping data for these system monitor performance counters some years back, but was shot down as I was told this was only possible if you had FoxWatch (which we did not). I don't know if this is still true as FoxWatch has evolved into Sentinel. Contact Foxboro if you have Sentinel for details.

There are a lot of counters there. More than you can routinely check on. I was wondering if anyone had any tools or way to access these values and then generate some kind of notification when one of them went out of wack. We had a problem last year that was warned of by an increase in MAC resets but nobody looked at this until the problem was upon us. Knowing that this was increasing would have given us time to deal with it before it rose to the level that plant operators saw a problem. > Nick Steinbrecher > Process Control Engineer > (908)-474-3565 > email E.STEINBRECHER@xxxxxxxxxxxx > > > This note may contain Infineum confidential information.
