Alex
when you introduce a V8 host and ATS stations to a 6.x node or nodes
will you have to carry out a system wide reboot
example
existing 6.5.2 system requiring expansion
add a V8 host ATS, CP270, FDSI
leaving the existing node hosted by the 6.5.2AW
will the 6.x stations communicate with the new 8.x stations before they
are rebooted

PS I am a FV user and DST is a pain our best work around is a script
that kills the frozen FV's, the default will come back by itsself the
operators manually restore the others

Stan,
I hope you can come to the User's Group meeting because all of this will
be
discussed.
However, I'll take a shot at it for you:
1) Our plan for device integration is to do it through an FBM.
2) The new FBM is known generically as an FDSI FBM.
3) There are two flavors:
a) 10/100 Ethernet
b) Serial: RS232/422/485; four channels; 115 Kbps per channel
4) Current drivers include:
a) OPC DA
b) Modbus Serial RTU (Master and Slave)
c) Modbus TCP/IP
d) TSAA (Triconex)
5) A-B support is a three step process:
a) AB-DH using the KF/KE adapters - basically DI30 based ABGW (Sep)
b) CSP ( control server protocol) is an Allen Bradley proprietary
protocol that tunnels DF1 commands through Ethernet packets.=20
This was the original protocol on PLC5E and SLC/05 and has been
supported in AW70 AB driver using RSLINX from AB. We will extend
the current DH+ driver on FDSI to support CSP. We need this for
Micro-I/A customers. (by Jun 06 if not sooner)
c) Ethernet/IP - The latest from A-B; used with ControlLogix (after
mid 2006)
6) The FDSI FBM works only with CP270s.
7) CP270s require a V8 system
8) Connection between an existing system and the V8 systems is through
The Address Translation Station (ATS). So, the minimum equipment
to add an FDSI is:
1) 1 pair of ATSs
2) 1 pair of Ethernet switches
3) 1 AW70 to host the ATS and other equipment=20
4) 1 CP270 (FCP270 or ZCP270)
5) 1 FDSI FBM
6) A variety of cables and baseplates
Hope this helps.
Regards,
=20

Subject: [foxboro] Upcoming device integrators
We are trying to do a bit of planning for the coming year. I'd like
to confirm a few bits of the future plans on device integrator's.
I believe that I've heard the plan is to do something like the=20
FB$224's. Theses new devices will basically come in 2 flavors serial=20
and Ethernet hardware wise, and will be supplied with
various software drivers to speak various protocols. Seems like=20
the term for these is FDSI's, if I recall correctly.
First, is my understanding of this correct? Next anyone know when=20
these (specifically for AB Ethernet) are planed to be available.=20
Third will these require a V8 system.
If they will require a V8 system, what's the minimum change I would
have to make to take a mixed V6 and V7 UNIX system (classic NodeBus)=20
and convert it to V8?
