Since I received 60-70 Out of Office AutoReply's when I initially sent this
inquiry over the Xmas Holiday, I would like to try it again now that we are
all refreshed and back on the job. Just looking for some insight into the
next release regarding the new Gateway RIN and/or BIN blocks and the
timing...

Subject: [foxboro] Version 8.4 RIN/BIN blocks with alarm capabilities? When?
All-Knowing List,
One of our 1st tasks in 2008 will be to build blocks in our new
FCP270/FBM233 A-B ControlLogix Gateway. In one area of the plant, we
basically use the Foxboro IA System as our HMI (displays, alarming, trends,
historian, etc.) over A-B ControlLogix PLCs implementing the control and
logic functions. Once we originally figured out the new Gateway, we
anticipated having to build 2 blocks per analog/digital input; 1 RIN/BIN
each to get the data and 1 AIN/CIN each to include the alarming
capabilities. Rumor has it that the next release (V8.4?) will add alarming
capabilities to the RIN and/or BIN blocks? Since we have >1,000 I/O points
involved, and if both blocks are considered in the I/O count license (?), I
would try to stall if I knew the rumor details and the release date is
sooner rather than later.
Can anyone confirm the details and guestimate when this release will hit the
streets?
Thanks.
