The interface runs on a AW51B running 4.3, and the PI server runs on Windows NT Server 4.0 At times I have had some problems getting the interface up and running, but I have never had it (the Interface) fail once it was up. I Did have problems with the server version 3.2.332 where sometimes the PI Archive subsystem service would fail to restart after its nightly backup, but server version 3.2.357.17 seems to have fixed this. I also am having problems getting the PI system to write Boolean and integer values back to the I/A. I can get the reals to work great, but Integers work sort of, and Booleans not at all. </FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>Sean Meltvedt</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Control systems Engineer</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Williams Alaska Petroleum Inc.</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>-----Original Message-----</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>From: Balmer, Robert D.
