Subject: Version 4.3 to 6.2.1 upgrade question
Hello List,
We are looking at updating our version 4.3 system to version 6.2.1 in order to expand
our system to include the new CP60. We currently use AW/WP51B's with Display Manager
and the Legacy Historian. Our CP's are fault tolerant CP40A's. We have 5 nodes
connected via Carrier Band LAN. We can not shut down all nodes at once, since this
system controls two 600 megawatt coal fired power generators.
Questions?
These are the answers as I know them, someone from Foxboro will probably give a more
detailed answer:
1. Do all of the nodes need to be converted at one time to 6.2.1 or can some nodes
exist at 4.3 while part of the node is at 6.2.1?
No, but you will have to do some special tricky stuff with the Device Manager.
2. Can we continue to use our Display Manager displays, or do we have to change to the
Fox View displays?
Yes, you can still use the DM
3. Can we continue to use the Legacy Historian at version 6.2.1, or do we have to
convert to the AIM historian?
Yes, you can still use the Legacy Historian
4. Is there a different CP image at version 6.2.1 that requires a reboot of the CP for
this upgrade?
Yes, this is a Day 0 upgrade and requires a CP reboot.
Thanks for any guidance that you can give, as we are looking to see what windows of
opportunity we have for doing this type of upgrade.
