Historizing objects other than C:B.P's

2000-07-27 Thread Nic Glenister

G'day guys,

Has anyone out there had any experience with historizing objects that aren't
simple Compound:Block.Parameters?  Is it even possible?  In particularly, I
want to trend nodebus loading over a period of days, instead of just taking
a small snapshot.  Or is there an easier way to monitor loading over an
extended period of time?

Any help/ideas would be most appreciated.

Nic,

We historize some system information that is not otherwise available to the
I/A system by scheduling a script to run (via crontab) that gets the info
and then uses omset to send it to either a DM global or the VALUE
parameter of a REAL block, both of which can be historized.  Just ask if
you want more detail.  You still have to be able to get the information at a
VT100 command line to use this method.

An interesting note on quality.

2000-07-27 Thread David Johnson

Here's a little something I found in the Invensys annual report that I 
thought might be of interest to those of you on the list.

We are aggressively applying Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma quality 
improvement practices in manufacturing, project engineering, administration 
and the supply chain.  During the year we cut the number of manufacturing 
plants by 22% and continued to shift production and engineering to lower 
cost countries: 20% of I/A Series(c) hardware is now produced in China.

Bruce Henderson
Invensys Intelligent Automation Division Chief Executive

from the Invensys 2000 annual reportpage 29




I have a hard time reconciling sentence number one with sentences two and 
three in the above paragraph.  Of course that could just mean SUN is 
manufacturing in China these days. :-o

BTW if you want an Invensys annual report just go to the Invensys web site 
and e mail for one to be sent to you.  It's more interesting reading than 
you might think.


Regards,
David

RE: An interesting note on quality.

2000-07-27 Thread Lowell, Tim:

I love it.  Why is it that the result of almost any program by any
management team anywhere is the elimination of manufacturing plants and the
shift of production and engineering to China?   I think it is a lesson for
us all.  Lose weight and move to China!
