I can believe it.

Let me try that again. A colon was lost! or MS Outlook messed with
my
incoming message. I can't tell:

Here's some sample code for you.

 APP_NAME : SN0001;{ Name of DMC application }
 CNTDWN   : SN0009;{ AOA reference for CNTDWN }

...
 { This stores the destination tag as a string into CNTDWN}

 CNTDWN := APP_NAME,":DMCOP.CNTDWN";

 { This clears the count down timer. Note the use of : and ' }
 { In case you can't see it, the line reads 'colon''single
quote''variable
name''colon''equal''zero' }

 :'CNTDWN' := 0;

You can use string variables rather than parameters. I like to use

Subject:Variable selection in a sequence

Hi All, (I think this is the standard opening)

I will introduce myself first, I am a DCS engineer
working
for 2
years with
Foxboro IA, in a small wet country.

I am following this list since I started with
Foxboro IA and
I saw
many
problems solved. Now here is my problem (perhaps its
a
stupid one,
but I'm
breaking my wooden shoe on it).

I want to make a variable selection in a sequence,
its
written in
SFC.

First I made a macro called:
PUMP1 :TEST:GDEV1.AUTDSR
PUMP2 :TEST:GDEV2.AUTDSR

Then I made a variable called:
PUMP and attached to BOOL

In the first selection I want
PUMP := PUMP1;
the following step:
PUMP := TRUE; 


and when I return to the beginning I perhaps want
PUMP
select to:
PUMP := PUMP2;
the following step:
PUMP := TRUE;

But what I tried, it didn't work, has someone got a
solution
?? This
will be
written for a selection of 32 posibilties

RE:

Chris,

Re: Ethernet Baud Rate

The PCI cards in the AW51e are 10/100 Mbps cards. You may be running it at
10 Mbps, but it can go faster.


Re: Ethernet Cards

If you have spare slots, you can add another card. Some folks use the 4 port
card from Sun. I'm not sure that we sell it, but it should work.


Re: Overloading

Type: 

man vmstat

on you system and learn how to read and interpret it. This tool will tell
you if the CPU or memory in your machine are heavily loaded.

I'm not aware of an internal tool that gives a great analysis of the
Ethernet port usage, but play with perfmeter in /usr/openwin/bin. Right
click on the display when it pops up and you can select new things to
measure.

Your network folks probably can monitor the traffic in the segment that the
AW-51e is using.


Hope this helps.

Hi all

I currently have an installation that is hosted by a 51 E. On this
unit I
have Aim* historian which is sampling around 600 points, mainly
analogue,
approximately every 5 seconds. I also have an off platform PC that
also has
Aim* with an identical historian, which is pulling the data through
the
second Ethernet port. Also on this same Ebox we have the interface
for our
OSI PI server. This is collecting about 2500 points, half of which
are
digital and the other half are analogue. The sample rates for these
are five
seconds for the analogues and two seconds for the digital.
We are now looking to install another interface for a QCK analyzer
(FLS) and
I am concerned that we will overload the API or the second Ethernet
port.
Is there any way to calculate the loading on this second Ethernet
port or
what the max is. Has anyone else used this QCX analyzer and how did
you
interface it to the Foxboro, is there a better way than over the
second
Ethernet card. Our second port is currently 10 Mbit, I think that is
the max
available

Hi all

I currently have an installation that is hosted by a 51 E. On this unit I
have Aim* historian which is sampling around 600 points, mainly analogue,
approximately every 5 seconds. I also have an off platform PC that also has
Aim* with an identical historian, which is pulling the data through the
second Ethernet port. Also on this same Ebox we have the interface for our
OSI PI server. This is collecting about 2500 points, half of which are
digital and the other half are analogue. The sample rates for these are five
seconds for the analogues and two seconds for the digital.
We are now looking to install another interface for a QCK analyzer (FLS) and
I am concerned that we will overload the API or the second Ethernet port.
Is there any way to calculate the loading on this second Ethernet port or
what the max is. Has anyone else used this QCX analyzer and how did you
interface it to the Foxboro, is there a better way than over the second
Ethernet card. Our second port is currently 10 Mbit, I think that is the max
available

RE: Variable selection in a sequence

2000-10-17 Thread Johnson,Alex 

Here's some sample code for you.

APP_NAME : SN0001;{ Name of DMC application }
CNTDWN   : SN0009;{ AOA reference for CNTDWN }

...
{ This stores the destination tag as a string into CNTDWN}
CNTDWN := APP_NAME,":DMCOP.CNTDWN";

{ This clears the count down timer. Note the use of : and ' }
:'CNTDWN' := 0;

You can use string variables rather than parameters. I like to use the
parameters as a debugging aid.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Subject:Variable selection in a sequence

Hi All, (I think this is the standard opening)

I will introduce myself first, I am a DCS engineer working for 2
years with
Foxboro IA, in a small wet country.

I am following this list since I started with Foxboro IA and I saw
many
problems solved. Now here is my problem (perhaps its a stupid one,
but I'm
breaking my wooden shoe on it).

I want to make a variable selection in a sequence, its written in
SFC.

First I made a macro called:
PUMP1 :TEST:GDEV1.AUTDSR
PUMP2 :TEST:GDEV2.AUTDSR

Then I made a variable called:
PUMP and attached to BOOL

In the first selection I want
PUMP := PUMP1;
the following step:
PUMP := TRUE; 


and when I return to the beginning I perhaps want PUMP select to:
PUMP := PUMP2;
the following step:
PUMP := TRUE;

But what I tried, it didn't work, has someone got a solution ?? This
will be
written for a selection of 32 posibilties 


With Kind Regards,
Cor-Jan Baltus
