The reason you can not set the ACTION bit with omset is because it is NOT SETTABLE.  
However, one can still set it with the ever hazardous tool 'setpars'.

When I try to set the ACTION parameter with omset (only testing!) I get an errror code 
of 15.  This corresponds to omopenlist already open.  Is this perhaps because I'm 
talking about an ECB that is used to communicate with an AB PLC on an AW51 integrator 
rather than a more common FBM ECB? omget for this parameter returns a 0.

David,
 
You can set the ACTION Parameter of the ECBs.
Setting this Parameter to 1 turns the ECB on, setting
it to 2 turns the ECB off.

I tried to modify the ACTION Parameter this morning via omset
(AW70 with Profibus I/O (ECB102, ECB103)) and it worked perfectly.

RE: Portable PC

2001-07-31 Thread Corey R Clingo

I tried VNC awhile back on an AW51E.  It worked pretty well, but I ran it in
daemon mode, and it had a tendency to die unexpectedly when no one was
connected.  I plan to do more experimentation on it when I get some time.

As a side note, I frequently use the Solaris VNC client to take control of my
desktop PC so I can read e-mail, look at FoxDoc (since its updater doesn't run
on Solaris -- grrr), etc. while in the hole doing configuration...

Alex,

That Mobil Workstation was pulled from the product lineup in January I
believe.  I had several interested customers down here, and when I
asked I was told that it had been discontinued because of low sales,
and that COT solutions were available that weren't fundamentally
different so we would no longer offer a Foxboro branded solution.

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried VNC on an I/A system?  I see
there is a VNC client for both Palm and WinCE, and a VNC server for
Solaris 2.5.1.  I imagine a Handspring Visor or PocketPC with a
wireless ethernet card running a VNC client would be a pretty
convenient tool.

RE: Portable PC

2001-07-31 Thread Forbes, Harry

Running VNC on I/A Series:

I/A Series UNIX - You must either have perl installed in order to run vnc on
an I/A Series  UNIX box or install a hack to get Xvnc running. The
vncserver executable is actually a perl script that starts Xvnc.  If you
want to share a real display (like the :0 or :1) then you have to replace
the incumbent X server for that display with Xvnc.   This would put you in
what Invensys TAC would call a non-supported configuration (I hear you all
trembling, but I gotta agree with 'em on this!). I have had easy success
using vnc on more recent UNIX OSes (WOW!...more recent than 2.5.1!). With
vnc, you don't need to dedicate a CRT to the UNIX machine. This can be
handy.

I never bothered with vnc for I/A UNIX on account of not wanting to hack the
startup scripts.  

I/A NT -  have used VNC all over the place for both NT and I/A-NT (I am
using it to write this). IMHO vnc rules on NT.
