Well, I have tickets, hotel reservations, and I registered, but that doesn't necessarily mean I will be coming. Since I work for a large organization, the decision is ultimately not mine to make.

Re: PLC Question
First, thanks for all the responses. Second, I have issues with all of the listed methods of communication from ControlLogix to I/A because of the following reasons: 1. AB Integrator 30 to AB 1770-KF2 or 1779-KFL DH+ module in single or redundant ControLogix configuration. I have nine overloaded AB30's connected to one PLC-3 that I plan on updating to a ControlLogix 5550. This is absurd. I would like to have something LIKE an AB30 (with no hard drives, moving parts, configure in ICC, ...) but with a much larger capacity - like a CP60 communicating over Ethernet to ControlLogix. 2. AW51 or AW70 with Ethernet interface, FoxBlocks and AB Interchange or RSLinx software. I actually purchased AB Interchange for Solaris and was considering installing it when I realized how much maintenance and configuration is required. One of our plants does us this method and is not happy with the results. 3. AW70 with DH+ interface, FoxBlocks and AB RSLinx software. If it has a 70 anywhere in the model number, it will not reside in my control system. (Sorry, Foxboro!) 4. Micro I/A with AB Ethernet interface. This was actually something I was very interested in until I found out the true performance and it isn't much better than the AB30. I would still end up with many stations. 5. AW70 with FoxBlocks and DDE I/O Gate through a serial or Ethernet interface which addresses data in the native ControLogic naming structure. See answer for #3. 6. AW51 or AW70 through an Ethernet interface with a third party OPC software which addresses data in the native ControLogic naming structure. This is what I will probably have to end up doing. AW51 with a third party OPC server. I just wish I didn't have go this way. It has a hard drive, has to be configured a couple of places instead of one, and I will have to deal with finger pointing when something goes wrong. So, in conclusion, I want a CP60 like performance and form factor, with the ability to configure C:B.P directly in ICC or FoxCAE communicating over fast Ethernet.

RE: sysmonmsg group
We don't have any AW70's, so I'm not sure if I can help much, but I do know a way to extract message data from AIM*AT to a text file on the AW51. In /usr/fox/disp_tools is a program called fh_sacego, which is a tool for extracting System Monitor and Operator Action Journal messages to a text file. The syntax is: AW5101# fh_sacego filename.txt histname Station name filter Compound Name filter Block Name filter start time in the format -MM-DD HH:MM:SS end time in the format -MM-DD HH:MM:SS optional -m for System Monitor, otherwise Operator Action Journal So, for example, to get System Monitor messages for yesterday for all stations from historian hist01 into a file called messages.txt, the command would be AW5101# fh_sacego messages.txt hist012001-09-13 00:00 2001-09-14 00:00 -m The quotes are required. As you can see, to get all messages without regard to station, compound or block, the filters would just be double quotes (). With no -m, which is the default, you get Operator Action Journal messages only. I have no idea if fh_sacego exists on the AW70, but I think it doesn't. If you buy the AIM*AT Suite with the ODBC driver license, you can use Microsoft Access and Excel Visual Basic to view message data from AIM*AT, but I have had very limited success with this method. Document B0193YJ, chapter 10 gives you some examples of using ODBC in this fashion, none of which address message groups. AIM*Datalink does a pretty good job of retrieving message group data, and I would suggest taking the AIM*AT training class offered at the Lifetime Learning Center to learn how to use AIM*AT.

RE: PLC Question
We second that emotion (I'll be 70 before I buy a '70 :-) We are currently in a similar situation trying to integrate some devices via an OPC server, and looking at the 3rd-party approach as well. I like the super-integrator (CP60 with Ethernet comms) idea as well, although one of those will probably never work for OPC. We had I/O scan overruns on all 3 of our AB Integrator 30s. I backed off the scanning of most ABSCAN blocks on them to 2 secs or slower, which fixed the problem on 2 of them, but not on the third. I tried phasing out the points on the third, but changing the phase caused the ABSCAN blocks to smurf, so we had to punt on that (we sent a saveall to TAC and they were able to change phases with no problem...sigh). I can't understand the nature of the scan overruns, as we are not scanning that many points. It's too bad, really, because I like the transparency the Integrator provides. The points appear to the operator just like a CP, so you don't have any training issues - as you might, say, with an all-HPM Honeywell TDC system with a PLC Gateway. But our crusty old PLC Gateways can scan hundreds of points per second - to the bandwidth limit on the A-B DH+ - without problems. Alas, I cannot say that about Integrator 30s.
