RE: FoxCAE Enhancements (enclosure loading)

2001-08-29 Thread Lowell, Tim:

Thanks everyone for the help with Enclosure Loading on FoxCAE.

The next enhancement request for FoxCAE I have is for FoxCAE (and SysDef) to
recognize all possible FBM types.  We have a bunch of FBM37's, which are 8
4-20 mA analog Outputs on 1 card.  Foxboro doesn't have a lot of
documentation on these, since very few people order them, but they are a
standard product with a PSS and everything.  For some reason, SysDef and
FoxCAE both are in denial that FBM37's exist.  When you build a system with
SysDef, you end up having to add the FBM37's on-line because there is no way
to select them from a list.  Of course, this also means when you try to
import your SysDef into FoxCAE, you have to add the FBM37's by hand there
also.  Even then, you can't get the enclosure loading reports to reflect
that the FBM37's you added by hand exist.  You just get blank spots in the
nest loading diagrams where they should be.  Very strange.  Invensys, please
incorporate all FBM types in all your software!  I don't think that is too
much to ask.

Tim,

The FoxCAE 4.2 release is already in the release process but I will ask
somebody at Foxboro to add a PT that the FBM37 information is missing
and it can be added for the 4.3 release of FoxCAE.
You might submit a CAR in order to make sure that the problem is
recognized.
