Okay, I'm back with my head on a little straighter.
Re: (FoxGuard Manager) ACM Sizing Information
The ACM document is B0193VK Rev E. The one on FoxDoc is Rev D.
The Rev E edition has a significant amount of sizing information. It details
the amount of available RAM, the size of the blocks, the time required to
execute a block, etc.
It should be noted that the ACM has had substantial improvements in its
software over the last year or so. This includes the switchover time from
primary ACM to backup ACM. It is a much improved product these days.
Re: My earlier error (ACM vs. ABS)
Just before Chad's note yesterday, I had a requested for ABS information.
Like the ACM, the ABS document was recently updated with sizing information.
When I saw Chad's note, I thought how ironic that I got the same question in
such quick succession. WRONG!

Err, that should read, " The version of the document on my FoxDoc CD
is
Revision C and it lacks sizing information"
I should proofread my stuff. :-(

Subject: RE: ACM Module
The document B0193MK Rev D has sizing information. I'll send
Chad a
copy.
The version of the document on my FoxDoc CD is Revision D
and it
lacks
sizing information.
Basically, it is about as fast as a CP-10 and can hold more
blocks.
The Rev D document says that it can handle only 300 outgoing
points.
I
believe that this is a typographical error and that the
number
should be
3000, but I'm checking on it.
The AB interface options are:
* Micro-I/A
* over Ethernet
* over AB-DH
* DI-30 (FT or non-FT) over AB-DH
* AW-I over Ethernet
* AB Station (Co-Processor board installed in the
PLC/5)
For points per dollar, you should look at Micro-I/A. It is
faster
than the
DI for data transfer and has more RAM.
For a small and inexpensive total solution, the AW-I is
appropriate.
For a system with redundancy requirements, use the DI.
There are lots of other points to ponder, but this is a
summary.

Subject: ACM Module
Does anyone on the list have any experience using
the
Triconex/Foxboro ACM
module to pass data between the Triconex TMR PLC and
a
Foxboro
system? We
are trying to get some specific information on the
module
(i.e.
throughput,
configuration etc..) prior to deciding to buy and
install
one. We
haven't
really found what we are looking for in Foxdocs.
Does
anyone (Alex)
know if
there is a document available for that module
similar to
what is
available
for the Allen Bradley Station?
