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.

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 Chris Little Blue Circle Cement Roberta Plant ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Foxboro Company.
