Hi Friends, I want to know the following .Just for information .Will you pl. help? (a).How to know among many AWs on the same LAN Which AW-Node is a HOST ? Is it possible to have on the same node there can be more than one HOST? i.e. One AW is a HOST for three AWs and another 2nd AW is HOST for another five AW ?And all are on the same LAN?How to define , where to define and where to define which is HOST? (b)..Command to know the MAC address of AW (c)..Command to know the MHz of AW (d)..Command to know the Memory of AW (e)..Command to know the Last Dump Date of AW (f)..Command to know the Current value of all the Analoge Tags on Perticular station (g)..Command to know the IP Address of AW (h)..Command , so that while rlogin it does not require password. (i)..Path ,Location for the password of Foxanalyst (j).Command to have default Display Manager /Foxview (k)..Path Location of all the Quick Fixes loaded.

RE: PLC Question
One interesting thing is, that with at least two of the vendors you mentioned (Emerson/Fisher-Rosemount and, at some point in the near future I believe, Honeywell), their Windoze-based systems aren't just for small/medium size applications. They claim scalability from a one-rack SCADA setup to controlling an entire large plant. Whether they can stand behind these claims is a topic for another discussion, but they do have a head start. I think Invensys will probably want to similarly unify their product lines, to save money if nothing else. At least Wonderware has a good amount of Windoze development experience, but their applications have been mostly smaller-scale, low-cost stuff. Unfortunately, I think Invensys is not going to tell us this untill the last minute, in order to avoid alienating their Solaris I/A installed base. I also fear that we will be paying for development, in more ways than one. And you are right; if their migration story is akin to the one for Spectrum->I/A, we will probably be talking to other vendors as well.

RE: PLC Question
I've been wanting to ask this question for months, but the latest thread regarding the new architecture makes it all the more relative. But first, is Invensys abandoning I/A on Solaris? If all we're seeing is a refinement or rethinking of Invensys' small/medium range product line, then I can continue to recommend I/A for our new systems, provided that Solaris will still be available in the future. On the other hand, if I/A as we know it is going to be phase out, then please, someone tell me why I shouldn't ask Emerson, Yokogawa or Honeywell for a quote? I'm thinking that if I buy I/A, then eventually, I'll be pushed into an advantage upgrade to their Wintel based system. If I go with something like DeltaV, at least, I will be able to make the choice of a Windoze based system that has logged a few hours running process facilities as opposed to helping Invensys with development. Either way, unless someone can convince me otherwise, I think I'll hold off making any more purchases until the boys and girls in Foxboro can figure out what they're going to do.

RE: PLC Question
Unfortunately, Invensys is not the only one on the Microsoft bandwagon. Honeywell, Emerson (Fisher), and the rest of the control system vendors are all being led down the primrose path to Redmond. This should scare us all, given the blue screens of death that I have witnessed on Windows products. Its one thing on my desktop where I'm doing spreadsheets and e-mail, but quite another thing for mission critical process control. Our Unix boxes can run months or even years without a reboot (of course you have to figure in software upgrades from Invensys that require a reboot) but I've never seen a Microsoft operating system be able to claim that type of reliability.
