Foxboro DCS Linker (IALink)

Use the Foxboro DCS Linker to define the links between the process model tags (Model Tags) and Foxboro DCS Compound:Block.Parameters and Shared Variables (Foxboro DCS Tags). Foxboro DCS Linker accesses the Process Model database so that it can retrieve and synchronize the databases whenever you add, delete, or change tags.

Note: Model Editor and Foxboro DCS Linker cannot run concurrently. Only one editor at a time can access the Model database.

You can use Foxboro DCS Linker to manually link Foxboro DCS Tags. You can automatically link Foxboro DCS Tags to Model Tags.

Automatic linking of Model Tags is based on the mapping configuration defined in AVEVA Batch Management with Foxboro DCS components Tag Map file (TagMap.txt).

These mapping files are ASCII text files. You can edit them to set up the automation linking. The files contain default tag mapping configurations. Foxboro DCS Linker stores information in the cfgLinkDB database.
