Introduction

Foxboro® I/A Series® systems allow you to run virtual servers with I/A Series software, and connect them to a virtual AVEVA Simulation for Foxboro Control (Simulated Control Processor [SCP]) software and to thin clients. The virtualization of the I/A Series and SCP software is supported on the Microsoft® Hyper-V™ hypervisor on the I/A Series V90 Server Virtualization Host. The number of virtual images running is performance-optimized, ensuring that virtual servers behave the same as physical workstations.

Important: This document is intended as a complement to the I/A Series System and Foxboro Control Software Virtualization User's Guide, referred to as B0700VM throughout the remainder of this document. Install your V90 Server according to the procedures found in B0700VM. This document will provide steps to create an SCP VM and configure the virtual MESH connection. When appropriate, section headings in this document match those of B0700VM to provide clarity.
