Remote Control Configurator
Remote Control Configurator (V. 0.94.1)
The Download link contains:
- rccs.tar: AW51 server files
- rccc.zip: Windows client install files
- Install.doc: nbsp;Installation Document
Features:
- Remote ICC Access: Provides ICC Functions from a networked, Windows-Based PC, without using X-Windows emulation software (like Exceed). The implementation is basically a client/server setup, and is essentially a Visual-Basic GUI for the ICCAPI.
- Windows Look and Feel: Provides familiar Windows “Look and Feel,” such as copy and paste functionality for parameter entry, and Tree-Views for Compound-Block browsing.
- Multiple Simultaneous ICC Sessions: Allows more than one ICC session per AW/AP host, unlike the standard ICC, which only allows one session per host. There can be as many open sessions as the number of CPs on the system.
- Cross-Referencing: Provides Cross-Referencing abilities. Any Foxboro block can be cross-referenced to show all other blocks, displays, and legacy historians that are connected to it, even while editing the block. This feature is not available on the standard ICC.
- Allows ICC support on WP70/AW51 hybrid systems: The standard ICC does not allow block configuration at a WP70, when the CP host is an AW51. This program supports ICC functions on any WP70 that is on the same node as the host AW.
- ICC Functions Supported:
- Block Parameter Edits
- Add/Delete Blocks and Compounds
- Move blocks and compounds
- Copy/Paste (duplicate) Blocks
- Sequence Code Editing/Compiling
- Upload, Initialize, and Checkpoint CP
- View PLB Ladder

Possible Future Enhancements:
- PLB Editing (PLB Viewing is available now though).
- Allow more than one simultaneous ICC session per CP, so more than one user can be editing a CP (as long as they are not editing the same block).
- Track Control Changes
- Change the GUI from other than standard Windows GUI to HTML, ActiveX or Java, so that the user does not need any special client software (they can use a s standard browser).
- Add other types of historians to report on, other than the legacy Historian (such as AIM or FoxHistory)
- Port the server-side of this program to NT, so that this program can work with NT-only systems.
