| 3616.1 | From the "VAX VMS SW Source Book" 7th ed 10/91 | PAMSRC::STUTZMAN | Bach's music: inevitable, yet surprising | Fri Jan 06 1995 12:51 | 10 |
| "SETCON is a set of tools used to develop and operate an advanced control
system or realtime supervisory constrol system..."
(I suspect that our collageus who work in process control, oil/gas, utilities,
might have some first-hand experience with the product).

| You can interface SETCON to almost anything, given a chance.
If you can find anyone from a process-industry software background
they should know of SETCON.
Setcon also runs on HP-UX, and maybe others.
Setcon also had a more modern sister called SETCIM.
Setpoint Inc used to be a CSO, or SCMP, or whatever, and there used to
be an entry for them on Softbase. I can't find one now, but I don't
know whether Softbase gets updated these days anyway... Setpoint Inc
also got taken over by a French company, CEGELEC, at one stage.
Julie, what's your interest? If you are Julie Howell @ REO, then:
1) There is a UK subsidiary of Setpoint, and various Setcon/Setcim
resellers
2) Bill Whight @ BSO knows far more than I do about this stuff

| 3616.3 | Like he said. | CAMONE::SCHIESSL | | Fri Jan 06 1995 16:41 | 12 |

Walter's information in -.1 is correct. SETCON is a layered product
from SETPOINT that is normally used in Manufacturing solutions.
I would be very suprised to find out that SETCON does not support the
TDC3000 Distributed Control System. It is one of the major systems in
the industry.
I used to hear a lot about SETCON a couple of years ago, but have not
seen much of them lately.

Many thanks to all those who replied - You've all been
very helpful and quick. I've now passed on the information.

| 3616.6 | Maybe I can help! | MSDOA::PERKINST | | Tue Jan 10 1995 19:26 | 11 |
| Maybe I can help. I have a Process Industry background and have worked
with Setpoint on several projects.
Setpoint's SETCON is a data acquisition and supervisory control
application. Newer versions can be interfaced to Honeywell's TDC 3000
DCS system via the CM50 gateway & software available from Honeywell.
I am not aware of a notes file on Setpoint, but you might try
contacting Dale Clutter @MRO. He is part of the group that works with
3rd parties like Setpoint.

| 3616.7 | Or you could try... | CAMONE::SCHIESSL | | Wed Jan 11 1995 12:45 | 9 |

I might as well throw in a plug here....
If SETCON does not work out, look at using Digital's own BASEstar
software. It currently supports the TDC3000 through Honeywell's CM50S
gateway.

| 3616.8 | have your PI too | GLADYS::ORME | MadVax | Wed Jan 11 1995 15:39 | 5 |

And if you want something that works straight out of the box then
try OSI's PI system. I have installed PI in a power station OZ.
