5-1 Installing OpenPCS
5-1-1 Hardware and Software Requirements
OpenPCS requires a PC with at least:
- Pentium II, 1GHz;
- 512 MB RAM;
- 16 GB of free disk space;
- CD-ROM and 1024*768 resolution;
- Windows 2003, Windows XP SPII or Windows Vista 32bit.
5-1-2 Installation
OpenPCS is
provided on CD-ROM
. The CD auto-starts a screen where you can
select the software you want to install. If auto-start is not activated or does not work,
please start the lastdistributed OenPCS programming tool version (e.g.
OpenPCS_Ver_631e.exe
file) available in
X:\SETUP\
folder (“
X
”: is the letter
assigned to the CD-ROM drive in your PC).
At the end of the installation, you will be asked if you want to install hardware
drivers. If you received drivers with your PLC, enter the path to the hardware
driver, otherwise select 'Quit'. If you received drivers for your PLC, you also
received a licence key for OpenPCS. See Licence Editor for how to insert a licence
key. If you do not have a hardware driver or a licence key, OpenPCS is still
functional, but restricted to 'SIMULATION'.
Note: Installations to substituted drives are not supported by Windows XP.
