Terminal configuration

Definition The configuration type determines the level of expected performance. Performance of PL7 software can be affected by simultaneously opening several windows, accessing large quantities of animated data, or using a large application.

Required operating system

PL7 V4.5 software requires one of the following operating systems to be present on the terminal:

Windows XP ProfessionalWindows VISTA Professional Edition 32.

Minimum configuration

The following table provides the minimum terminal characteristics necessary to implement PL7 software, once Windows is installed on the terminal:

Note: Certain functions are unavailable using the Windows VISTA Professional Edition 32 system. For more details, refer to the relevant chapters.

Elements Characteristics

System Windows XP: Pentium 266 MHz processorWindows VISTA: 1 GHz 32-bit processor

RAM Windows XP: 128 MbWindows VISTA: 512 Mb

Drives Hard disk 80 Mb for the software25 Mb for temporary directories

CD-ROM

Ports COM serial port available for connection to the PLC (COM 1 to COM 4)Parallel port for printer (LPT1 to LPT4)

Peripheral A mouse or pointer compatible with Windows technology

Monitor 800*600 minimum

Hardware implementation
Connections

Introduction This module deals with the connection of the terminal to the PLC via a cable. A description of how to make other specific connections to the terminal (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, mains) is provided in the manufacturer documentation.

Other modes of connections are possible, such as connections via UNITELWAY bus or Modem (via the telephone network).

PC - PLC connection

To connect a PC, you will require the 2.5 m TSX PCX 1031 or TSX CUSB 485 and TSX CRJ MD25 cables, supplied with new software packages (not supplied with update or upgrade variants).

Note: The TSX PCX 1031 cable requires the use of the UNITELWAY driver of at least version:

V1.5 (for Windows XP Professionnel)V2.0 (for Windows VISTA Professionnel Edition 32).
