ProcessLogix Client Installation and Upgrade
Procedures
Introduction Two levels of the ProcessLogix Client workstation software installation are
available:
• Operator Workstation
• Engineering Workstation
Operator Workstation allows remote connections to the ProcessLogix Server.
Engineering Workstation has all the functionality of the Operator Workstation
but also includes the ProcessLogix Engineering Tools. From the Engineering
Workstation, an engineer using Control Builder can remotely access and
modify the 1757-PLX52 ERDB database. All installation scenarios apply to
both Operator Workstations and Engineering Workstations.
IMPORTANT
Original releases of the NT 4.0 Operating system could not
address boot partitions larger than 4 GB. Later, fixes were
applied for NT 4.0 to address up to a 7.8 GB boot
partition.
Windows 2000 operating systems can address up to a 32
GB boot partition natively, and larger partitions with
certain hardware configurations.
ProcessLogix R500.1 Client Software requires that the boot
partition be at least 4 GB. If your existing system’s boot
partition is less than 4 GB, it is required that you follow a
clean machine installation to extend the boot partition size
after proceeding with the data preservation steps included
in this section.
Systems with 4GB or greater boot partitions can proceed
with the installation procedure. However, you may want to
consider a clean install to extend the boot partition size.
