11-2 Performance and Capacity Specifications
Server Requirements
ProcessLogix Server Software must be installed on a PC that is
specifically qualified. Use of any other PC variations will render the
standard warranty and support agreement null and void.
There are two methods of obtaining the qualified ProcessLogix Server:
1 . Purchase the Server from Rockwell Automation.
2. Contact Rockwell Automation Technical Support for further
information on ordering specifically qualified hardware.
Platform System Configuration Definitions
The number of Physical Servers and Stations does not determine
system configuration. If you are considering a large and complex
process, this will affect the performance. For example, you may only
require passive monitoring and occasional report generation, but the
process is large and complex. Therefore you would be better off
installing system requirements that better match the Performance
system, rather than the Typical configuration. Use the information
below to approximate your system size.
Minimum
This is the minimum hardware necessary to run the ProcessLogix
components. It should only be used for small configurations that may
consist of 1 non-redundant Server or a Redundant Server pair with 1
Station. The system typically only includes passive monitoring and
occasional report generation.
Typical
Configurations will consist of 1 non-redundant Server with up to 12
Stations or a Redundant Server pair and up to 8 Stations. This type of
system includes 1 or 2 Stations actively monitoring and occasional
report generation.
Performance
An advanced configuration will consist of 1 non-redundant Server or a
Redundant Server pair, and (between) 13 to 20 Stations. This system
typically includes active monitoring from multiple Stations with or
without multiple locations and random report generation.
