Before You Begin
Make sure you have the following software installed before you install SoftLogix software:
• Windows 7 operating system
• RSLinx
® Classic software
Before you can install the SoftLogix 5800 controller, you need to perform the following steps.
1. Log into the Windows operating system under an account that is a member of the
Administrators user group on the computer where you are installing the SoftLogix 5800
controller.
To log in as a member of the Administrators group, your user account must be added to the
Administrators group on the computer. Ask your system administrator if you need help.
2. Install or verify that the following Windows services, required by the SoftLogix 5800
controller, are running.
The Workstation and Server services are automatically installed when you install Windows
Networking or Remote Access Service (RAS).
IMPORTANT SoftLogix 5800 controllers and software do not support Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP
network. All motion PCI cards are not supported by the Softlogix software, version 20.00.00 and
later.
PCI-based cards are not supported when using the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. The
1784-PCIDS card is not supported when using the Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 2008
Server operating system.
IMPORTANT We recommend that you read the appropriate release notes for software requirements,
compatible PCI cards and driver, and system requirements.
To locate the release notes for your system, search for 1789-RN in
Literature Library at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature .
IMPORTANT In Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server, and Windows 7 operating systems, when
RSlinx software is running as a service, the RSLinx® driver configuration GUI is not available.
To invoke the RSLinx GUI, remove all SoftLogix controllers from the chassis monitor and use the
RSLinx Control Panel to start RSLinx software as an application instead of a service.
IMPORTANT A machine running SoftLogix software does not support a remote desktop.
