Rockwell Automation System Release 3.0 PlantPAx System Application Templates Quick Start - Manual (Page 6)

6 Rockwell Automation Publication PROCES-QS001A-EN-P - October 2013
Preface
Before Using This Publication
You can use the tasks described in this publication only after first completing some prerequisite tasks. For example, you
must have your workstations and servers installed and communicating on a network.
Table 1 describes the prerequisites.
The procedures in this quick start use the following software versions:
• RSLogix™ 5000 software, version 20.
x
• FactoryTalk® View software, version 7.0.
IMPORTANT We suggest that you refer to the PlantPAx Process Automation System Reference Manual, publication PROCES-RM001 ,
for system guidelines during and after you use this guide. For example, the reference manual documents recommended task
configurations applied by the procedures contained within this guide. There also are recommended rules to follow when creating
your specific configuration after completing this quick start.
Table 1 - Required Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start
Objective Task Descriptions
Define the system • Collect requirements. For example, I/O counts,
redundancy, simplex controllers, and so forth
• Choose the controller family, I/O family, network
topology. For example, EtherNet/IP, Ring or Star,
ControlLogix®, CompactLogix™
• Size your system based on requirements
• Create system layout by assigning slots and
IP addresses, chassis locations, I/O counts, and so forth
IMPORTANT: The system must be defined and sized
properly by using the PSE (shown at right) that is part of
the IAB tool. The worksheet that is included with this
guide (see
page 69 ) cannot determine sizing
requirements but is a helpful tool for defining information
that you need for template initiation. To size a system, use
the PSE.
Install the system • Set up infrastructure. For example, install computer
hardware, wire networks, configure network switches
• Install servers and workstations (PASS, OWS, EWS)
If using virtual image templates, see the Virtual Image
Templates User Manual, publication
9528-UM001
or
Configure the operating system and NIC cards, join a
domain, and install software
• Set up the FactoryTalk Directory (FTD) server
• Install controller hardware (chassis, power supply,
modules)
• Test communication. For example, ping or use RSWho
to locate each server, workstation, and controller
IMPORTANT: The FTD location must be specified for each
workstation and server on your system.

IMPORTANT It’s possible to follow the tasks in this quick start without the entire production environment. However, a minimal set up is
required, including PASS servers and controllers.
