9. The installation program installs the Windows Firewall Configuration Utility. The
Firewall Configuration program then runs to automatically modify the Windows
Firewall settings to allow the following Emonitor components to operate: Emonitor
OPC Server and OPC Enumerator, SQL Server, DCOM, Enlive, and the Emonitor
Online programs (Enwatch/6600 Setup, Online Data Console, Create Loadfile, Load
and Unload). Then the DCOM Security configuration program runs to complete the
modifications.
10. The installation is nearly complete. Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now
and click OK to restart your computer. The Emonitor installation is now complete.
Installing the EDS files
If you are want to use Emonitor Online with, or import data from, XM or XM DYN
modules into Emonitor, you must install the latest EDS files for the XM and XM DYN
modules. EDS files are simple text files that are used by network Configuration Tools
such as the Emonitor Online Configuration Utility to describe products so that you can
easily commission them on a network. EDS files describe a product device type, revision,
and configurable parameters.
1. Start the EDS Hardware Installation Tool. Click Start > Program Files > Rockwell
Software > RSLinx > Tools > EDS Hardware Installation Tool.
2. In the EDS Hardware Installation Tool, click Add.
3. Select Register a directory of EDS files.
4. Click Browse, and navigate to the Emonitor program directory and click OK. The
default directory is C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\Emonitor.
5. Click Next. The Tool installs all the EDS files in the Emonitor program directory.
Some EDS files may show minor errors that do not have any functional impact, such
as “The help string has exceeded the maximum length.” Click Next.
6. Continue to click Next to complete the EDS Wizard, and finally click Finish.
The message “The Windows Firewall configuration interface is unavailable” may appear if
the Windows Firewall is disabled. If you are using some other software or hardware firewall,
you may need to manually configure it to allow the Emonitor programs to communicate.
You must install RSLinx Classic 3.60 or later before you can install EDS files.
