Installing FactoryTalk AssetCentre clients
Once you have installed your FactoryTalk AssetCentre server, you can install FactoryTalk
AssetCentre clients.
Where to install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client
Install the client on any computer:
from which you want to access the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client software (to edit
the representation of your assets, to view logs, to create schedules, to search the logs,
and so on).
that is capable of running the client software (see “Client computer requirements” on
page 5).
that is connected to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre server.
that you want to use remotely to manage process device configurations (using the
Field Edition software in conjunction with the Process Device Configuration
capability).
from which FactoryTalk audits are desired.
The Disaster Recovery capability provides the ability to schedule a comparison between
master files and processor program and data files. To edit the file and data settings for a
compare operation for PLC-5, SLC 500, or MicroLogix processors, you must have
RSLogix 5 or RSLogix 500 software installed on the client computer.
If you have purchased the Calibration Management capability for FactoryTalk
AssetCentre, you must also install the ProCalV5 client software on the FactoryTalk
AssetCentre client computer. This step comes after you have installed the FactoryTalk
AssetCentre client software. See page 49.
