To install the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client:
1. Follow the on-screen instructions.
When finished, there may be a short delay before you see the RSLinx Classic Lite installer
start.
Installing RSLinx Classic Lite
See “Installing FactoryTalk AssetCentre Machine Edition software” on page 13 for the steps to
get to this part of the installation.
RSLinx Classic allows you to connect to Rockwell Automation control hardware. If
RSLinx Classic is not installed on the computer, the installation program for the
FactoryTalk AssetCentre client will install RSLinx Classic Lite v. 2.54. RSLinx Classic is
required even if you have RSLinx Enterprise.
The version of RSLinx Classic installed is RSLinx Classic Lite, which is a version that
does not support connections through OPC. For more information about RSLinx Classic,
see the RSLinx Classic documentation.
If you have RSLinx Classic (version 2.53 or higher) installed on your computer, you do
not need to install this component (and the FactoryTalk AssetCentre client installation
program will not ask you to install it).
To install RSLinx Classic Lite:
1. On the RSLinx Classic Welcome Page, click Required Steps.
2. Click Install RSLinx Classic.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions until you get to the Standard Setup page of the
installation wizard.
4. The Standard Setup page allows you to select the components of the software you
want to install and to change the folder where the software is installed. We advise that
you install all of the components. Change the settings on this page as desired, and then
click Next.
5. Continue following the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
6. On the InstallShield Wizard Completed window, click Finish.
7. Click Exit on the RSLinx Classic installation menu.
8. Restore the Install FactoryTalk AssetCentre Machine Edition window and click
Continue.
When finished, there may be a short delay before you see the RSLinx Enterprise installer
start.
