6.3.3 System Requirements
Confirm that your system meets the following hardware and software
requirements before you start the installation.
Hardware Requirements (Recommended)

Pentium 4 Processor rated for at least 2 GHz

450 MB hard drive space for DTM Libraries

Video card capable of 1024 X 768 resolution at 64k colors

Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)

One of the following ProSoft Technology PROFIBUS DPV1 Master
communication modules:
o
ProLinx PDPMV1 Gateway, Ethernet only, serial port not supported
o
PTQ-PDPMV1 Ethernet only, serial port not supported
o
MVI series PDPMV1 RS232 serial
o
MVI56-PDPMV1 RS232 serial, or with CIPconnect and 1756-ENBT
module for Ethernet support
o
MVI69-PDPMV1 RS232 serial, or with CIPconnect for Ethernet support
Note for MVI series and PTQ users: The Ethernet connection implements a version of UDP
protocol that dynamically allocates a random UDP port for every connection. This implementation
limits the possibility of using most serial-to-Ethernet converters to access the MVI series PDPMV1
serial port, since many Ethernet-to-serial converters require the configuration of a fixed UDP port,
which is not available for the current implementation.
Note for MVI56-PDPMV1 users: The Ethernet connection uses CIPconnect to communicate with
the MVI56-PDPMV1 (firmware version 1.28.000 is CIPconnect enabled and is required for 1756-
ENBT support). The 1756-ENBT card must be located in the same rack as the MVI56-PDPMV1.
Bridging through multiple racks is not supported by the comDTM software.
Note for MVI69-PDPMV1 users: The Ethernet connection uses CIPconnect to communicate with
the MVI69-PDPMV1 (requires firmware version 1.37.002 or later to support CIPconnect through
the Ethernet port to L32E and L35E CompactLogix processors).
Note: This functionality requires comDTM version 1.0.1.5 with install version 1.01.0003. For
information on how to check the comDTM version and install version, refer to Verifying the
comDTM Version and comDTM Install Version (page 135).
