Operating System
- Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Service Pack 2, Standard or Enterprise Edition.
- Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008 (32-bit), Service Pack 2, Standard or Enterprise Edition.
- Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), Standard or Enterprise Edition.
IMPORTANT: If you want to run Discover and Auto Configure on any of these supported operating systems, make sure that your version of iFIX supports that operating system. Similarly, the driver which you plan to use with Discover and Auto Configure must also support that operating system. For example, if the driver is not supported on a 64-bit system, then you cannot use Discover and Auto Configure on that system.
OPC Servers
Any OPC server that supports the OLE for Process Control specification v1.0a or v2.05.
NOTE: Using a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software package is not required to use the OPC Client. However, if you choose to use an HMI software package, select one of the following:
- FIX for Windows NT version 6.15 or greater. Latched data support requires FIX 6.15 with a special SACDLL SIM. Contact Technical Support to obtain the SIM.
- iFIX version 2.1 or greater.
- A third-party HMI software package.
