Terminal configuration
Definition
Required operating system
The configuration type determines the level of expected performance.
Performance of PL7 software can be affected by simultaneously opening several windows, accessing large quantities of animated data, or using a large application.
PL7 V4.5 software requires one of the following operating systems to be present on the terminal: z z
Windows XP Professional
Windows VISTA Professional Edition 32.
Note: Certain functions are unavailable using the
Windows VISTA Professional Edition 32 system. For more details, refer to the relevant chapters.
Minimum configuration
The following table provides the minimum terminal characteristics necessary to implement PL7 software, once Windows is installed on the terminal:

How to Transfer PL7 User Rights from One Workstation to Another
Introduction This function is used to transfer user rights from a source terminal to a new terminal
(destination), thus enabling PL7 to be launched on it.
The transfer can be carried out using: z z z
A 3 1/2" floppy disk,
A removable disk (USB port),
A network.
Note: Once the access rights have been transferred, the source terminal can no longer use PL7 unless you save again or make a reverse transfer.
Following transfer of the rights to floppy or removable disk, if these rights are altered before being transferred to the destination terminal, contact
Schneider Electric for a new registration.

Connections
Introduction
PC - PLC connection
This module deals with the connection of the terminal to the PLC via a cable. A description of how to make other specific connections to the terminal (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, mains) is provided in the manufacturer documentation.
Other modes of connections are possible, such as connections via UNITELWAY bus or Modem (via the telephone network).
To connect a PC, you will require the 2.5 m TSX PCX 1031 or TSX CUSB 485 and
TSX CRJ MD25 cables, supplied with new software packages (not supplied with update or upgrade variants).
