Release Notes
Operating System Support, System & OPC Server Requirements
- Operating System
- Windows Desktop: Windows 10 and 11 x64 versions
- Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher
- Memory: memory usage for the application is negligible, therefore the system should have RAM to support the OS and other applications running.
- Disk Space: will be user/application dependent. Files generated are small in size, however, there could be many files created over a large period of time. Recommendation is to monitor usage and execute backups and file purges to manage against available drive space.
- OPC Server - TOP Server DNP Suite or KEPServer DNP Suite Version 6.14 or higher with license sufficient for the number of RTUs you plan to export from and configured to communicate to your RTUs.
- If you want to use DNP V3 SaV5 security, V6.17 or higher is required.
- If using ODBC/SQL database, you'll need the database engine and rights to create tables for initial setup. We supply SQL scripts for Microsoft SQL server.
Device Compatibility
- Emerson FB-1000 and 2000 Series Flow Computers
- Emerson FB-3000 RTUs
- DNP Secure SaV5 supported
- Minimum Firmware Version 02.15.00.95
