Windows Operating System Restrictions

Software Requirements

  • Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 incorporates Visual C++ 10.0 SP1, Visual C++ 9.0 SP1 and Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 run-time redistributable components (If these components are not detected on the computer, they are automatically installed).

DDE Compatibility

  • Local DDE is supported ONLY when the DAServer is configured as "Not a Service" and activated from its executable file or launched from InTouch.
  • On Windows 7 and Windows 2008, Local DDE is NOT supported when the DAServer is activated in the System Management Console (SMC).

Hardware Requirements

To run a DAServer, we recommend as a minimum the following hardware configurations:

  • PC with 2 gigahertz (GHz) or higher processor (32-bit and 64-bit) clock speed

    Note: The Intel Itanium processor is not supported.

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM or higher (512 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

Installation Information

Before installing Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0, it is strongly recommended that you exit all Wonderware programs, including executable (.EXE) files and services. Detailed installation instructions are included in the DAServer Installation Guide. It is recommended that you read the DAServer Installation Guide prior to beginning the installation process.

In addition to the procedures described in the DAServer Installation Guide, the following installation requirements and other requirements pertaining to the installation and uninstall orders have to be followed:

Installation Requirements

The following installation requirements are prerequisites for Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 to work properly:

  • Local administrator privileges are required to install a DAServer.
  • If there are previous versions of DAServers installed on the computer, Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 will detect them and upgrade them. That is, Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 allows customers to upgrade from previous versions of other DAServers without uninstalling those DAServers. In addition, components that are common to all DAServers on the system, such as the DASEngine and DAServer Manager, will also be upgraded.

    Important: Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 will not upgrade existing DASOMRONFINS channel and device configurations in any previously installed versions. After you install this version, you must create new configurations according to the instructions given in the Wonderware OmronFINS DAServer 2014 1.0.0 User's Guide.

  • During installation, the UI states that the feature will be installed on the local disk drive. This is not forced, and you can install on a network drive. However, installing on a network drive is not a valid configuration option. Local installation is a requirement.
  • The DAServer requires Microsoft WoW64 emulation component to be available on any 64-bit platform.

Install Order Requirements

The installation for the DAServers and other Wonderware FactorySuite™ products on the same computer must follow the order as outlined. A DAServer must always be installed last.

  • (If required) - InTouch™ 7.11 followed by application of the latest available InTouch patch
  • (If required) - Legacy I/O Servers™
  • DAServer(s)

This installation order will ensure that any differences, which may exist in the common components included with individual product releases, will install and run without version conflicts. In case of any future patch on the installed Wonderware FactorySuite products, follow the particular installation instructions from the patch.

Uninstall Order Requirements

After installing a DAServer on a computer with other Wonderware FactorySuite products, the following applies:

  • If any Wonderware FactorySuite product is uninstalled from the computer, all other Wonderware FactorySuite products must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Note: ArchestrA ™products, such as InTouch™ 8.0 or greater, do not require any installation/uninstall order with the DAServers.
