5-6 ProcessLogix Client Installation and Upgrade Procedures
Saving Important Data
Each of the following items should be considered before proceeding.
ATTENTION
!
Client conversion is not dependent on the Server
conversion. This allows a customer with multiple
clients to pre-upgrade clients before upgrading the
ProcessLogix Server.
Since the procedures here do not affect the running
of the Server software, these procedures can be
performed with the system “on-process”. Caution
should be taken not to affect the Server in this
scenario.
If you are pre-converting clients before the Server is
converted to R400.0, these converted clients will
NOT be functional with the R320.0 System. R400.0
Client software is NOT backwards compatible.
ATTENTION
!
This procedure does NOT cover the existence of any
prior version of ProcessLogix Server Software. For
Systems that were previously used as a ProcessLogix
Server, you must follow the instructions for
performing a clean installation.
Systems which previously had a version of R320.0
Server on it, will have to follow the directions for a
clean install to have the older Server Software
removed before upgrading the system to be a R400.0
Client. Instructions contained in this section assume
that the system only previously had R320.0 Client
software installed.

Item Options
System Displays Document any changes that were made to existing system displays.
You must reapply the changes to the new display after the upgrade.
This applies in particular to the System Startup display, which is often
customized.
Station Menus If any changes were made to existing menus, now is good time to
document them. You must reapply the changes to the new menus after
the upgrade.
