Performance and Capacity Specifications 11-3

Clients require a Windows NT operating system to support the
multiple-user configuration nodes architecture that is possible with
R400.0 ProcessLogix systems.

Platform System Configuration Definitions

The number of Physical Servers and Stations does not determine
system configuration. If you are considering a large and complex
process, this will affect the performance and possibly the Operating
System type you should consider. For example, you may only require
passive monitoring and occasional report generation, but the process
is large and complex. Therefore you would be better off installing
system requirements that better match the Performance system, rather
than the Typical configuration. Use the information below to
approximate your system size.

Minimum

This is the minimum hardware necessary to run the ProcessLogix
components. It should only be used for small configurations that may
consist of 1 non-redundant Server with 1 Station or a Redundant
Server pair. The system typically only includes passive monitoring and
occasional report generation.
