Using ControlGuardian in a Windows Environment
The Microsoft Windows operating system offers a graphical interface for consistent
access to applications and multitasking of those applications. By running
ControlGuardian under Windows, you can have multiple sessions active at one time.
Note If you intend to run multiple sessions of ControlGuardian (except when using the
WinLinx/RSLinx driver), use a separate communication device for each session.
For example, you can have multiple 1784-KT cards in the programming terminal, or
run one session from a 1784-KT card and another session from a serial device. For
more information about configuring communication devices, see chapter 3.
If you are new to Windows, refer to the definitions in Table 2.C.
