PCO software consists of six sub-components that you can install
individually:
•
PCO Configurator
•
PCO Library Manager
•
PanelView screens
•
FIX screens
•
Factory Link screens
•
RSView screens
Note: Refer to Appendix F of the Process Configuration and
Operation Software User Manual (publication 6723-6.5.1) for a
detailed listing of the files installed on your hard drive during the
PCO software installation process.
Before You Begin
Before you install your PCO software, be sure that you have the
following software components installed:
•
Allen-Bradley INTERCHANGE DH+ and/or DF1 drivers
Important: PCO uses INTERCHANGE software;
INTERCHANGE must be installed and running
whenever you attempt to communicate with the
PLC processor. Refer to the end of this
document for tips on running and configuring
INTERCHANGE if you do not already have it
set up on your system.
•
Microsoft Excel 5.0 or Excel 95
•
OLE2 DLL files
PCO installs these files automatically if it does not find them on
your system, or if it finds an older version of them.
•
6200 Series Import/Export executable files
These files are stored in the target directory if PCO setup does not
find them there. Normally, these files come with your 6200
Series software.
Note: You can also use AI software. However, for the purposes
of this Quick Start, we will be using 6200 software.
Refer to the Process Configuration and Operation Software User
Manual (publication 6723-6.5.1) for more information on the
purpose of each of these software components.
