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.
