HEIDENHAIN PWM 20 - Manual (Page 12)

November 2014 Commissioning 13
3 Commissioning
3.1 System requirements
 IBM PC or 100 % compatible PC
 Dual-core processor with a clock frequency > 2 GHz
 RAM > 2 GB
 Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8 (32 / 64 bits) operating system
 Free space on hard disk > 200 MB
3.2 Description of the hardware
The phase-angle measuring unit PWM 20 or the PCI interface card IK 215 are required to run the
ATS software.
The PWM 20 replaces the IK 215 entirely. PWM 20 + ATS V2.4 feature all functions of the
IK 215. Improvements of the ATS software functions are focused on the PWM 20. Certain
functions - such as inspection of incremental and DRIVE CLiQ interfaces, feed-through mode
and various mounting wizards - are only supported by the PWM 20.
Note
If these requirements are not met, this may lead to very slow data processing or even to
error messages of the ATS software, indicating that certain functions cannot be performed.
A computer with USB interface 2.0 and ATS software is required to run the PWM 20.
System requirements for PWM 20 and IK 215: see respective operating instructions.
Note
For more information on specifications, supported interfaces, hardware installation,
etc., please refer to the respective commissioning instructions.
Note
After using the device, attach the protective caps to protect the electronics and the
connector contacts from electrostatic charge and from contamination!
