Installing WinCon Server
Installing WinCon Server
If you are upgrading WinCon, please refer to section Uninstalling or Upgrading WinCon.
Older versions of WinCon must be uninstalled prior to installing a new version.
In the local configuration (i.e. one PC), WinCon Server must be installed before WinCon
Client. As described in section Local and Remote Configurations, WinCon Server runs on
the user's PC. If you intend to generate real-time code for WinCon Client, please ensure
that the appropriate versions of MATLAB, Simulink, and Real-Time Workshop, as well as
RTX (for Windows NT/2000/XP) and Microsoft Visual C++ are installed on the system.
The installation steps for WinCon Server are as follow:
Step1. Insert the WinCon Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Step2. In the Windows Explorer window, double-click on D:\WinCon Server
3_3\SETUP.EXE to launch the WinCon Server installer. If your CD-ROM is not
drive D, then substitute the appropriate drive letter.
Step3. Follow the installation instructions. Make sure the WinCon Server serial
number has been entered correctly. The serial number is supplied to you on a
separate form.
Step4. Choose the Setup Type corresponding to the configuration you desire.
Typical is recommended. In the Typical configuration, all the components
necessary to run WinCon Server and to generate real-time code from a Simulink
diagram are installed. In the Compact configuration, WinCon Server runs
without the possibility of generating real-time code. In the Remote configuration,
WinCon Server can build real-time code for a remote WinCon Client (i.e. located
on another machine). For example, the latter configuration is standard for the
Wireless Ethernet Embedded Control System (WEECS).
Step5. Choose to restart your computer LATER if you intend to install WinCon
Controls. Proceed to the installation of WinCon Controls, as described in Section
Installing WinCon Controls, on the same PC. If you do not intend to install
WinCon Controls, but choose to install WinCon Client on the same PC (i.e. local
configuration), also elect to restart your computer later and proceed to the
installation of WinCon Client, as described in Section Installing WinCon Client.
Step6. Choose to restart your computer NOW if you do not intend to install
WinCon Controls or WinCon Client on the same PC. Proceed to the WinCon
Client installation, as described in Section Installing WinCon Client, on the other
PC.
