Set up the FactoryTalk Network Directory (for distributed applications).These steps are described in brief, below.The RSView Supervisory Edition installation CD contains the FactoryTalk AutomationPlatform, RSView SE, RSLinx Enterprise, and RSLinx Classic software, and includesinstructions to guide you through the installation process.For more information about installing and setting up the RSView SE software, see theRSView Supervisory Edition Installation Guide.For more information about setting up the application run-time environment, see Chapter27, Deploying distributed applications and Chapter 28, Deployingstand-alone applications.Planning the layout of the networkThe layout of the network is extremely important to the design of a distributedapplication. The type and structure of the network can determine which roles participatinghost computers will play, including whether any of the servers will run as redundant pairs.If you are planning to deploy an application that consists of more than 10 computers, youmust run with a network domain controller.Do not run FactoryTalk Directory, or any other application software, on the same computer as aWindows ® domain controller.Applications that consist of 10 computers or fewer can be run in a Windows workgroup.In that case, all computers participating in a single application must be members of thesame Windows workgroup, and all must have administrative rights.Installing the FactoryTalk Automation PlatformRSView Supervisory Edition applications depend on FactoryTalk software, such as theFactoryTalk Directory, to run. You must install the FactoryTalk Automation Platformfirst, on any computer where you plan to install and run RSView SE software.If you plan to run only the FactoryTalk Directory on a computer, without any dependent software,install only the FactoryTalk Automation Platform on that computer.Following the FactoryTalk Automation Platform installation, the FactoryTalk DirectoryConfiguration Wizard runs, allowing you to set up FactoryTalk Local Directory,FactoryTalk Network Directory, or both directories.1-6
1 • GETTING STARTED• • • • •For information about options in the FactoryTalk Directory Configuration Wizard, see theRSView Supervisory Edition Installation Guide or the Installation Assistant on theRSView Supervisory Edition installation CD.Installing RSView Supervisory EditionIf you plan to create and run a stand-alone application, you must install the FactoryTalkAutomation Platform and the RSView SE software on the same computer. For a standaloneapplication, only data servers can be run on a separate computer.For a distributed application, you can choose to install all the RSView SE software, or justselected components, on participating computers. For example, you might install only theRSView SE client software on computers run by operators. Similarly, if you plan todistribute server loads across the application, you might choose to install only the RSViewSE Server software on selected, server computers.For more information about installing RSView, and about the system requirements forrunning the software, see the RSView Supervisory Edition Installation Guide.1 • PlaceholderInstalling the communications softwareHow you plan to obtain data for an application will determine the type of communicationssoftware you install. You can use the RSLinx ® software shipped with RSView SE, orother software and devices that support OPC (OLE for Process Control) communications.Some of the benefits of these different options are described below.For more information about setting up communications for an RSView SE application,Chapter 7, Setting up communications.For information about installing RSLinx, see the RSView Supervisory Edition InstallationGuide, and the RSLinx documentation.When to use RSLinx EnterpriseFor communications with Allen-Bradley local and remote devices, and particularly withControlLogix processors, RSView SE provides built-in support via RSLinx Enterprise.Use RSLinx Enterprise:• for best performance when communicating with large numbers of clients.• when information is being provided by a ControlLogix controller.• when alias topic shortcuts are not required.RSLinx Enterprise cannot perform online tasks such as uploading and downloading RSLogix ®5000 files to a controller. If you need to provide this capability, use RSLinx Classic.1-7
