Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements for an Industrial Graphics Server are as follows:

  Each client session requires ~200 Mb of memory, depending upon graphics complexity.

• HDD: 500 Mb and space for the project’s Industrial Graphics.

• Client connections: 10

  Additional clients can be supported by increasing the number of CPU’s, CPU speed, and Memory.

  Note: The recommended requirements are suitable for a system with ten clients, browsing pages with approximately 40 dashboard/charting components with ~250 I/O tags on the page.
