Runtime Only Client Installation Requirements

This section describes the hardware and software requirements for a Runtime Only Client.

Before you install Plant SCADA, it is recommended that you install the latest updates from Microsoft® for your operating system and system software.

Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements for a Runtime Only Client are as follows.

The complexity of your pages such as the number of graphical animations and Cicode running in the background will impact your client CPU choice. It is recommended to use a higher performing PC with high clock speed when building complex user interfaces.

As a guide, the following will require high clock speed to maintain a client CPU load of less than 25% on a single core:

• HD user interface with 50 complex Genies

• UHD4K user interface with 100 complex Genies.

If the deployment feature is being used, the HDD needs to have the required space for the number of configured project versions + 2. You should remove unused project versions periodically to reduce HDD usage.

The suggested screen resolution supports lower and higher resolutions including 4K UHD (3840 x 2160). However, 4K UHD will require a high clock speed CPU. A multi-monitor client may also require a higher clock speed CPU and more memory.

Operating System Requirements

The following operating systems are supported (64-bit only):

• Windows 11 21H2 (or later)

• Windows 10 21H2 (or later)

• Windows 10 LTSC 1607 (or later)

• Windows Server 2016

• Windows Server 2019

• Windows Server 2022

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is required. It will be installed by Plant SCADA if not detected.

When .NET installation is complete, you may be prompted to restart your computer. If this occurs, you should initiate a restart before you continue.
