Version: 5.2

System Requirements

  • .NET 8 (will be installed if necessary)

  • hardware: We strongly recommend to run server applications on adequate hardware (multi-core processor, 4 GB RAM min., Raid-5-HDD). Should the database server run on the same system, 8 GB RAM is minimum

  • Operating system: We recommend Microsoft Windows Server operating systems. Client operating systems (64 bit) can also be used for test purposes.

    The following Windows versions are supported:

    • Windows Server 2016 x64
    • Windows Server 2019 x64
    • Windows Server 2022 x64
    • Windows 10 x64
    • Windows 10 IoT x64
    • Windows 11 x64
note

A web browser is required to display the OPC Router 5 Management. Supported web browsers are:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge

In the versions currently available at the time of the OPC Router 5 release. (At least version 100)

note

Please check your local firewall if a connection to the OPC Router 5 Management is possible. By default the OPC Router Management is installed on port 5000 (http://localhost:5000).

If this port is already in use, the next free port is used. (e.g. 5001)

warning

Attention: Productive operation with client operating systems: Due to technical limitations, inray explicitly recommends operation with server operating systems. Client operating systems, such as Windows 10, may experience unwanted behavior, unplanned reboots, and incomplete records due to unforeseen forced and forced upgrades. Other technical limitations, such as the limited number of incoming TCP / IP connections, especially in large projects, lead to downtime of connections.

Please inform yourself before installation, if an operation of the OPC router on a client operating system meets their requirements and is compatible with the license right of Microsoft.

tip

The OPC Router uses an internal database to display data transfers in real time and historically. For optimal performance the OPC Router should be run on a system with a multi-core CPU and at least 4 GB RAM.
