Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP) requires ca. 1.4 GB memory. Automation Building Tool (ABT)
requires ca. 1-2 GB memory. Uncompressed project data requires an additional 0.5 MB
memory per data point (reference value). The performance depends on available memory.
The indicated values apply to a host installation. For stable and reliable
operation of VMware, CPU and RAM requirements are higher.
The recommended values allow for larger projects (up to 12 PXC3 with 8 rooms
each per ABT project). For details, see chapter
Compatibility with Operating
Systems .
16 GB RAM are recommended if two Automation Building Tool (ABT) satellite
projects are opened at the same time, and if in ABT two PXC3 are to be online
at the same time.
Configure SSDs for a long life. See Microsoft documentation.
ABT projects require ca. 2.5 times more memory per PXC3 room automation
station compared to PXC automation stations.
Parallel port or USB port for license dongle.
