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.

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.

For online functions you need:

  • LonWorks interface card or LonWorks dongle
  • Ethernet interface
  • Connection cable for automation stations
  • USB port for P-bus BIM and Discovery Network Tool (DNT) connection
