ClearSCADA 2017 R2 Operating System Support

[sbeadle1]

📖 Home  Back  
Systems running on server hardware need to use server operating systems such as Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks and so are better suited for larger ClearSCADA systems with more than two clients.

Systems running on desktop hardware should run desktop operating systems such as Windows 8 or Windows 7. Desktop operating systems are designed for user interaction on the computer on which they are installed.

Desktop operating systems should not be used for servers with more than two clients as the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.

Refer to the following table for supported Operating System versions:

	32-Bit	64-Bit
Desktop Hardware	Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 8 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - Service Pack 1	Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 8 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - Service Pack 1
Server Hardware	Nil	Windows Server 2016 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2012 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2008 R2 (Standard and Enterprise editions) - Service Pack 1

ClearSCADA 2017 R2 requires Internet Explorer 11 for both software installation and fully-functional web-based operation. The new WebX User Interface available from ClearSCADA 2015 R1 is accessible from any HTML5 browser for viewing of Trends, Alarm Lists, Event Lists, and Queries from various types of phone, tablet or laptop.

Windows 10 versions supported are limited to those within Microsoft's support policy for Pro and Enterprise at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

Web Server: The Web server available in ClearSCADA 2017 is 64-bit only and therefore not available to install on 32-bit computers. This feature must be installed on the server(s) to use the new WebX User Interface.




The original integrated WebX is still available for both 32-bit and 64-bit computers.
