It is strongly recommended that systems running on server hardware need to use the Windows Server operating system. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks and so are better suited for larger SCADA Server or Web Server systems with more than two clients.
Systems running on desktop hardware should run desktop operating systems such as Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Desktop operating systems are designed for user interaction on the computer on which they are installed.
Refer to the following table for supported Operating System versions:
32-Bit (ViewX client and SCADA Server) | 64-Bit (ViewX client, SCADA Server and Web Server) | |
---|---|---|
Desktop Hardware | Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Version 1809 and above. Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions) |
Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Version 1809 and above. Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions) |
Server Hardware | Nil | Windows Server 2019 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2016 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard and Datacenter editions) Windows Server 2012 (Standard and Datacenter editions) |
Use of Geo SCADA 2020 Legacy WebX requires Internet Explorer 11 for web-based operation. The new Virtual ViewX User Interface is accessible from any up-to-date HTML5 browser on various types of desktop, laptop, tablet or large format phone.
