Installing the I/O Server Infrastructure
The I/O Server Infrastructure installation package is supplied as a self-extracting archive
(IOServerInfrastructure.exe) and can be downloaded from Klinkmann’s web site.
To install the I/O Server Infrastructure from the self-extracting archive, run the
IOServerInfrastructure.exe and proceed as directed by the I/O Server Infrastructure
Setup program.
To uninstall the I/O Server Infrastructure, start Control Panel, select “Add/Remove
Programs” and select the “IO Server Infrastructure” from the list of available software
products. Click on “Add/Remove…” and proceed as directed by the UnInstallShield
program.
Note: The I/O Server Infrastructure installation will be rejected if Wonderware FS2000
Common Components are already installed on same computer. The I/O Server
Infrastructure does not support using SPA Server as a Windows Service and remote
access to SPA Bus Server (when DDE/SuiteLink Client is not located on same computer
as SPA Bus Server).
Configuring the SPA Server
After the SPA Server is initially installed, a small amount of configuration is required.
Configuring the Server automatically creates a SPA.CFG file, which holds all the topic
definitions, entered, as well as the communication port configurations. This file will
automatically be placed in the same directory in which SPA.EXE is located unless the
path where the configuration file will be placed is a specified by the /Configure/Server
Settings… command.
To perform the required configurations, start up the SPA. If the Server starts up as an
icon, double-click on the icon to open the server's window. To access the commands
used for the various configurations, open the /Configure menu:
Server Settings Command
A number of parameters that control the internal operation of the Server can be set. In
most cases, the default settings for these parameters provide a good performance and do
not require changing. However, they can be changed to fine-tune the Server for a specific
environment.
