1.1.4 GettingStarted
iX Developer i
s installed on a development PC, where projects are developed,
designed and c
ompiled. The project is then run in an operator panel or PC to
observe and c
ontrol a controller (or a group of controllers).
Target
iX Developer projects can be targeted for
• An operator panel from Beijer Electronics
• A PC (Industrial PC) from Beijer Electronics
• A standard PC with Microsoft Windows 7 SP1
To enhance readability, only operator panel will be mentioned sometimes, when
all different targets actually could be included.
The functions in iX Developer depend on the model of operator panel used.
Some differences exist between the targets, for example:
BeijerElectronics, MAEN831P
