11-4 Performance and Capacity Specifications
Application Usage
Server configuration memory allocations assume Server services only.
Client memory usage already includes the ProcessLogix Client
Applications. However, most applications can be run on either the
Servers or Station Clients. On minimum to typical systems, these
applications may be run on the Server Platforms. On performance
systems, the Servers should be dedicated to running only the Server
Services. On these systems, when possible, all applications should be
run from the Client stations.
Using the Platform Requirements Tables 11.B and 11.C as a base for
memory usage, add on the memory requirements for each of the
applications from the Application RAM Usage. Table
11.C is intended
to be used on a regular basis.

TIP
Failure to add additional memory may result in
degradation of system performance.
