*
Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP) requires ca. 1.4 GB memory. Automation Building Tool (ABT) requires ca. 1-2 GB memory.
Uncompressed project data requires an additional 0.5 MB memory per data point (reference value). The performance depends
on available memory.
The indicated values apply to a host installation. For stable and reliable operation of VMware, CPU and
RAM requirements are higher.
The recommended values allow for larger projects (up to 12 PXC3 with 8 rooms each per ABT project). For
details, see chapter
Compatibility with Operating Systems .
16 GB RAM are recommended if two Automation Building Tool (ABT) satellite projects are opened at the
same time, and if in ABT two PXC3 are to be online at the same time.
Configure SSDs for a long life. See Microsoft documentation.
ABT projects require ca. 2.5 times more memory per PXC3 room automation station compared to PXC
automation stations.
Parallel port or USB port for license dongle.
For online functions you need:
● LonWorks interface card or LonWorks dongle
● Ethernet interface
