ABT Go is a mobile tool for commissioning and maintenance tasks of Siemens devices used in building
automation and control systems.
Operating system Version
Android Version 4.4 KitKat and above
iOS* iOS 10 and above
* Do not minimize ABT Go and make sure the device remains unlocked for longer running tasks such as
generating a report.
For Android devices download ABT Go from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siemens.abtgo&hl=en
For iOS devices download ABT Go from the Apple Store:

23.2.7 Compatibility with VMware (virtual infrastructure)
Product Version VMware version
Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP), ABT/SSA, and other
additional tools
V6.2 Update 3 VMware Workstation 15
23.2.8 Compatibility of software/libraries on the same PC
All Desigo software and LibSets (standard application libraries) must be on the same computer and must
have the same version.
Mixing different versions of PX libraries on devices is not allowed within the same application.
You can install Desigo CC, RXT10.5 (if required), Desigo Xworks Plus (XWP) and ABT on one PC in any
order. But you must install the libraries at the end.
Installing Desigo software from different systems versions on the same PC is not supported. Check
operating system compatibility prior to installing.
23.2.9 Hardware and firmware compatibility
Desigo hardware and firmware is only partially compatible to products from earlier versions in the same
Desigo project runtime system.
BACnet peer-to-peer communication between Desigo PX devices from the earliest version to the current
version is guaranteed.
Restrictions
As soon as an automation station or a system controller with the newest Desigo firmware is used in a
runtime system, all operating clients and Desigo Control Point must be upgraded to the same version.
Otherwise, only limited operation is available.
Not all Desigo PX devices in the field can be upgraded to the newest firmware version.
For information on the hardware and firmware compatibility of the Desigo CC management platform, see
Desigo CC System Description
(A6V1041550).
