Introduction Install the project runtime software on a Windows Embedded device Install EmbeddedView on a Windows Embedded Standard computer, or install CEView on a Windows Embedded Compact device, in order to use it as a project runtime server and/or project thin client. If EmbeddedView or CEView is preinstalled on the target device, you may skip this entire task. Many manufacturers preinstall the project runtime software on their devices, as part of a larger InduSoft Web Studio package.
Before you begin this task, you must have already installed the full InduSoft Web Studio software on your computer, either from the installation disc or from the downloadable installer, because the redistributable EmbeddedView and CEView software is included in the InduSoft Web Studio program folder. For more information, see Install the full InduSoft Web Studio software on page 16. To install and run EmbeddedView or CEView, you must have: • A Windows Embedded-compatible computer or device (hereafter called "the target device"); • One of the following Windows Embedded operating systems: • Windows Embedded Standard:
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (LTSC/LTSB version only) • Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro • Windows Embedded Standard 7 Service Pack 1 • Windows Embedded Compact: • Windows Embedded Compact 7 • Available storage (hard drive or non-volatile memory): • 1 GB for EmbeddedView • 512 MB for CEView • Available memory (RAM): More storage might be required depending on your project size. • 512 MB for EmbeddedView • 256 MB for CEView More memory might be required depending on your project size. • An Ethernet or Wi-Fi network adapter. The following items are optional but recommended: • A USB port; and • Serial COM ports and adapters, to be used for direct communication with PLCs and other devices.
This is optional because many newer device protocols use Ethernet communication instead of serial communication. Installing EmbeddedView or CEView on a target device is actually a two-part procedure. First, you will copy the Remote Agent utility to the target device and then run it. Remote Agent allows you to connect from the project development environment to the target device. And then, through this connection, you will install the rest of the EmbeddedView or CEView software. To install EmbeddedView or CEView: 1. Turn on the target device, and then make sure your development workstation can connect to the device using either serial or Ethernet communication.
You will be asked to specify the connection type in later steps. If Remote Agent is preinstalled on the target device, it will run automatically on startup and you may skip the next step. Many manufacturers preinstall Remote Agent on their devices, as part of a larger InduSoft Web Studio package. 2. Copy the Remote Agent utility to the target device, and then run it: Page 22
