System Requirements for KAS IDE and KAS Simulator

KAS IDE"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger and KAS Simulator are compatible with any PCPersonal Computer having the minimum following hardware:

Element	Description
Operating System	Microsoft® Windows® 7 SP1 (32 or 64-bit). For optimal performance, please be sure your operating system is fully updated with the latest patches.
Processor type	Intel® Pentium® M or equivalent processor at 1.5 GHz or greater.
Memory	1 GB RAM or greater (which is recommended for complex applications)
Storage	1 GB hard drive or compact flash space
Display	WXGA+ (1440 x 900) or higher-resolution monitor with 24-bit color. See Note #1 below.
Connectivity	1 EthernetEthernet is a large, diverse family of frame-based computer networking technologies that operate at many speeds for local area networks (LANs) port, at either 100Mbits/s or 1Gbits/s. See Note #2 below.
Web Browser	A modern web browser is required to access the web server and online help. We recommend Internet Explorer (IE9 or later, see Note #3) , Mozilla FireFox , or Google Chrome .

• 1. Better results are achieved with OpenGLOpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language, cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics. The Softscope uses this API to implement graphical manipulations and 3D cards.
  2. A 100Mb network is required in order to allow the IDE to RuntimeIn computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time). Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running communication to work in all conditions. The AKDWorkBench AutoTuner and Scope both require 100Mb of bandwidthIn computer networking, bandwidth often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s, for example, network throughput. The reason for the connection of data rate with the term bandwidth is that the limit to the data rate of a physical communication link is related to its bandwidth in hertz to function properly.
  3. IE9 should be considered a minimum. Later versions of the browser are more compliant with web standards and afford better performance and compatibility.

• See the topic Connect Remotely for information about the ports used by KAS which may need to be opened to support connecting from an external network.

• KAS IDE and KAS Simulator should not be installed on a Kollmorgen Industrial PC (PAC"Programmable Automation Controller" PAC is a compact controller that combines the features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC). A PAC thus provides not only the reliability of a PLC, but also the task flexibility and computing power of a PC. Additionally, because they function and communicate over popular network interface protocols, PACs are able to transfer data from the machines they control to other machines and components in a networked control system). The IDE and Simulator are for use on PCs only.
