RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


A) SOFTWARE

> PC-compatible computer with 
	- processor Pentium 1.4 GHz or higher recommended
	- 512 MB of RAM or higher recommended
	- 300 MB of hard disk space

> Operating system : Windows 2000 or Windows XP

	  cause problems on Help On Line !
	- Service Pack 2 or higher recommended.
	  You can download it from www.microsoft.com web site.
	- This version is NOT compatible with Windows Vista



B) FIRMWARE

> Update Firmware version of Twido with  V 4.10 placed in the Firmware folder 

> We ask you to STOP any use of the firmware V 4.0 (and only this one) resulting in a
> potential safety issue.

> All previous firmware versions are available in the same folder

For more details refers to the end of this file in the Nota Bene1 and Nota Bene2 section.


**************************************************************************************


INSTALLATION

> To install TwidoSuite on your computer, it is recommended to have administrator 
rights on your computer.


**************************************************************************************


REGISTRATION

> This Software must be registered after a 30 days evaluated period. 
  The registration is free.


**************************************************************************************


File Name Limitation

> This Version will not allow file names with more than 32 characters


**************************************************************************************


Upload from PLC : "application can be seen as different"

> TwidoSuite allows to upload and save an application from the PLC.
(task : Project -> Open an existing project -> from Controller)

> Even created with TwidoSoft, 
this application can be saved on the computer as a TwidoSuite application

> Later, if you connect the PLC that has this application, 
with the computer that has also this application, you can get the warning message :
"The TwidoSuite and the PLC applications are different : immediate connection is impossible."
(task : Program -> Debug -> Connect)

> This can happen if the application was created with an old version of TwidoSoft (< V3.2).

> To fix this, you just need to transfer the application from the PLC to the Controller.

> The functionnalities of the application are unchanged.

Nota Bene1: TWIDO CONTROLLERS OPERATING SYSTEM INFORMATION

This CD contains the files of TWIDO controllers operating 
systems for version v3.0 to v4.10
These operating systems can be transferred by means of the OS 
loader, available from the launcher of TWIDOSUITE.
In order to obtain the latest product functions it is 
recommended to transfer the most recent compatible version 
(latest software version = SV).
Be carefull, it is recommended not to transfer a version
less than V2.0 on a PLC with a more recent version. 

The compatibility table below shows the different OS software
versions associated with the technology bases of controllers:

TABLE:

Technology Base			  	Software Versions

Compact:
TWDLCAA10DRF	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCAA16DRF 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCAA24DRF 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCAA40DRF	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCAE40DRF	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCDA40DRF	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLCDE40DRF	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10

Modular:
TWDLMDA20DUK 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLMDA20DTK 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLMDA20DRT 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLMDA40DUK 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10
TWDLMDA40DTK 	SV3.0, SV3.2, sv3.4, sv3.5, sv4.10

Extreme:
TWDLEDCK1	SV3.6

OS file example:

 The binary file name of the TWDLCAA16DRF SV3.0 controller 
 will be: TWIDO16_V0300P00.TFW;
 The binary file name of the TWDLMDA40DUK (or TK) SV3.0 
 controller will be: TWIDO16_V0300P00.TFW.

The OS loader allows to choose the (TWIDO) target controller
binary file as well as the requested software version.

Compatibility is always given in incremental order of the OS
index.

Reminder:

Compatibility information: 
Hardware: All hardware have similar behavior
Version: full compatibility from SV3.00 to SV4.10

Nota Bene2: TWIDOSUITE's FUNCTIONAL LEVELS INFORMATIONS

All the versions of TwidoSoft and TwidoSuite are compatible with all OS versions.
The functional level synchronise the functionalities available on 
PLC’s OS version and TwidoSoft/TwidoSuite version.

If you use the automatic level “the very lowest”, 
you define the minimum configuration that matches your needs.

If you use the automatic level “the very highest”, 
you get the most of your controller possibilities.

Choosing Manual allows you to select between different levels, 
when you know precisely what you want :
If you use a level 1.0, you can work with any controller OS version.
If you use a level 2.0, you need a controller OS version >= 2.0
If you use a level 2.5, you need a controller OS version >= 2.5
If you use a level 3.0, you need a controller OS version >= 3.0
If you use a level 3.2, you need a controller OS version >= 3.2
If you use a level 3.5, you need a controller OS version >= 3.4
If you use a level 4.10, you need a controller OS version >= 4.10

Remark : If you use a level 3.6 Extreme, 
you need a controller OS version = 3.6 dedicated to Extreme PLC (and vice versa)

Remark : if you want to use a controller OS version N.i, you must
Use a functional level <= N.i !
