PLC workstation installation process This article describes installation of PLC workstation using automated installation process. This installation process uses kickstart script and RPM repository for client installation. Installation steps follows.
Installation preparation
Kickstart script generation There is script on kernel which generates kickstart script for PLC station being installed. Run /var/ftp/gen_kickstart <WPID> <LAST_IP_NUM>
WPID - workplace ID LAST_IP_NUM - last number from IP address
Example: We will install workplace A1, IP address will be 10.1.1.25. To generate kickstart script run:
/var/ftp/gen_kickstart a1 25
PLC client configuration preparation This is optional step. You can prepare clients' configuration. You have to copy configuration file to directory on kernel. All prepared configurations has to be copied to directory /usr/local/plc/workstations/XX/etc, where XX is workplace ID. It is possible to add other files to XX directory and subdirectories.
Subdirectories: etc - configuration files bin - binary files
Content of these directories will overwrite default content from installation.
Installation
There are several installations media. Mostly used is USB flash disk. If there is problem with boot from USB, it is possible to boot from CDROM. For installation media creation contact PLC support.
Boot from installation media. Boot menu will look similar like this:
