We decided to try to use our Windows-based PLC-related software in virtual machines so that we do not have to migrate everything because of hardware change. Myung created a Virtual Terminal Server for us, halldts1.jlab.org on 28-subnet. Note that we already had License Server on a virtual machine. To login to this machicne I use rdesktop -g 1800x1000 -d JLAB halldts1, and the hallduser has admin-privileges on this machine.

Installation of Rockwell Automation software on VM

  • Download RSLinx Enterprise from Rockwell Automation support site as an Upgrade. For downloading all these "upgrades" I use Joshua Ballard as my name and the serial numbers from the box that Mark used to have.
  • Unzip the file, and Run As Administrator the setup.exe file. We need to install FactoryTalk Service Platform from the installation menu first, then install the RSLinx Enterprise itself.
  • Restart the virtual machine.
  • Downland RSNetWorks for EtherNet. Got an error message about "Qualify for Upgrade". Canceled.
  • Download RS5000 Pro . Unzip it and Run As Administrator the setup.exe file.
