New Features and Enhancements

Activation-Based Licensing

This version of ABTCP OI Server supports both activation based licensing and legacy licensing schemes. Refer to the OI Server Manager Help for additional information about Licensing. The Licensing components (License Manager and License Server) are the selectable features during the OI Core install.

Multi-Instance Support

With the Professional or higher level license installed, multiple instances of OI Server can be configured for different types of PLCs. Each instance runs in separate process. This allows load balancing, if the application contains large number of items.

Co-Existence with Previous DAServer

The OI Server can co-exist with its predecessor DASABTCP DAServer on the same machine, along with other prior released DAServers. With the Professional or higher level license installed, both OI Server and DAServer/DIObject of the same protocol family can run simultaneously.

Licensing

As of this release, licensing in the OI Server is categorized into either the Standard or Professional level. Refer to the OI Server Manager Help for additional information about features available in each level of licensing.

To install the OI Server, double-click Setup-OI-ABTCP.msi. When setup is complete, the message "Setup was successful" is displayed.

Silent Installation

The ABTCP OI Server supports silent (command line) installation. This features enables non-interactive installation of the ABTCP OI Server.

Silent Installation Syntax

The basic syntax of the silent installation command consists of the full path to the Silent_Install_Setup.bat file (typically the DVD drive designation on your local computer), and the command line switch for silent install/uninstall.

<DVD>: CD-ABTCP>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /<argument>

The usage instructions can be retrieved by the following command line:

<DVD>: CD-ABTCP>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /?

The above command line returns the supported operations - install and uninstall. The /install and /uninstall switches completely disable the graphical user interface of Silent_Install_Setup.bat. There is no input from or feedback to the end user.

To install the ABTCP OI Server (Silent Install)

1. Open a command prompt using Run as administrator
2. Run the batch file set up with the /install switch.

   C: CD-ABTCP>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /install

3. Wait for the system to display the confirmation message - Silent installation completed successfully.

To uninstall the ABTCP OI Server (Silent Uninstall)
