4.4 Installation
B&R preinstalls the required Windows 7 version on the desired storage device (e.g. CompactFlash card, etc.). All
of the drivers required for operation (graphics, network, etc.) are also installed in this process.
4.5 Drivers
Current drivers for all approved operating systems are available in the Downloads section of the B&R website
).
Information:
Required drivers can only be downloaded from the B&R website, not from manufacturer websites.
4.6 Special considerations, limitations
•
Windows 7 does not contain a Beep.sys file, which means that an audible signal is not sounded when
pressing a key, for example.
•
There is currently no support for the Windows 7 system rating (although this does not apply to PP500,
APC2100, APC510, APC511, APC910, PPC2100 or PPC800 devices with an NM10 chipset).
4.7 Supported display resolutions
In accordance with Microsoft requirements, Windows 7 requires XGA resolution (1024 x 768) or higher in order to
allow unimpeded operation of the Windows user interface (including system dialog boxes, etc.). A lower resolution
can be selected for applications.
