This section provides step-by-step instruction for installing the Axxon PSIM software to the Monitoring Workplace.

Note

Note the following features during the installation of the Axxon PSIM software:

  • Install the Axxon PSIM software on a clean Windows OS (see the Operating system requirements section).
  • To install the Axxon PSIM software, administrator rights are required.
  • Install the Axxon PSIM software in the directory, which is specified by default in the corresponding dialog window of the installation program (that is, C:\Program Files\PSIM). We highly don't recommend changing the name of the logical disk and the directory of the installation program.
  • Versions of the Axxon PSIM software installed in the configuration of the Client and Server/Administrator's workstation must be the same. Otherwise, we don't guarantee their proper cooperation.

To install the Axxon PSIM—Monitoring Workplace software, do the following:

  1. Unpack the archive downloaded from the official website of the company, in accordance with the manual in the Getting ready for Axxon PSIM installation section. The destination folder displays the content of the distribution kit.

  2. Run the setup.exe executable file designed to start the Axxon PSIM installation program.
    As a result, the dialog window for selecting the language of the installation program is displayed.

    Attention!

    When you install Axxon PSIM on the OS Windows 8 and the OS Windows Server 2012, you must install Microsoft.Net Framework 8.0 or later. Otherwise, it is installed along with Axxon PSIM. 

  3. Select the language of the installation program from the list and click the Install button.

    As a result, the dialog window for selecting the type of installation is displayed.
  4. Select the Workplace for monitoring installation type.

  5. Set the Enable full installation log checkbox (increases the time of the software installation) if you want to write all software installation events to the log file.

    Note

    When you install the software, the event logging is performed in the PSIMSetup.log log file. To collect log files, we recommend using the Support.exe utility (see The utility for collecting configuration data on servers and RWS for the Technical Support section).
  6. Click the Next button.
    The dialog window for selecting the components for installation is displayed.
  7. Set the checkboxes next to the components that you want to install (you can expand the lists by clicking ). Consider the following peculiarities when you select the components:
    1. We recommend installing all provided components—the Axxon PSIM installer sets checkboxes next to everything required for proper operation by default.
    2. To operate in Axxon PSIM, you must install Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 or later. Usually it is bundled with Windows OS and doesn't require separate installation. If you don't have it, then .Net 4.6 is offered for installation at Prerequisites—make sure to set the checkbox. For more information about Microsoft.Net Framework, see the official documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/.

      Note

      If this method of language installation isn't suitable, later you can install each language separately (see Installing the language). After the installation, use the tweaki.exe utility to switch languages (see Switching languages in the Axxon PSIM Software System).

  8. Click the Install button.
    After that, the automatic installation of the selected components is performed.
