LLExec INtime
LLExec for Tenasys INtime usage instructions
Prerequisites
The INtime configuration must be done as follow (See official INtime documentation for details):
- Add a running virtual network interface (typically a ven0 interface within INtime must be configured to enable communication between Windows and INtime. Additionally a Windows bridge connection between Windows and INtime interfaces can be done)
- An ethernet capable network card assigned to INtime environment (optional)
- INtime Kernel Memory must be raised to a reasonable amount of MB to handle all plugins (Tested with 1024MB, also 256MB should be ok)
Tested on:
Windows 10 + INtime 6.4.20030.1 Patch Level 20030 + Intel Ethernet Connection I217V (INtime hpe driver ie1g - Vendor:8086 Device:153B)
Installation
- Extract the LLExec_x.y.z_INtime_bin.zip file into a windows folder of the INtime machine, let's say c:\data\plc
Execution
- Start the INtime Node on the machine.
- Launch "LLExecStart_INtime.exe" from windows (Desktop Icon). Without parameters it will load the default "LLExecINtime.conf" configuration file.
Optionally you can also:
- launch "LLExecStart_INtime.exe /LLEXEC_NO_START" and then launch manually LLExec.rta using INtime RT loader with optional LLExec command line parameters
- launch "LLExecStart_INtime.exe [name.conf]" passing a custom name of the configuration file to LLExec.
