Section 1 Planning
Introduction
This section describes the platform (hardware) and software requirements needed to
successfully run Process Portal software along with general and special
considerations.
Considerations
It is always recommended that server applications be placed on separate nodes.
Combining server and client functionality in one node can result in increased
client functionality response times when bulk configuration changes or large
retrieval requests for historical data are made.
When more than one monitor is configured, 128 megabytes of RAM must be
added for each additional screen.
Refer to the appropriate installation and configuration instruction manuals for
each Connect product to determine the correct control network interface
requirements.
Refer to the appropriate installation and configuration instruction manuals for
each Connect product to determine any specific hardware/software
requirements.
Installation Types
There are four different installation types of Process Portal:
Client.
Server.
Standalone.
Independent.
WBPEEUI220793D0 17
Client Section 1 Planning
Client
The client installation requires Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, or XP software
to be installed. Client installations cannot run Process Portal servers or mirror sites
and do not require IIS or SQL server software.
Server
The server installation requires Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, or XP software,
SQL Server 2000, and IIS software to be installed. Server installation is for nodes
running a configuration server, historian server, Real Time Data Server (RTDS), or
mirror database. The Server installation also supports client functionality.
Standalone
The standalone installation is for a single standalone (nonredundant) node. The
standalone installation requires Windows XP, SQL Server 2000, and IIS to be
installed on the node. This node supports running a configuration server, historian,
RTDS, and mirror site on a single node along with client functionality.
Independent
The independent installation requires Windows Server 2003, SQL Server, and IIS
software to be installed for the server node and Windows XP for the client nodes.
The independent server node includes the configuration server, historian server, and
RTDS server software on a single node. Up to seven independent clients are
supported and do not require SQL server or IIS software since they do not support
running servers.
The independent option will automatically create server and alarm and event
configuration objects during the system install.
Features
Refer to Table 1 for different Process Portal features and their characteristics.
18 WBPEEUI220793D0
Section 1 Planning Node Requirements
Feature Characteristic/Value
System (servers and / or clients) 60 nodes maximum (only one configuration server per system).
Client Nodes Up to 60 clients per system maximum.
Non-auxiliary (or full) clients Up to 30 per system.
Auxiliary clients It is recommend that all clients be installed as Auxiliary Clients.
Primary RTDS nodes Up to 15 per system.
Primary Historian nodes Up to 5 per system.
Node Requirements
Node requirements for Process Portal applications are intended for new system
purchases or expansions for existing systems. Current users of Process Portal
B1.2 performing software upgrades may continue to use their existing hardware
platforms. However, some system performance decrease may be seen due to
increased system demand from applications such as the Microsoft OS. ABB
requires that client nodes are to be a minimum of 1 Ghz processor and upgraded
to 512 megabytes of ram.
Refer to Table 2 for specific hardware requirements when having a single Process
Portal application on a node.

Process Portal
Additional Hardware Comment
Server Application
Specification
Additional Considerations
The following applies to all the Process Portal applications:
One other server application, the Function Block Server, is optionally available
for installation in the system. This server application should be installed in
nodes that have the RTDS application installed. Redundant Function Block
Server applications should be installed in nodes that have the Redundant RTDS
application installed. Only one Function Block Server application is needed per
system. Recommendations for RTDS nodes are unaffected by the inclusion of
the Function Block Server application on the same node.
Other ABB applications such as Produce IT Batch and Inform IT as well as
third party applications may apply additional load on the node requiring
additional node resources (CPU speed, RAM, hard disk capacity, etc.).
Therefore, they should be loaded on separate nodes.
Listed hard disk size for the historian is nominal; actual hard disk size will vary
depending upon the amount of historical data and event collection required.
This is a function of storage rate and length of time before archival. Tools for
calculating the required hard disk space size are included on the installation
CD.
22 WBPEEUI220793D0
Section 1 Planning Network Architecture Recommendations
Unless stated differently, the hard disk sizes must include 1 Gbyte free space on
the OS partition and 1 Gbyte free space on the Process Portal partition.
Composer Server can never be installed on the same node along with Process
Portal RTDS and should not be installed on the same node along with Process
Portal Historian Server.
For Process Portal systems using domains, the domain controllers are required
to be machines that do not run Process Portal software.
TC05983A
WBPEEUI220793D0 23
Redundant System Section 1 Planning
Redundant System
A Process Portal system can achieve network level redundancy by using two
separate physical networks and two NICs for each node (Figure 2).
TC05984A
In order for Process Portal to function correctly, a dual NIC configuration must
make both network connections appear as a singe IP address. It is vital that Intel
cards and Intel PROSet software be used for proper operation. Multiple
configurations are as follows.
Configuration One
Hardware\Software configuration:
Cisco Catalyst XL switches (C3548-XL) with Spanning Tree enabled.
Intel PRO/100 S server adapters (two per machine).
Intel PROSet software (version 6.4.0.0), set to switch fault tolerant mode.
One NIC from each computer needs to be connected to each of two Cisco switches
(Figure 2). In testing, the Cisco switches were connected via an optical uplink cable.
The communication, between the switches and the computers, needs to be
configured for 100 MHz and full-duplex (set on the computer and the switch).
24 WBPEEUI220793D0
Section 1 Planning Dual NIC System with a Separate Control Network
The Intel PROSet software on each computer must be configured to have all NICs
connected to the first switch as Preferred Primary. The NICs connected to the
second switch should be configured as Preferred Secondary.
Configuration Two
Hardware/Software configuration:
Hirschmann Rail Switches (RS2-TX/TX).
Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapters (Two per machine).
Intel PROSet Software (version 6.4.0.0), set to switch fault tolerant mode.
This configuration can use 24 nodes and 10 Hirschmann Rail Switches. Each node
connected to two Hirschmann switches. The Hirschmann switches are connected via
their proprietary optical backbone with multimode cable. The communication
between the switches and the nodes is configured for 100 Mb and full-duplex (set on
the node and the switch). The Intel PROSet software, on each node, is configured to
have the Preferred Primary NIC connected to the Hirschmann switch with the even
numbered IP address. The NICs connected to the odd numbered Hirschmann switch
are configured as Preferred Secondaries.
The Hirschmann switches are connected with multimode optical cable with SC
connectors, and the connectors are to be disassembled to create crossover cabling.
Each switch had its RM and standby switches in the off position.
TCP/IP
Each NIC must be configured with a separate fixed/static IP address. It is
recommended that the two cards be on separate subnets. A default gateway for
WBPEEUI220793D0 25
Redundant System Running AC800M Or Melody Section 1 Planning
TC05985A
either NIC should be avoided to prevent network traffic on both networks from
being sent out the default gateway.
A redundant Process Portal system requires a single IP address for dual NIC
usage.

accounts are granted rights and privileges indirectly by being assigned to these
groups. Table 4 shows each group name and its corresponding access rights.
WBPEEUI220793D0 27
Pre-defined User Accounts Section 1 Planning
Table 6 shows the domain group accounts created within a domain network
environment. Accounts are mapped to their equivalent local group on each
computer. Accounts are not directly granted any special privileges or access rights,
instead they are granted rights and privileges by being members of the local groups.
Accounts are not created within a workgroup network environment.

Section 1 Planning Software
Table 7 shows the domain user accounts created within a domain network
environment. Accounts are granted their required privileges and access rights by
being members of the stated domain groups. Accounts are not created within a
workgroup network environment.
Software
The following software recommendations for Process Portal should be considered:
Disk Defragmenter.
Antivirus.
Microsoft Office Application.
Refer to the following topics for more information.
WBPEEUI220793D0 29
Disk Defragmenter Section 1 Planning
Disk Defragmenter
Computer management practices such as Disk Defragmenter, either running on a
scheduled basis or manually started, is recommended. If this is performed on a
scheduled basis, it is recommended that the schedule be limited to low system
demand hours and not during scheduled database backups.
Antivirus
The use of virus protection and detection software must be based on a corporate
security policy that should be reviewed on a regular basis. This risk assessment, as
well as the proper implementation, configuration, installation, operation,
administration, and maintenance is the responsibility of the user of the Process
Portal system.
The selection of virus protection and detection software should be made in
conjunction with the corporate IT responsible group.

multiple networks. This is not needed for a single or redundant network system.
WBPEEUI220793D0 47
Network Settings Section 2 Third Party Software
The NIC to be used for Process Portal should be installed last. Installation order of
cards can be verified by running the following diagnostic at the command prompt:
Nbtstat -c
The first card listed is the most recently installed (this should be the NIC on which
Process Portal communications will run).
Binding Order
Binding order is critical to the correct function of Process Portal. DCOM
communication only works properly when run on the first card in the binding order.
For this reason the first NIC in the binding order must be the card on which Process
Portal will communicate.
Binding order can be modified via the Adapters and Bindings tab of the Advanced
Settings dialog (available from the Advanced menu option in Network and Dial-up
Connections).

Section 4 Upgrading Process Portal
B1.1 and B1.2
Introduction
A user may upgrade the Process Portal system on a node by node basis without
requiring the entire system to be shutdown all at one time. Refer to the individual
connect products instruction since not all connected system support an online
upgrade.
The online upgrade process requires redundant servers and should be performed
first on the redundant backup servers and last on the primary active servers in
order to avoid interruption in process control.
Upgrades must not be performed while any changes are being implemented or
that may be required in the system.
The upgrade process should only be performed by trained personnel and as in any
controls software upgrade process, there are certain cases where an online
upgrade is not recommended.
These cases include any processes or environments where there are safety
concerns to operation personnel or risk of loss of production during the upgrade
process due to errors encountered during upgrade.
Avoid online upgrades if the system is in heavy demand and cannot be
interrupted, loss of operation to the process is unacceptable, or no manual backup
facilities exist.
It is possible to halt the installation process between steps, but do not halt the
installation process part way through a step.
Unless otherwise instructed, restart the node if prompted to do so.

Section 7 Software License Entry
Introduction
This section provides information for the proper operation of the ABB software
products and features that require licenses. Software is licensed by relating a
software key for each software feature with a unique machine ID. Software keys are
obtained from the ABB software license administration system. Follow all steps for
obtaining machine IDs, requesting software keys, installing software keys, and
installing and running the license entry program.
For the software to run, the machine ID used to generate the software key must be
present on the configuration server node. The machine ID identifies the node where
the ABB software licensing is handled, and the software periodically checks that the
machine ID is still present. A single machine ID supports multiple software keys for
different features and for different applications.
There are two types of machine IDs that the ABB licensing program supports: a
removable hardware key or a fixed Ethernet address of an Ethernet card. Each type
has its advantages and disadvantages. Using the Ethernet address as a machine ID is
generally more convenient. However, if the Ethernet card that was chosen is ever
replaced or permanently removed from the node, the software license will have to be
reapplied for. Refer to Obtaining Ethernet Address on page 78 if this is the type of
machine ID that is to be used.
The Rainbow SentinelSuperPro hardware key or dongle is a copy protection
device that attaches to the parallel port or USB port of the computer. Some
advantages of a dongle are:
Moving it from configuration server node to configuration server node.
However, the software licensed to the dongle can only execute on the
configuration server node that currently has the dongle attached.
WBPEEUI220793D0 77
Obtaining Ethernet Address Section 7 Software License Entry
Other machine IDs may need to be replaced to upgrade the node software. New
software keys must then be requested. However, there is no need to replace the
dongle with another one (unless it breaks).
The dongle must be ordered from ABB, since ABB software can read only
dongles manufactured for ABB.
In most cases, ABB software licensing functions support multiple dongles which
are daisy chained together. The dongle for Process Portal can be anywhere in the
daisy chain.
Requirements
The license entry program must be installed and run on a node that has Process
Portal configuration server services installed.
78 WBPEEUI220793D0
Section 7 Software License Entry Install

Section 9 Back Up and Restore
Introduction
This section provides information on how to back up and restore system data for the
purpose of an upgrade. These databases should be part of the maintenance plan and
scheduled to be backed up automatically at a convenient time interval, but it can be
manually backed up. This data should be saved to avoid loss of data due to node
problems and to be able to use the same data after a software upgrade.
Backup Procedures
Configuration server nodes contain all the Process Portal system configuration data
and backing them up will preserve the data. Historian server nodes must also be
backed up to prevent the loss of collected data that has not yet been saved. The
databases can be backed up while the node is offline or online (with the following
restrictions):
Restrictions
Do not use the Create Database or Alter Database statements during backup
operations.
Do not create indexes during backup operations.
Do not perform any nonlogged operations (bulk loading of data, Select...Into
statement, Writetext statement, Updatetext statement, etc.) during backup
operations.
Adhere to standard SQL server naming conventions when naming databases.
WBPEEUI220793D0 95
Backup Procedures Section 9 Back Up and Restore
Configuration Data
The SQL server configuration database contains all the configuration data. In
addition to the configuration database, other files must also be saved in order to have
a complete set of information. To completely back up the configuration data of a
configuration server manually:
1. Open the SQL server enterprise manager.
2. Expand the SQL server group that represents the configuration server node
(Figure 20).

Appendix A Domain Controllers
Introduction
This section provides information on how to set up a new Windows domain
controller. These steps should be performed before installing Process Portal
software. A domain network requires two domain controllers (primary and
secondary) to provide redundancy. Domain controllers require the Windows 2000
Server or Server 2003 OS. A domain controller should not contain Process Portal
software (especially Configuration Server software).
Domain Networks
Domain networks can be isolated from or linked to (through a router) other domain
networks. Where necessary, the steps in this section provide specific information
about the unique settings required by both isolated and linked network domains.
Domain Setup
Perform this procedure at the computer that you have designated to be the domain
controller/DNS server.
Before you set up a new domain, verify that the node you are using as the domain
controller has Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 installed. You
cannot use Windows XP Professional for a domain controller or DNS server.
Ensure TCP/IP protocol is correctly installed on the computer.
Create a new domain by setting up a new domain controller and DNS server using
the Active Directory Installation wizard. Run this wizard on the node designated to
be the domain controller.

13. In the Configure DNS dialog, select Yes install and configure DNS on the
computer.
14. Click Next.
15. In the Permissions dialog, choose compatible only with Windows 2000 (this is
to maximize security).
16. Click Next.
17. In the Directory Service Restore Mode Admin Password dialog, specify a
password.
Remember this password. This is the password of the local Administrator on this
node that will be used if the Domain Controller is later demoted from being a
Domain Controller to be a normal domain member node.

29. Mark the new zone and right click to select Properties. Change Allow
Dynamic Updates? to either Yes or Only Secure Updates. Then click OK.
30. If there is a redundant network, repeat Step 23 through Step 28 to add a
Reverse Lookup Zone for the secondary network. Enter the network ID for the
secondary network; for example: 172.17.4.0.
If you are configuring just one Domain Controller the configuration is finished here.
For redundant domain controllers repeat Step 1 through Step 19 on a second
Windows Server node except that in Step 5, you must choose to install an
Additional domain controller for an existing domain.

Appendix B Time Synchronization
Introduction
Any non-Process Portal node (domain controller) must be synchronized with
Process Portal. To do this, enable the SNTP Server on a Process Portal node
(LocalNTP = 1) that is not the Domain Controller by performing the following
steps:
1. Using standard Windows procedures, run regedit.
2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
W32Time\Parameters.
3. Check whether there is a value called LocalNTP or not and create it if it is not
there using the following Value Names:
LocalNTP.
Data Type: REG_DWORD.
Value Data: 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled.
4. Set the value of LocalNTP to 1.
5. Set the W32Time service to Automatic in the Windows Service Manager.
6. Restart the node for changes to be implemented.
7. Next, reconfigure the Windows Time Service in one of the nodes that will be
synchronized from the Control Network system so that it acts as an SNTP
server or install an SNTP server on the same subnet as the non-Process Portal
nodes (domain controller).
8. Reconfigure the Windows Time Service in the Domain controller so that it
fetches the time from the SNTP server.
To configure a Domain Controller to find the time from a specific SNTP server,
perform the following steps:

Appendix C User Account/Account Rights
Manual Configuration
Introduction
The creation of accounts, groups, and users and the configuration of access rights is
automatically completed as part of the installation. This sections provides steps on
how to those configurations and creations manually if necessary.
Service Accounts
These accounts must be local accounts on all nodes in the system. The same name
and password must be used on all nodes. The Process Portal service accounts must
be members of the local administrator group and have Act as part of the operating
system and Log on as a service user rights.
When using a domain, create a domain Process Portal service account with the same
name, password, and user rights as the local Process Portal service account. Make
