System-wide product interdependencies

Multiple installations of the kernel software

The kernel software is embedded into a line of products. Due to the nature of the
kernel, some issues may raise considerations regarding computers containing multiple
installations of the kernel (each product installs its own copy of the kernel software).
The product line using the same kernel comprises:
CAP 505 v. 2.0.0 or newer.
COM 500 v. 3.0 or newer.
SYS 500 v. 8.4.3 or newer.

MicroSCADA service

The MicroSCADA service serves as a core part in execution of the kernel software.
Without a properly installed MicroSCADA service, you can not use CAP 501 or any
other product utilizing the kernel. A single kernel can execute at a time i.e. you can
use only one of these products at a time.
Controlling the rights to start and stop of the MicroSCADA service
By default, you are allowed to start and stop the MicroSCADA service only, if your
logon account is granted Administrator rights. However, you may grant this right also
to any user belonging either to the built-in Users group or any non-built-in user group,
defined on your computer. You can assign these rights by means of the MicroSCADA
Service Access Manager tool. However, you should keep in mind that the access
configuration is system-wide, affecting the above mentioned product line. For detailed
information on the tool, see page 25.

The Windows NT MicroSCADA user account

A Windows NT user account named 'MicroSCADA' is added/updated during the
installation. Changes to this account may impact functionality of the other products.
It is recommended, that you do not change the account's password or other properties,
once the account has been initially installed. More information on this user account is
provided later in this manual.
Note! Never modify the MicroSCADA user account using the Windows NT User
Manager, since it may bring the kernel into an inoperable state. Reinstallation of the
CAP 501 Base System is required in order to recover in such a case.

Kernel incompatibility issues

Kernel revisions, that are incompatible with this version of CAP 501 and with the
above mentioned product line, have been shipped with the following products:
