zenon is compatible with Windows 10
In July 2015 Microsoft brought Windows 10 – “the best Windows” as the company themselves say – to the market. Windows 10 appeared as a service that will now be continuously updated. Positive test results led Microsoft to confirm that zenon runs smoothly on Windows 10. With piece of mind, our customers can bring their operating system up-to-date at any time. All zenon projects run efficiently from the very first moment.
zenon on Windows 10: Overview of compatibility
The Windows 10 Release from Microsoft includes different editions, each tailored to the particular platform and the purpose. The table below shows which editions zenon is compatible with.
Windows IoT Core support
The new Windows edition IoT Core was especially developed for small, embedded devices – with or without a display. Stefan Hufnagl, Product Manager Integrated Solution at COPA-DATA, explains: “Windows IoT Core offers developers and system architects creative freedom. The platform supports numerous programming languages and open source options. At COPA-DATA we are now also focusing on the new platform and current tests have shown that our IEC 61131-3-based PLC programming environment, zenon Logic, runs seamlessly on Windows IoT. Embedding of industrial PLC components in Windows IoT Core devices opens an approach to extremely interesting architectures and topological orders. Due to inexpensive platforms both flexible as well as robust networks can be used. In this way, technologies optimally complement each other to form a building block for creating intelligent information networks.
In order to make use of the complete range of functions of zenon on Windows 10, we recommend using only the new version, zenon 7.20.
