Introduction
The most important part of the REX Control System is the real-time core contained in a software component called RexCore. The RexCore is an independent process in the case of a Windows or a GNU/Linux operating systems, a group of real-time tasks in the case of a hard real-time operating system or a whole system in the case of a microcontroller but it is always the software component where a control algorithm developed by a user runs and from which a device is being handled and which initiates a communication with all other devices in the field that are involved in the control, diagnostics or provide a human-machine interface.
This document contains all the information of a configuration of the RexCore software component for Windows or GNU/Linux operating system that is necessary to put the RexCore into operation or commisioning. A developer of a control algorithm should read [1]. A user that is not yet familiar with the REX Control System should read any of getting-started tutorials, for example [2], [3], [4].
It should be noted that although a big effort has been put into making the RexCore on all supported platforms as unified as possible, it is principally not possible to provide absolutely the same functionality and performance on all devices and environments. A user should consider the targeting platform very carefully and eventually consult his needs with the REX Cotrol Systems s.r.o. company.
