Application Note

Plantguard and Trusted Software

The Plantguard and Trusted System Configuration Manager are identical programs. They are branded
and configured depending on an identity file. This also affects the SOE and Process Historian Collector
and the OPC Server configuration program, among others. If a workstation has both Trusted and
Plantguard software installed, or one is removed and the other loaded, this identity file needs to be
changed manually for proper operation. It is not removed on uninstalling software, because it is a
common reference file.

The workbench itself does not use the identity file, but keeps its own libraries and branding.

This document describes how to change the identity file.
