The first user must log into Windows using an administrator account. The computer comes with either Administrator (on server class computers) or Emerson (on workstation class computers) as the default administrator account. The procedure for the first user’s logon differs between workgroups and domains. Refer to the topic on setting up the first user account for information.
It is assumed that the Windows operating system and the DeltaV software are installed on your computer and that you are using a new DeltaV system. The Emerson-recommended Windows installation and the DeltaV installation procedure set up your computer to operate properly with DeltaV software. Do not make any registry changes to your operating system, as these may result in unpredictable behavior. It is also assumed that you are a control engineer getting ready to configure a DeltaV application. You are familiar with control theory and are somewhat familiar with the implementation of control systems.
