Product structure
5.1
Ordering, delivery, and life cycle policy
SYS 600C is a product that combines the robust solid-state computer with the operating
system and the SYS 600 software.
5.1.1
Computer
The computer exists in a number of fixed configurations that is selected during ordering.
The fixed configurations concern the parts supplied by the ABB product unit. There are
no options that can be ordered separately.
To replace the faulty SYS 600C computers, customers with SYS 600C products can only
order a SYS 600C spare computer without the SYS 600 license. If the SYS 600C computer
configuration needs to be changed for some reason, the only possibility is to order a
spare computer and replace the original one with the spare one.
SYS 600C has three PCI slots for additional PCI cards. SYS 600C does not include any
additional cards by default. Additional cards, such as the PCLTA card, can be purchased
from external suppliers.
5.1.2
Operating systems
The operating system can be upgraded after the delivery. The operating system upgrades
are not delivered from the ABB product unit, but can be purchased from an external
supplier. The operating system must be compatible with both the computer and the SYS
600 software. Operating system security updates and service packs are tested and verified
by ABB. For more information, see SYS 600 Security Guide.
5.1.3
SYS 600 software
The SYS 600 software can be extended or upgraded to new versions. This is done with
the normal ordering tool with the upgrade/extension options. SYS 600 Hotfixes, and
Service and Feature Packs can also be freely taken into use. New SYS 600 versions will
be available for the SYS 600C hardware for at least 4 years after the hardware delivery.
After that new SYS 600 software versions may require an upgrade of the hardware.
The SYS 600 software license is bound to the Hardware Key that is installed inside the
computer.
