5.5 Special considerations, limitations
•
Windows 7 does not contain a Beep.sys file, which means that an audible signal is no longer sounded
(e.g. when pressing a key).
•
There is currently no support for the Windows 7 system rating (although this does not apply to PP500,
APC2100, APC510, APC511, APC910, PPC2100 or PPC800 devices with an NM10 chipset).
5.6 Drivers
Current drivers for all approved operating systems are available in the Downloads section of the B&R website
.
Information:
Required drivers can only be downloaded from the B&R website, not from manufacturer websites.
