Overview and i-TRiLOGI Installation Guide for
x86 Compatible PCs running Windows XP, Vista, 7 & 8


1.  Installing i-TRiLOGI from the CD ROM

  1. If you have received a copy of the i-TRiLOGI program in a CD, then you just need to run the "SetupTL7.htm" program in the root folder of the CD-ROM to begin.
  2. The SetupTL7.htm provides a link to TRi website so that you can download the latest copy of the SetupTL7.exe. Always try to install from the latest copy which supports many new features and fixed some known bugs.
  3. If you don't have internet access you can click on a link that let you install i-TRiLOGI 7 from a copy of the installation program "TL7OfflineSetup.exe".
  4. The SetupTL7.exe program actually installs both the latest i-TRiLOGI version 6 as well version 7 program to your PC. i-TRiLOGI version 6 is required for programming the PLC models that do not support flaoting-point numbers, such as the Nano-10, FMD and F-series PLCs. I-TRiLOGI Version 7 is made available for programming newest  PLC models that support floating point numbers, such as the FP+2424 and FP+1616BA PLC. When you run the launcher program from the Start menu you will be given a choice as to which software version you want to start.
  5. Run the Setup program and all i-TRiLOGI program and data  files for version 7 will be installed in the following directory: "C:\TRiLOGI\TL7".  All iTRILGOI version 6 files will be installed in the  directory: "C:\TRiLOGI\TL6".  Note that TLServer program and its related files are stored in the C:\TRiLOGI\TL6 folder even though it can serve both TL6 and TL7 program, but to maintain backward compatibility to TL6 it was decided that TLServer shall remain in the TL6 subfolder.  
  6. You normally would not need to go directly to these directories to run i-TRiLOGI. This is  because during installation of i-TRiLOGI, a program Group folder "i-TRiLOGI" will be created  in the Start Menu to provide short cuts to the TLServer program, the i-TRiLOGI application program and the TL5Applet starter.
  7. The SetupTL7.exe program also contains the setup program for the Java Runtime environment JRE 1.4.2_19. Regardless of whether your PC has any Java run time environment already installed, you should let JRE 1.4.2._19 installation  program run to completion. JRE 1.4.2_19 is found to be the most stable JRE version and works very well with i-TRiLOGI software (especially on 64-bit of Windows 7 and 8, the Java that comes with the OS sometime has problem running the software) . The i-TRiLOGI launcher program will always attempt to invoke the JRE 1.4.2_19 to start the i-TRiLOGI software, failing which it will then switch to the O/S default Java runtime to start the program, which some time don't work too well.
