What is the difference between the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version?

DeviceXPlorer OPC Server has two installation options: the 32-bit (x86) version and the 64-bit (x64) version.
On a Windows 32-bit OS, only the 32-bit version can be installed.
On a Windows 64-bit OS, either the 32-bit or 64-bit version can be installed.

Advantage of the 64-bit version

• As compared to the 32-bit version, the performance improvement can be expected by expanding the usable memory area.

Limits of the 64-bit version

• The 64-bit version of DeviceXPlorer cannot be installed on Windows 32-bit OS.
• The 64-bit version doesn't support the following communication types since some communication libraries don't support 64 bit architectures. Please refer to the user's guide for details.
  - MELSEC EZSocket
  - Mitsubishi CNC EZSocketNc
  - SYSMAC FinsGateway / SysmacGateway / CX-Compolet
  - TOYOPUC CPU Port
  - FANUC FOCAS
• The 64-bit version doesn't support the SuiteLink interface. Please install the 32 bit-version if the SuiteLink interface is required.

Notes

• The 32-bit version and the 64-bit version cannot be coexisted.
• When you install the 32-bit version on a Windows 64-bit OS, the aplication runs on SysWOW64 without any problems.
