OPC Router System Requirements

OPC Router is supported on both Windows and Docker environments. The following system requirements and recommendations will help ensure reliable installation and optimal performance.

 

Windows System Requirements

Prerequisites

  • .NET 8 (installed automatically if required)

Recommended Hardware

  • Multi-core processor
  • 8 GB RAM or more
  • SSD storage

Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows Server 2016 x64
  • Windows Server 2019 x64
  • Windows Server 2022 x64
  • Windows Server 2025 x64
  • Windows 10 x64
  • Windows 10 IoT x64
  • Windows 11 x64

Web Browser Requirements

A web browser is required to access OPC Router 5 Management.

Supported browsers include:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge

Use version 100 or later of either browser.

OPC Router Management Access

By default, OPC Router Management is available at:

http://localhost:5000

If port 5000 is already in use, OPC Router automatically uses the next available port (for example, 5001).

If you cannot access the management interface, verify that your local firewall allows connections to the configured port.

Production Environment Recommendations

For production deployments, Windows Server operating systems are strongly recommended.

While Windows 10 and Windows 11 are supported, they are intended primarily for testing and evaluation. Client operating systems may experience:

  • Unexpected system restarts caused by automatic Windows updates
  • Limitations on the number of incoming TCP/IP connections
  • Connection failures in larger projects

Before deploying OPC Router on a client operating system, verify that it meets your operational requirements and complies with Microsoft's licensing terms.

Antivirus Recommendations

If you use antivirus software, configure an exclusion for the OPC Router installation directory.

Without this exclusion, antivirus software may:

  • Reduce system performance
  • Incorrectly identify OPC Router files as malicious
  • Cause false positives following antivirus definition updates
  • Potentially interrupt production operations

Adding an exclusion helps improve performance and reduces the risk of unexpected downtime.

Docker System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

  • Single-core 600 MHz 64-bit CPU
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 3 GB available disk space

Processor Architecture Requirements

Runtime image (includes MongoDB)

  • x86_64 processors with AVX instruction set
  • ARM64 processors based on ARMv8.2-A or later

Service image (does not include MongoDB)

  • x86_64 processors with AVX instruction set
  • ARM/ARM64 processors based on ARMv7 or later

Performance Recommendations

OPC Router uses an internal database to display both real-time and historical data transfer information.

For optimal performance, we recommend running OPC Router on a system with:

  • A multi-core processor
  • At least 4 GB RAM

For production server environments, 8 GB RAM or more is recommended.
