ToolsTalk 2 RabbitMQ | Enable publishing of messages to ToolsTalk 2 (from release v2.17) via RabbitMQ. RabbitMQ must be installed before you can continue with the settings. For more information how to install RabbitMQ, see RabbitMQ Overview.
If Atlas Copco Data Communication has already been installed, restart the AtlasCopco_DataCommunication service to activate the settings. |
ToolsNet RabbitMQ | Enable publishing of messages to ToolsNet via RabbitMQ.

Web API
Enables settings for the Atlas Copco Data Communication WebAPI Services to collect data over a web API with an option to host using HTTPS.
Verify the file path for the Settings File currently in use.
In Port Settings, enter the Web API Port number used for hosting the Web API without enabling HTTPS. The default port number is 7110.
Verify the Log Settings, if required.
Log Settings Settings
Description

Indicates the level of detail in the information to be stored in the log.
The available options are:
Verbose
Debug

Warning
Error
Location
The file path where the log files are stored.
To configure Web API for HTTPS, in Https Settings, ensure that the Enable Https checkbox is selected.

Enabling HTTPS requires a certificate to be provided in Security Settings. The certificate needs to be setup prior to installing the Atlas Copco Data Communication service. It will not be generated automatically by the service.
When using HTTPS, enter the External Web Api Https Port and Internal Web Api Https Port used for hosting Web API. The default Web API HTTPS port values are 7443 for external and 7111 for internal.
On Premise
Enables the settings for the on-premise database. The service stores the data in a local database.
Select the Enable settings for on-prem database checkbox.
Select the Database Provider:
SQL Server
Enter the Data Source. The IP address for an SQL Server.

If the SQL Server is hosted on the computer running the installation, the IP address is
127.0.0.1.By default, Initial Catalog shows the name of the database. This value cannot be modified.
By default, when the Trust server certificate checkbox is cleared, the SQL Server must use a trusted certificate.
If this checkbox is selected, the SQL Server's self-signed certificate is trusted automatically. This is not recommended due to security reasons.
Alture
Enables settings for Atlas Copco cloud.
Select the checkbox Enable settings for Atlas Copco cloud.
Configure the settings accordingly.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
IOT Hub Connection String | The IoT Hub Connection String, provided by Atlas Copco. |
IOT Hub Communication Protocol | The protocol used when communicating with the IoT Hub. The available options are:
|
Heartbeat interval | The interval (in seconds) at which Atlas Copco Data Communication should send a message to the IoT Hub to verify that the service is functional. |
Proxy Server | The URL for the proxy to use, if a proxy should be used. |
Proxy Username | The username for the proxy connection. |
Proxy Password | The password for the proxy connection. |
Proxy Domain | The domain for the proxy connection. |
Maximum Batch Size | Maximum allowed batch size to be used when sending multiple messages together to Azure IOT hub. |
Cache To Disk Interval | Cache offload to disk interval (in seconds) for storing Unit information together with Result, Jobresult, Event and Program sequence numbers. |
Verify that the ACDC application server supports the minimum TLS version required by the Alture installation. It is recommended to use TLS 1.2 or higher.
Unify
Settings to configure Unify.
Select the Enable Unify checkbox and choose between HTTP or HTTPS as the protocol.
Enter a valid port number for Unify Management in Unify Backend Port.
Select the appropriate License File using CHOOSE FILE.

When using Flexera licensing, run the Unify License Enabler first to get a valid license file.
In CDM Database Settings, enter the IP address for an SQL Server in Data Source.

Required if On-premise and Unify are enabled.
By default, Initial Catalog, shows the name of the database. This value cannot be modified.
By default, when the Trust server certificate checkbox is cleared, the SQL Server must use a trusted certificate.
If this checkbox is selected, the SQL Server's self-signed certificate is trusted automatically. This is not recommended due to security reasons.
In Log Settings, set the level of detail in the information to be stored in the log using the Level drop-down menu and the target location of the log files using Location.
The available levels are:

In Publishing Settings, the settings for MQTT and RabbitMQ can be configured. The settings define messages to be published to MQTT or RabbitMQ or both. The prerequisite for this is to set Topics in MQTT and Routing keys in RabbitMQ before configuring and starting the Atlas Copco Data Communication service.
Settings | Description |
|---|---|
MQTT Settings | MQTT broker must be installed before you can continue with the settings. For more information on how to install an MQTT broker, see MQTT Overview. MQTT Topics are used in the MQTT ecosystem for the broker to determine which clients receive specific messages. Enable Publish To MQTT Select this checkbox to publish data to an MQTT broker. By default, this checkbox is disabled. When enabled, more settings are available:
|
RabbitMQ Settings | RabbitMQ must be installed before you can continue with the settings. For more information how to install RabbitMQ, see RabbitMQ Overview. In RabbitMQ, exchanges are used as routing mediators that decide what messages are sent to a queue, multiple queues or discarded. Queues deliver messages to consumers using a FIFO model. Bindings are used by exchanges to route messages to specific queues. Routing keys in RabbitMQ are attached to exchanges to filter specific messages and route them to the bounded queues.
|
Unify V1 | The Unify version(s) of the messages that should be published. Applies to both MQTT and RabbitMQ publishing. Currently only Unify V1 is supported. The available models are:

Security Settings
In Choose Certificate, select a certificate that will be used for TLS and/or HTTPS.
Click Verify certificate to validate the selected certificate.
In Audit log settings, specify the Location where the logs must be stored. The default location is C:\ProgramData\Atlas Copco\Audit Logs\<service name>\

Audit logs must be protected and must not be changed. By default, only the software has write access to audit log files. Normal users are blocked from accessing or changing these files.
Audit logs must be immutable. Default permissions must be retained. Changing file permissions can affect the integrity of audit data. Responsibility for data changes lies with the customer.
Audit logging is also available through OpenTelemetry (OTEL). OTEL uses the same settings as regular logging. To filter audit logs in OTEL, use: Attributes.LogType: "Audit"
Audit Logs for Atlas Copco Data Communication Installation Configurator will always be in the default location.
After reviewing the settings, click Save and then click Close.
