Installing the Station Setup Application
The condensed Station Setup installation has full controller configuration functionality, but also some limitations:
The entire installation has a smaller footprint and is installed on a portable computer.
Only one physical controller can be managed at a time.
The computer is connected to the service port of the controller to avoid interruption of normal activity.
Applications
The typical application for this mode of operation can be the following:
A small installation with few controllers when the ToolsTalk 2 functionality is desired but may not have a business justification.
Atlas Copco service personnel can access a controller using ToolsTalk 2 without connecting to the customer network but instead using the service port of the controller.
Offline configuration of controllers using the controller library features. The configuration file can later be transferred to a real controller for verification.
An easy export of a controller configuration that is very helpful in debugging tasks.
Before you begin with the ToolsTalk 2 Station Setup installation, make sure all the requirements are met as described in section Before installing.
Place the executable file ToolsTalkStationSetup<xxx>.exe in a folder on your computer. The <xxx> represents the version of the file.
Double-click on the executable file.
If an error occurs during installation, a step is unclear, or a parameter name or value is unclear, look for more information in the Troubleshooting section.
