# Connecting BCP/BCV-RE Tools

The process for connecting BCV and BCP tools to the controller is slightly different than for other types of tools.

1. On the home view, go to the Settings tab and select BCP/BCV-RE Connections.

2. Add a new BCP/BCV-RE Connection configuration by selecting the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. Turn on the configuration and provide a name in the name field.

4. Fill in the Device port and the Device host of the tool you want to connect in the respective fields. You can find both pieces of information in the tool's Loader Software.

The tool is now connected to the controller. Assign it to a Virtual Station in order to use it with a tightening program.
