Installation of AC500 Targets with the Program installTarget.exe

By default, all AC500 target files are installed when installing the Control Builder. When installing version V1.2, the target files of version V1.1 and the files of version V1.2 will be installed.

In certain cases the target files of several providers have to be installed on the PC at the same time. In this case, the target files of the AC500 CPUs can also be installed directly.

Note

The AC500 target of version V1.0 and V1.1 requires CoDeSys version V2.3.5.0 and later. Targets of version V1.2 require CoDeSys version V2.3.8.0 and later. AC500 targets cannot be used with CoDeSys V3.x.

Proceed as follows to install the target:

  1. Exit CoDeSys.

  2. Exit the gateway, if necessary (right mouse click on the 3S icon in the Windows status bar => Exit).

  3. Start the program InstallTarget.exe, for example by double clicking the file in the Windows Explorer. The program InstallTarget.exe is located in the installation directory of CoDeSys.exe, i.e., in case of a default installation in the directory ..\%ProgramFiles%\3S Software\CoDeSys V2.3.

    The environment variable %ProgramFiles% points to the directory

    - “Program Files” on English operating systems and

    - “Programme” on German operating systems.

  4. This user interface appears.

    All targets currently installed (i.e., registered in the Windows registry) are displayed in the right-hand area “Installed targets”.

  5. Click<Open> and select the directory that contains the installation file of the target(s) to be installed. The installation file of a target has the extension *.tnf. The AC500 targets are located in the directory CD-ROM drive:\CD_AC500\CoDeSys\Targets\ABB_AC500 on the CD PS501 Vx.y.

  6. Select the desired installation file.

    Note

    The list beyond only gives an example about available targets. There may be more/other targets available in future.

    AC500_multi.tnf (PM571, PM581 and PM591 V1.1)

    AC500_PM582.tnf (PM581 V1.1)

    AC500_V12.tnf (PM571, PM581, PM582, PM585, PM590, PM591 V1.2)

    AC500_COMP_V13.tnf (PM55x, PM56x V1.3)

    Click <Open>.

  7. In the left-hand area, all targets that are part of this installation file are displayed.

    Select “ABB STOTZ-KONTAKT GmbH” or a specific target (for example AC500 PM581 V1.2) and click <Install>. All files belonging to the target will be installed.

    The “Installation directory” field shows the target directory.

  8. To install further targets repeat steps 5 to 7.

  9. Click<Close> to exit the program.

  10. If you want to uninstall one or several targets, select the desired target(s) in the “Installed targets” area and click <Remove>.

    Remark:

    “Remove” does only delete the Windows registry entries. The files are still available in the installation directory. They have to be deleted manually, if necessary.
