Installation
In case of ordering supplement products in combination with BECKHOFF hardware components BECKHOFF will preinstall the software in the CE images.
Customer receive ready to power on devices, no extra installation have to be done.
If not ordered in a bundle or in case of installing supplement products on not-BECKHOFF hardware (like OPC-Server CE on MIPS platform) there is a two-step installation procedure:
- Step 1:
Install the supplement software on a host PC.
With entering the required license key and applying to license agreement the supplement software will be installed into..\TwinCAT\CE subfolder on your PC
Sample TwinCAT OPC Server CE:
Installing the software on host-pc will create a folder "..\TwinCAT\CE\OPC" containing the CE *.cab installation files (like TcOpcXmlSvrCe.I586.CAB) - Step 2:
Transfer the CE-cab installation file to the CE device (via memory stick / FTP / public folder / CF-adapter...).
While CE device running double click on cab file and follow documentation. After installation has finished the cab file will destroy itself.
