PACTware

Updating PACTware DataBase

After adding a new Device IODD through IODD DTM Configurator, the Pactware device catalog should be rebuild in order to access this new IODD.

  • This can be achieved by accepting the message below at the PACTware startup Yes.
    update_pactware_lib_0 Image

  • When the rebuild message is not displayed at the PACTware startup, then a manual rebuild must be done:

    • Select Device catalog from the menu View.
      update_pactware_lib_1 Image
    • Then Update device catalog.
      update_pactware_lib_2 Image
  • Then Yes and wait till the device catalog rebuild.

Configure new Device in Turck IO Device
  1. Check following video to configure a new Turck Device that is was not configured before. The video below shows the steps to configure a Zimmer gripper that is connected to port-1 on a new Turck IO Device (no configuration have been set before on the Turck IO device).
  1. In case of pre-configured Turck IO Device, then follow the next video to load the old configuration data. Then follow the video above starting at 0:35. The video below show the how to load the configured data from existing Turck IO Device before adding a new connected device configuration.

Now the Turck IO Device is configured and ready for work.
