OPUS devices update manual

OPUS devices run different kinds of software, depending on the ordered product variant. Here is an overview of the different software types:

•OS – Operating System (before: BSP - Board support package)

This is the operating system of the device, a customized embedded Linux. It is installed on every OPUS A3 / A6 / A6 G2 / A8 device. If you are programming with C / C++ / Qt, you only need to install the OS files.

•PClient – Projektor Client

This software is installed on devices that were ordered as CAN devices (e.g. article number OPUSA3EN1CANF000). The PClient is the counterpart of the Projektor Tool on the PC and part of the OPUS Toolchain.

•Codesys Runtime

This software is installed on devices that were ordered as CDS devices (e.g. article number OPUSA3EN1CDSF000) or Codesys Webvisu devices (CWV, e.g. article number OPUSA3EN1CWVF000). It is the counterpart of the Codesys development environment on the PC. The Codesys runtime contains a per-device license and runs only on devices with CDS in the article number.

Please note that you can also install the PClient on Codesys devices.

•ISO-VT

This software is installed on devices that were ordered as ISO devices (e.g. article number OPUSA3EN1ISOF000). ISO-VT (Virtual Terminal) is part of the standard ISOBUS. ISO-VT contains a per-device license and runs only on devices with ISO in the article number.

Please note that you can also install the PClient on these devices.

Please note that this software is not developed further.

•ISO-V2

This software is installed on devices that were ordered as ISO V2 devices (e.g. article number OPUSA8SN1UTLF000). ISO-V2 is part of the standard ISOBUS. The ISO V2 software only runs on devices with UT in the article number (or ISO in case of the B3). Upgrades can be bought to extend the functionality.

•UT Plugin

This software is installed on ISO devices that were ordered as UT Plugin devices (e.g. article number OPUSA8SN1ISOF000). Note that the code is the same as the old ISO-VT solution. The UT Plugin is installed within the PClient (except for B2 where there are 2 sets of PClient files).

To be sure you have the latest software running on the devices, please always perform a software update on devices you purchased.
