For designing the visual experience on pCO displays and handheld terminals.
Before installing an update, always archive your current project folders and custom libraries.
The coexistence of multiple development tools (1Tool, c.suite, and STone) provides market flexibility, allowing OEMs to standardize on the environment that best matches their engineering resources and project requirements.
| | 1Tool | STone | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Launch Year | 2007 | 2024 | | Primary Language | Proprietary (Graphical/Blocks) | Structured Text (ST), IEC Standard | | Target Controllers | pCO series (pCO1,2,3,5,5+) | New generation controllers | | Key Strengths | Mature, extensive libraries, large existing user base | Modern, efficient, secure, industry-standard language | | Best For | Legacy system maintenance, projects with extensive pre-existing code | New greenfield projects, teams familiar with ST, projects prioritizing innovation | carel 1tool software updated
Ensure that your existing pCO or c.pCO controller firmware versions align with the compiler targets supported by the new 1tool release. Firmware upgrades on the physical controllers may be required to leverage new software blocks.
Integration with plugins for BACnet, SNMP, and Modbus 2.0 to support the increasing demand for remote monitoring and data transparency. The Shift Toward Innovation
Function blocks that integrate control algorithms with user interfaces (UI). 2. Improved Integration and Real-Time Error Reporting For designing the visual experience on pCO displays
A key highlight of the update is the enhanced energy management module within 1Tool. This feature allows seamless integration of energy meters and other monitoring devices with pCO sistema programmable controllers, facilitating better energy consumption tracking and optimization.
: Full support for Windows 10 and Windows 11, resolving previous driver issues with USB and serial interfaces.
The latest represent a significant step forward in making HVAC/R programming more efficient and intuitive. By focusing on user experience, debugging, and connectivity, CAREL continues to support its partners in building highly efficient, reliable, and modern control systems. | | 1Tool | STone | | :---
CAREL recently launched STone in 2024 as the new benchmark for HVAC/R programming. While 1tool remains active for legacy and current pCO series support, STone is designed for next-generation innovation and security using Structured Text (ST).
: Maintaining and updating the massive global install base of pCO3 and pCO5 controllers.
