i.

 

When using TPRLS as standalone unit, i.e. no PLC is connected to the TPRLS:

 

 

Under 

PLC1

, select “AVG” as the 

PLC manufacturer

. Click on the drop 

down   list for 

PLC type and protocol

. Select TPRLS-Rev B. 

    

  

 

 

 

 

The following dialog box appears: 

 

 

Click

 Yes 

to automatically import all the pre-programmed TouchPRLS 

tags from the TPRLS_Tags.xls Excel file located in the uWin software 
folder.  

 

The 

PLC2

 checkbox should remain unchecked. 

 

ii.

 

When the TPRLS

 

is connected to a PLC:

 

 

Under 

PLC1, 

Select the 

Manufacturer, Model type and the protocol

 of 

the PLC that the TPRLS is communicating with. In this example, Ethernet 
IP protocol is selected. Click on 

View /Edit PLC COM setup

 to add the 

PLC details - the PLC type and its IP address.  

 

 

 

 

Under 

PLC2,

 select “AVG” as the 

PLC manufacturer

. Click on the drop 

down   list for 

PLC type and protocol

. Select TPRLS-Rev B. A dialog 

box would appear, asking you to confirm and import TouchPRLS tags. 

 

Click 

Yes 

to automatically import all the pre-programmed TouchPRLS 

tags from the TPRLS_Tags.xls Excel file located in the uWin software 
folder.  

 

 

Important Note:

  

All the PLCs that can communicate with the TPRLS 

are listed under 

PLC1

. The 

PLC 2

 section has limited PLC options. 

Hence, when using both, it is beneficial to select the PLC type under 
PLC1 and the AVG TPRLS under PLC2.
