Carel 1tool 2.6.46 2.6.57 Sp1 -
Carel 1tool (versions 2.6.46 and 2.6.57 SP1) a legacy development environment designed specifically for the CAREL pCO programmable controller platform
. These versions represent a critical stage in the evolution of
- Visual Logic: Instructions are blocks connected by lines.
- Function Blocks: Extensive library of HVAC-specific blocks (PID control, defrost logic, alarm management).
- Legacy Support: These versions maintain backward compatibility with code written in much older versions (1.2x series), though conversion is sometimes required.

Update Process: Follow the Carel guidelines for updating the software. This may involve backing up your configurations, uninstalling the old version, and then installing the new version.
Pro Tip: If you are migrating a site from 2.6.46 to 2.6.57 SP1, export your .pco project file in 2.6.46 first, then import it into 2.6.57 SP1. Do not attempt to convert the .dat database file directly. Visual Logic: Instructions are blocks connected by lines
The Carel 1tool is a cornerstone development environment for engineers working with the pCO series of programmable controllers. As a comprehensive suite designed for the HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) industry, it manages every phase of a project—from initial design and simulation to field commissioning.
