Command Central 3
Installation
The AutoMax Programming Executive and RSLinx should be installed before you install Command
Central. The AutoMax Programming Executive should not be running when you install Command Central
If you have not already done so, install the AutoMax Programming Executive.
If you have not installed the PC Link Virtual Device Driver, do not do so. Just install Command Central
instead.
If you have already installed the PC Link Virtual Device Driver, you must uninstall it before you install
Command Central. Command Central replaces some of the Virtual Device Driver files with updated
versions that support both the PC Link Virtual Device Driver and connection using RSLinx.
To install Command Central, insert the Command Central distribution CD and run the program setup.exe.
If a maintenance menu appears, there is an older version of Command Central or an Installation of the
Virtual Device Driver. These must be removed before you can install Command Central.
Messages about DTL32.DLL when you install or run the program indicate problems with RSLinx. You
must have RSLinx OEM or RSLinx Professional (not RSLinx Lite).
Updating Command Central
Before you install a new version of Command Central, you must uninstall the old version.
Uninstalling Command Central
To remove Command Central:
1. Use Start/Settings/Control Panel to display the Windows Control Panel.
2. Double click on Add/Remove Programs.
3. Select Command Central in the list and click Remove.
This also deletes the RSLinx CIP path – if you reinstall command Central, you will have to recreate the
path.
