1tool Software | Carel
Carel 1Tool is a multi-device, multi-protocol software platform that allows users to program, monitor, and troubleshoot the entire Carel ecosystem. Whether you are working with a pCO programmable controller, a Powercompact+ driver, or a c.pico parametric controller, 1Tool provides a consistent interface to manage them all.
Unlike legacy software that required different applications for different controller families, 1Tool acts as a single "pane of glass." It supports communication over RS485 (Modbus, BACnet, Carel protocols), Ethernet (TCP/IP), and USB, making it exceptionally versatile for both factory floors and remote field installations.
Carel 1Tool is the proprietary integrated development environment (IDE) designed by the Carel Industries group for programming their range of HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) controllers. It serves as the primary interface for configuring, commissioning, and diagnosing Carel programmable controllers, including the c.pCO series, pCO5, pCO3, and related terminal units. The software is designed to streamline the workflow from logic design to field commissioning, offering a suite of tools for graphic visualization, parameter setting, and network integration. carel 1tool software
