Details
Note: Enhancements to acSELerator RTAC Software version 1.15.5816.1142 or later require a full setting download before going online with a project created in version 1.14.xxxx.xxxx or in earlier software. A full setting download will disable the RTAC momentarily.
Supported Operating Systems
- Microsoft Windows 10
- Microsoft Windows Server 2019
The Firmware IDs for older versions of the firmware can typically be found in Appendix A of the instruction manual.
Instruction Manuals
Download the acSELerator RTAC library extensions, and take advantage of the flexibility that the SEL RTAC product line provides for your automation and integration applications. These library extensions are prebuilt code components for the advanced users of the SEL RTAC. Once downloaded, the instruction manuals for each of the library extensions will be accessible via the acSELerator RTAC help menu.
You can find the instruction manuals for the general purpose and optional libraries in the Programming Reference.
