New installation procedure for the OLI Engine in Honeywell UniSim

OLI Systems has combined the installation of the OLI Engine 9.2 (and later) for all the various versions of the OLI Engine in Honeywell UniSim. Prior to version OLI Version 9.2, there was a separate installation file for UniSim R430 and R440. Now we have combined the installation into a single package. This makes life easier for OLI Systems, Honeywell International and the IT groups tasked for installing our software.

There are two conditions which you may encounter when installing the OLI Software for Honeywell UniSim. The first is the simplest in where a single copy of Honeywell UniSim exists and you are adding or upgrading the OLI Engine software. The second is more complicated where you have multiple versions of Honeywell UniSim Previously installed with multiple versions of OLI software in use. We will cover both conditions.

Installing the OLI Engine with previous version of OLI installed.

In this condition, we have several versions of Honeywell UniSim installed with several version of the OLI Engine. In this example we will install the same OLI Engine for all versions of Honeywell UniSim. The start menu may look like this:

You can now download and install the latest OLI Engine for Honeywell UniSim. For our example we will install the OLI Engine 9.2 for Honeywell UniSim. Instructions for downloading the software and installing the software can be found elsewhere.

After installing the software your start menu changes slightly.

It is advised that you uninstall the previous versions of OLI Engines associated with UniSim in order to be consistent with the new version.

Notice that there is no version number of Honeywell UniSim associated with this new entry.

Click the new entry OLI Engine 9.2 for Honeywell UniSim.

Select the Tools folder


Select the tool OLI Engine Config Tool.


UniSim2.png


If you receive a message about allowing this program to make changes to your computer, please accept Yes/OK.

UniSim10.png

This window shows you the installed Honeywell UniSim programs. As you can see from the example we have version R430 installed. The program has automatically installed each with the current version of the OLI Engine (for this example that is 9.2.1). The build date of the OLI Engine is also displayed which for this example is 04-December-2014.

If this is what you want, then you are done and you can click the Close button.

Options

Link/Unlink All

This dialog has some options. The first major option is the Link All and Unlink All buttons. For example, there is an older version of the OLI Engine installed on this computer. This version is 9.1.4. If you wanted to downgrade quickly to see what the old version supplied you can do so quickly.

Click the Link All button.

The result will be as below:

Link/Unlink a Single Version

You can link a particular version of the software. Highlight a version, for our example we will choose Honeywell UniSim R430.

Click in the Unlink button to unlink the Honeywell UniSim 8.6 from OLI Engine 9.2


UniSim14.png


Now to link it back,

UniSim10.png

Select Honeywell UniSim R430 and then click the Link button. Next Select Link to OLI Engine 9.2.

Only show detected or installed products

This check box is used when a non-standard Honeywell UniSim installation has occurred. OLI may not be able to directly detect the software or an installation script is being written and Honeywell UniSim was not available. In this case we can link the OLI Engine to a non-existent product for later installation.

Uncheck the Only show detected or installed products box.

UniSim7.png

As you can see, there are versions of Honeywell UniSim that are not installed.

Check for Updated configuration file

Clicking this link will poll the OLI Download Web Site for a new version of a configuration file. At some point in the future, Honeywell Technologies will release a new version of Honeywell UniSim (or change its name). At that time this configuration tool will be easily updated by downloading a small file.

Installing the OLI Engine without previous versions of OLI installed

Locate the OLI Systems folder program group from from the Start Menu and the locate the OLI Engine 9.2 for Honeywell UniSim(we are using version 9.2 as an example, locate the version you want to install)

UniSim8.png

In this group locate the OLI Engine Config Tool in the Tools folder

UniSim9.png

If the operating system ask you to allow changes please accept YES to allow this action.

UniSim10.png

The program may display no linked OLI Engines to the Honeywell UniSim products. You can link the OLI Engine to all products by clicking the Link All button. Here were are linking to version 9.2 of the OLI Engine

UniSim11.png

This shows that we have linked version 9.2.1 of The OLI Engine to all the detected Honeywell UniSim versions on this computer.

UniSim12.png

You may also install for just a single version of Honeywell UniSim. In the below image we are linking only to Honeywell UniSim R430

UniSim13.png

Click the Link button to link this version. Link to the desire version:


Here is the linked version, click the Close button when done.


Alternative Start Up

Sometimes when the OLI Engine Config Tool is started you will find all the programs already linked such as in the following image:

If all the versions are linked correctly simply click the Close button or link to the desired version as described above.
