Important Announcement

Please note that this manual aims to help you set the dispensing software Redlike 2 correctly. There are some steps which must be taken prior to Redlike 2 installation such as any driver installation and licensing of third-party products. DESO development is not responsible for such applications and cannot provide support for them.

Documentation about other products but Redlike 2 shared here is purely informational and it is only a suggestion for our customers. Other drivers, their versions and instances not described in this document may result in a different behaviour.

CorobTECH – serves to set the machine; recommended driver version 5.9.0

 

Driver Installation

Step 1

Run your version of the installation package for DspProxy, for example our recommendation DspProxy 3.1.11.exe, and finish the installation.

 

Step 2

Run your version of the installation package for CorobTECH, for example our recommendation exe, during the installation you might be asked to install FTDIChip CDM Drivers – click on Extract.

 

Step 3

Installation wizard will appear and the installation will not proceed unless prompted by clicking on Next.

 

Step 4

Finish the installation process of FTDI CDM Driver.

The difference between Evodriver and Nextdriver connection

There is quite a lot of Nextdriver issues at the machines.

Nextdriver is man-in-the-middle between Redlike and Evodriver. It only resend commands between them. It was created as a universal gateway between 5G and Slave machines and software. For 5G there is some limitation in possible commands and information, like serial number for pumps, sensor statuses, overall all the information that are available in Evoservice. Backups could be done by Evoservice, not via Nextdriver too. Fleet management is possible via Evodriver not via Nextdriver. Nextdriver is possible to use for dispensing, purging, cleaning the pumps and similar main operations. Nextdriver has license and is helping Corob to identify who is using the machine.

Nextdriver version 1.6 -> 2.4/2.6 update proces – via apk package would be possible to update, but we don’t know how about the activation.

TMC circuits info is possible to get into TMC using Evodriver.

 

Replacing Nextdriver to Evodriver = change in one setting file + restart of RCC. It is doable via script.
