ACE User's Guide, 3.6.x, 18316-000 Rev A Page 29 License Description ACE PackXpert (Optional) Enables full functionality of the ACE PackXpert software. You will need to add the appropriate controller, vision, camera, and OPC server/client licenses required for your application. Without the ACE PackXpert option license OR the ACE Sight vision license, the system is the same as the "Configuration Only" version of ACE. If one of these licenses is not enabled, you can still load and edit a previously-saved workspace containing ACE PackXpert or ACE Sight objects. The licensing restricts exe- cution of those objects in the ACE PackXpert or ACE Sight software. NOTE:
License checking is enforced only on the PC running the ACE server. Controller Provides support for the Adept controllers in the ACE PackXpert and ACE Sight application modules. You must have one controller license for each Adept con- troller you wish to use with those application modules. For example, 4 Con- troller licenses would allow you to connect (and communicate with) up to 4 Adept controllers in your application. OPC Server (Optional) Enables OPC data communications. For details, see OPC Data Access and Process Control on page 785 . OPC Client (Optional) Provides OPC client capability for each controller (client) you wish to obtain information from.
You must have one OPC Client license for each OPC client you wish to communicate with in your application. For example 2 OPC Client licenses would allow you to use OPC data communications with 2 controllers in your application. ACE Sight Vision (Optional) Enables the ACE Sight vision software functionality. See the ACE Sight User's Guide for details. Camera (Optional) Provides support for physical cameras. You must have one Camera license for each physical camera you wish to use in your application. For example, 3 Camera licenses would allow you to use up to 3 physical cameras in your application. See the ACE Sight User's Guide for details.
