Configuring and testing the Danfoss electronic controllers has never been as easy as with the new KoolProg PC software.
With one KoolProg software, you can now take advantage of new intuitive features such as the selection of favorite parameter lists, writing on-line as well as off-line program files, and monitoring or simulating alarm status activities. These are only some of the new features that will minimize the time R&D and production will spend on development, programming, and testing the Danfoss range of commercial refrigeration controllers.
Supported Danfoss products: ETC 1H, EETc/EETa, ERC 111/112/113, ERC 211/213/214, EKE 1A/B/C, AK-CC55, EKF 1A/2A, EIM 365, EKE 100, EKC 22x.
The following instructions will guide you through the installation and first time usage of KoolProg®.

User Guide | KoolProg® 7. Set parameters
This feature allows you to configure parameter settings for your application. Click one of the icons in the right column to either create a fresh configuration off-line, to import settings from a connected controller or to open an already saved project. You can see projects you have already created under "Open a recent setting file".
New
Create a new project by selecting: - Controller type - Part number (code number) - PV (product version) number - SW (software) version Once you have selected a file, you need to name the project. Click 'Finish' to proceed to view and set parameters.
Note: Only standard code numbers are available to choose from in the "Code Number" field. To work off-line with a non-standard code number (customer specific code number), use one of the following two methods:
1. Connect the controller of same code number with KoolProg using Gateway, and use "Import settings from Controller" to create a configuration file from it.
2. Use "Open" feature to open an existing locally saved file on your PC of same code number and create a new file from it.
The new file, saved on your PC locally, can be accessed offline in future without having to connect the controller.

Open
The "Open" command lets you open setting files already saved to the computer. Once the command is clicked, a window will appear with a list of saved setting files.
All projects are stored here in the folder: "KoolProg/Configurations" by default. You can change the default file saving location in "Preferences" . You can also open the setting files you have received from another source and saved in any folder using the browse option. Please note that KoolProg supports multiple file formats (xml, cbk) for different controllers. select the appropriate setting file format of the controller you are using.
Note: the .erc /.dpf format files of the ERC/ETC controller are not visible here. An .erc or .dpf file saved on your PC can be opened in one of the following ways: 1. Select "New Project" and go all the way to the Parameter list view of the same controller model.
Select the Open button to browse and open the .erc/.dpf file on your PC. 2. Select "Upload from controller" if you are connected to the same controller on-line and go to
the parameter list view. Select Open button to browse the desired .erc/.dpf file and view it in KoolProg. 3. Select "Open" to open any other .xml file of the same controller, reach the parameter list view screen, and there select the Open button to browse and select the .erc/.dpf file to view and edit these files.
Import controller model (only for AK-CC55, EKF and EIM): This allows you to import the controller model (.cdf) offline and generate a database in KoolProg. This will allow you to create a setting file offline without having the controller connected to KoolProg. KoolProg can import the controller model (.cdf) saved to the PC or any storage device.
