How to upload a recipe file from one HMI and download to another HMI using a USB flash drive

1.       Connect a USB flash drive to HMI. The Download/Upload window pops up.

2.       Select “Upload” and then “Upload History Files,” then enter the password (default: 111111) and click OK.

3.      In the “Pick a Directory” window, click the + sign in front of usbdisk and select the “disk_a_1” directory. Click OK and the History files will get uploaded to the USB flash drive.

4.      Unplug the USB flash drive from HMI #1 and plug it into HMI #2. The Download/Upload window pops up.

5.      Select “Download” and then “Download History Files,” then enter the password (default: 111111) and click OK.

6.      In the “Pick a Directory” window, click the + sign in front of usbdisk and select the
“disk_a_1” directory. Click OK and the History files will get downloaded to the USB flash drive.

7.      IMPORTANT: When the download is complete, the Download/Upload window reappears. Select “Restart project and exit.” This will update the recipe data in the HMI.

Note: The cMT Series menus are slightly different, but the same basic procedure applies.
This method cannot be used with the cMT-SVR. Use the Upload/Download feature in EBPro or the Utility Manager instead.
