4.

A folder named emt3000 (or mt8000) will be created by the HMI on the root (main) directory of the USB flash drive or SD card. If you Uploaded from a cMT series device then the compiled file will be in the main directory.

5.

Remove the storage device from the HMI and connect it to a PC. Using Windows Explorer, open the 001 folder located in the emt3000 folder on the USB flash drive or SD card. The file named mt8000 is the project file. The mt8000 file does not have an extension on the file name. For the cMT series, the file will be named project.cxob and you can skip step 6.

6.

Rename the file and add the “*.exob” extension. For a file from a cMT series, this step is not necessary since the file already has the proper extension.

7.

Open EBPro and select File > Decompile.

8.

Click the Browse (1) button next to “EXOB file name,” navigate to the *.exob/*.cxob file and click Open.  Click the Browse(2) button next to “Project file name,” navigate to the folder where you want to save the project file (this can be on the USB disk or the local hard drive), enter the name for the project file (3), and click Open.

9.

When the .exob/.cxob file is selected, make sure that the EXOB password (1) is the factory default password (111111) or the password used when the project was compiled. Click the Decompile button (2) to start the process. When the “succeeded” message (3) appears, the project is finished decompiling. Click the Exit button (4).

10.

After the file is decompiled, open the decompiled *.emtp/*.cmtp file in EBPro by selecting File > Open. Select the *.emtp/*.cmtp file and click Open.
