Summary
This Technical Note describes how to upload a MAPware-7000 project from an HMC7000 Series to a USB flash drive.
Solution
To upload a project from an HMC7000 Series:
1.
In order to upload a project from an HMC7000 Series, the project in the HMC must be preconfigured with a button to turn on system bit S00037 (USB host menu trigger).
Turning ON this bit will cause the “Memory Stick Operation” window to pop up.
2.
When the “Memory Stick Operation” window pops up, it asks, “Do you want to perform Memory Stick operation?” Select “Yes.”
3.
The “Confirm Operation” window appears:
“Do you want to Download or Upload?
Download -> Memory stick to Unit
Upload -> Unit to Memory stick
Select “Upload.”
4.
The “Upload Options” window appears. You must upload each file one at a time. Select “APPLICATION” and the “Confirm Operation” window appears:
“Upload operation will delete existing file from memory stick. This may take several minutes.”
Select “Ok.”
5.
The selected file is uploaded and a message appears: “Upload completed successfully.” Click “Ok.”
6.
The “Upload Options” window appears again. Select “FIRMWARE” and repeat steps 4 and 5 for “FIRMWARE,” “FONTS,” and “LADDER.”
Other options include: APPLICATION+LOGGED DATA and APPLICATION+HIST. ALARM
7.
A folder is created on the USB memory stick and the uploaded files are stored inside the folder.
Application: *.MPL
Firmware: *.ABS
Fonts: FONT_File.BIN
Ladder: *_LD.BIN
