MotionWorks IEC Hardware Configuration – 2013-03-26 114
Project Archive
It is possible to download or upload the complete application image to / from
an MPiec controller without using MotionWorks IEC or the Hardware
Configuration. A single file called “Archive.Zip” contains all the Hardware
Configuration Data and the IEC Application Program, including any data files
that may be used by the application that were downloaded to flash using the
“Download File” button from the MotionWorks IEC Resource Dialog or via
HTTP file transfer to the controller.
To install an application archive on the controller, follow these steps.
1) Connect to the controller using Internet Explorer.
2) Enter the Login and Password.
3) Under the Maintenance section on the left hand of the screen, click
Project Archive
4) Click Browse to locate a previously stored archive.zip file.
5) Click the Upload button to send the file to the controller. It will extract
and replace all files shown in the file listing.
6) Reboot is necessary for the configuration and application program to
become operable.
WARNING: If the application has absolute encoders, the absolute encoder
offset stored when the MC_SetPosition function block is executed is not part
of the archive.zip. If the archive.zip file is loaded into another controller,
and the application uses absolute encoders, axis calibration (homing) must
be performed to be sure that the application will operate properly on the
new controller.
