4.6 Data Transfer without Using the MPE7204.6.3 Using the MPLoad Maker4-764.6.3 Using the MPLoad MakerThe MPLoad Maker is used to create automatically startup files (Auto_MPL) from MP3000-series Machine Controller applications that were created on a development PC. The Auto_MPLfile that is created with the MPLoader Maker is written onto a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM (hereaf-ter Auto_MPLCD) is inserted into the target PC that is located in the system of the MachineController, and serves the purpose of transferring applications. The Auto_MPL automaticallyextracts the application and transfers it into the target Machine Controller.Instead of using a CD-ROM, a .BAT file, that can start up from the HDD can also be created.The following figure outlines the transfer process.Note: The MPLoad Maker does not have the functionality to write a CD-ROM. Use a specific device and driver towrite the CD-ROM.MPLoad Maker Features• Applications can be transferred even if there is no application transfer software (MPE720 orMPLoader) installed on the target PC.• One Auto_MPLCD can be used to transfer the application into more than one Machine Con-troller.The functionality of the Auto_MPL is limited to extracting and transferring applications. Thiseliminates the risk of the application being accidentally edited on the target PC.MP3000-series Machine ControllerAuto_MPLCD(MPLoadMaker)Development PCWrite the Auto_MPLto the CD-ROM.Write onto a genericmemory card(USB memory).Create the Auto_MPL(automatic transfer file)from the MP3000application.Insert into the drive.
