Auto Download FactoryTalk mer File

3 posts in this topic

Hello All,

 

    I have searched for this answer in AB's knowledgbase to no avail, so I was hoping someone here maybe created a batch file for this? 

   What I am looking to do is to be able to send a customer an mer file, have them put it on a USB stick, and auto load the mer into the HMI. We have a few customers that do not have the people onsite to use the transfer utility.

 

Thanks All

It's really pretty easy, but the file paths change with the version of Windows CE and with the external device you're using.

This is the Knowledgebase article you want:

If it's a modern PV+6 or PV+7, this is the syntax for a USB drive.   Be sure the drive is formatted for FAT16.

 

@echo off
echo  Copying MER File...
copy "\USB Storage\Rockwell Software\RSViewME\Runtime\<name_of_the_MER_file>" "\application data\rockwell software\rsviewme\Runtime\<name_of_the_MER_file>"
echo  The process is complete.
exit

Thanks Ken. I saw this but assumed this is only for CE machines.
