9.3 Pendrive: operating instructions
File extensions, names and contents
Various types of fi les can be uploaded and downloaded and are
distinguished by their extension.
File names
In order to be recognised, the names of the directories and fi les on the
pendrive must have no more than 8 characters; the controller makes no
distinction between upper-case and lower-case characters. However,
during DOWNLOAD the names of the directories created by the controller
on the pendrive are always in upper-case.
FILE TYPES FOR UPLOAD
File

Description
.IUP Contains the defi nitions of the screens on the terminal
.BLB Contains the application
.BIN Contains the application (with pLAN table)
.BLX Contains the logic of atoms custom in C language
.GRP Contains the graphics
.DEV Contains the preset confi guration parameter values
PVT, .LCT Contains the descriptions of the public variables to be
logged. Generated by 1Tool, this is used by the LogEditor
module and must be loaded together with the .LCT fi le
Downloaded fi les are saved in directories created automatically, with the
following name format:
NAMXY_WZ
Where:
NAM: identifi es the type of data downloaded (LOG for logs, BKP for the
application, DEV for the buff er memory, CPY for all the data from the
controller).
XY: progressive number from 0 to 99
WZ: controller pLAN address.
Example: A directory named LOG00_01 contains the log fi les (LOG)
downloaded from a device whose pLAN address is 1. Since the key
contained no directory of this type before download, it is indicated with
00.
Important: No more than 100 fi les of the same type can be
downloaded to the pendrive, as the directories created can only be
numbered with XY=00 to 99.
