3.8.2 Saving and deleting a boot application.
Saving a boot application on the MicroSD memory card
▶ Make sure that communications with the XControl device have been
established.
▶ Make sure that the boot application was compiled without errors.
▶ Make sure that the microSD card is inserted into the device.
▶ In Explorer, double-click on the device (e.g., "Device (XC-303)") and
select "PLC Shell" under the "Device" tab.
▶ Enter the copyprojtosd command into the command line.
An "XC303" directory with a "project" subdirectory will be created for the boot
application. The boot application will be named <application_name>.app
("Application.app", for example) and stored in this subdirectory. In this case,
<application_name> refers to the application in Explorer. In addition, an
<application_name>.crc file will be generated.
The boot application will be stored on the MicroSD memory card in the afore-
mentioned directory structure.
You can use the copyprojtosd PLC shell command to copy the boot applica-
tion (e.g., for a backup copy) or change the file's name. However, only the
boot application named <application_name>.app will be active in the XSOFT-
CODESYS-3 software.
Saving a boot application on the USB device
▶ Make sure that communication with the device has been established.
▶ Make sure that the boot application was compiled without errors.
▶ Make sure that there is a USB device plugged into the USB Host.
▶ In the configuration tree, double-click on the device (e.g., "Device
(XC…)") and select "PLC Shell" under the "Device" tab.
▶ Enter the copyprojtousb command into the command line.
An "XC…" directory with a "project" subdirectory will be created for the boot
application. The boot application will be named <application_name>.app
("Application.app", for example) and stored in this subdirectory. In this case,
<application_name> refers to the application in Explorer. In addition, an
<application_name>.crc file will be generated.
The boot application will be stored on the USB device in the aforementioned
directory structure.
You can use the copyprojtousb PLC shell command to copy the boot applica-
tion (e.g., for a backup copy) or change the file's name. However, only the
boot application named <application_name>.app will be active in the XSOFT-
CODESYS-3 software.
Deleting a boot application from the MicroSD
Click on the "Device ￫ PLC Shell" folder and enter the remprojfromsd
com-
mand for the XControl.
