7.2.9 Advanced Operations to Assist with Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
The Maintenance Tool enables the user to perform certain additional
operations that may be needed for advanced trouble shooting purposes.
These include disabling the automatic startup of MLX200 PLC Interface
Application (MLX-R.exe) and manually starting the MLX-R.exe application
once its automatic startup is disabled. By default, MLX-R.exe is set to start
automatically at power up and after it is commanded to restart from the
PLC or HMI. However, in certain situations, it may be necessary to disable
the automatic restart of MLX-R.exe. For example, when performing a
backup of firmware files or backup of all Control Module files, it is
recommended to first disable the automatic startup of MLX-R.exe.
7.2.9.1 Disabling Automatic Restart of MLX-R.exe
If the need arises to disable the automatic restart of MLX-R.exe, for
example to perform a backup operation, click on the “Settings” category
on the left side of the {Maintenance Operations} screen and select “Modify
MLX-R.exe Autostart Settings” operation as shown in Fig.7-25 "Selecting
the Operation to Modify MLX-R.exe Autostart Settings", and click the
[Execute] button.
Changing the automatic startup and restart behavior of MLX200 PLC
Interface Application (MLX-R.exe) should be done only in consultation
with a customer support person. Incorrect settings may cause the
MLX200 system to not function properly.
