7.2 Maintenance and Configuration Operations
Fig. 7-25: Selecting the Operation to Modify MLX-R.exe Autostart Settings
A pop-up dialog showing the auto-start settings for MLX-R.exe will be
displayed, as shown in Fig.7-26 "Auto-start Settings for MLX-R.exe".
Uncheck the check box that reads “Automatically re-launch MLX-R.EXE
after it shuts down” and click on the [Set] button. If MLX-R.exe is already
running at this point, it can be commanded to restart from the PLC
program or through the MLX200 HMI. However, MLX-R.exe will not restart
since the automatic restart was disabled from the {Maintenance
Operations} screen. At this point the backup operation can be performed.
Disabling the auto-start of MLX-R.exe may also be useful to troubleshoot
persistent connectivity problems or initialization problems.

Once the troubleshooting or backup operation is completed, it is
important to re-enable the automatic re-start of MLX-R.exe. Failure to
do so will cause the MLX200 system to not function as expected. To
re-enable the automatic restart of MLX-R.exe, follow the same
procedure outlined in this section, with the exception that in the
“AutoStart Settings” pop-up dialog (Fig.7-26 "Auto-start Settings for
MLX-R.exe"), make sure the check box next to “Automatically re-launch
MLX-R.EXE after it shuts down” is checked and click on the [Set]
button.
