The following figure illustrates data transfers for MPE720 version 7.
<Data Transfer Conceptual Diagram>
The following sections provide the data transfer procedures.
4.5.1
Writing Parameters to the Machine Controller
The operation depends on whether a project file is currently open.
• When a project file is open (i.e., when you are online), the current project file data will be
transferred to the Machine Controller.
Go online with the Machine Controller before performing the transfer.
• When a project file is opened and a connection is established (i.e., when a project link con-
nection is made), the Transfer Program Dialog Box is displayed when you select the operation
from the Transfer Dialog Box.
• When a connection is established without opening a project file (i.e., when a direct connec-
tion is made), you select the transfer source project file and then transfer the data to the
Machine Controller.

When you perform a Write into Controller
operation from the Transfer Dialog Box, the
data of the open project fie (or of another
project file that you specified) will be written
to the RAM of the Machine Controller. If you
perform a Save to Flash operation, the data
that is stored in the RAM of the Machine
Controller will be written to the flash mem-
ory of the Machine Controller.
When you perform a Read from Controller
operation from the Transfer Dialog Box, the
data in the RAM of the Machine Controller
will be loaded into the MPE720 and written
to the open project fie (or to another project
file that you specified).
