7 File Transfer to Module

7.1Module Exchange Suite

The Module Exchange Suite allows you to view the Flash file system on the module as a directory from Windows Explorer. Make sure that the module is turned on and that one of the module’s serial interfaces (ASC0, ASC1 or USB) is connected to the COM port that the Module Exchange Suite is configured to. The configured COM port can be checked or changed under Properties of the Module directory. Please note that the Module Exchange Suite can be used only if the module is in normal mode. While running the module with the Module Exchange Suite, subdirectories and files can be added to the flash file system of module. Keep in mind that a maximum of 200 flash objects (files and subdirectories) per directory in the flash file system of the module is recommended.

7.1.1Windows Based

The directory is called “Module” and can be found at the top level of workspace “MyComputer”. To transfer a file to the module, simply copy the file from the source directory to the target directory in the “Module -> Module Disk (A:)”.

7.1.2Command Line Based

A suite of command line tools is available for accessing the module’s Flash file system. They are installed in the Windows System directory so that the tools are available from any directory. The module’s file system is accessed with mod:. The tools included in this suite are MESdel, MEScopy, MESxcopy, MESdir, MESmkdir, MESrmdir, MESport, MESclose and MESformat. Entering one of these commands without arguments will describe the command’s usage. The tools mimic the standard directory and file commands. A path inside the module’s file system is identified by using “mod:” followed by the module disk which is always “A:” (e.g. “MESdir mod:a:” lists the contents of the module’s root directory).
