17.5 Using Removable Media to Log Data
Using Read and Write Removable Media function blocks, an application ladder program can
read and write EXL6 OCS register data in the form of comma-delimited files, with a .CSV
extension. These files are compatible with standard database and spreadsheet PC programs.
In addition, an application ladder program can use Rename and Delete Removable Media
function blocks to rename and delete files.
17.6 Using Removable Media to Load and Save Applications
A special file type, with a .PGM extension, is used to store EXL6 OCS application programs on
microSD.
To load an application from microSD to the EXL6 OCS, use the Removable Media Manager
(open the Removable Media Manager in the System Menu) to find and highlight the desired
.PGM file, and then press the Enter key.
To save an application from the EXL6 to microSD, open the Removable Media Manager in the
System Menu and press the Save Pgm
function key. The application will be saved in a file
called DEFAULT.PGM in the microSD root directory.
NOTE: Saving an application to microSD can only be done from the Removable Media System
Menu and is not available on a Removable Media Manager object that was placed on an
application graphics screen by Cscape. Cscape can also save an application directly to a
microSD card
, which is plugged into the PC’s
microSD compatible card reader by selecting the
Export to Removable Media item on the Cscape File menu.
