With the NA Series HMI users can perform a project synchronisation using an external media storage device. The below procedure outlines the process:
- Insert the SD Card or USB to use for upload into the computer
- Open the device system menu and select the “Transfer Operations” Button
- Touch the option for “Transfer User Program from HMI”
- Specify the storage device and a file name, select “Transfer from HMI”. The upload to the storage device will begin.
- Insert the SD Card or USB into the computer and from the toolbar in Sysmac select “Synchronization → Media Device”
- Specify the desired filename for the upload process and click “OK”
- The Sysmac project is compared to the project on the storage media as seen in the normal Synchronisation process.
Precautions
When a project is uploaded, the internal devices are not linked. In this condition, you will not be able to perform offline debugging with the Controller Simulator or variable mapping.
