Changing the active configuration or the active kernel
6.6 Procedure for creating the card images of configurations
Proceed as follows to create the card images and copy them to the memory card
1. Create a batch file (e.g. make_store.bat).
2. Edit this batch file. Write a command line to start the u7mkcnfx.exe application with the
116
following options:
– /m"Mode" option: /m"MAKE_STORE".
– /s"Source Path" option: Specification of the complete path for the directory for storing
the compressed configuration files (e.g. /d"d:\modular_machine\zip").
– /d"Destination Path" option: Specification of the complete path for the directory for
storing the card images (e.g. /d"d:\modular_machine\cardfiles").
– /a"ModeSelfAdaptingConfiguration" option: Specification of whether the initial
configuration, in which the appropriate configuration is selected, should be automatically
loaded after POWER ON, see Selecting and activating a configuration using an initial
configuration (Page 99):
/a"ON": The initial configuration is started after each POWER ON.
/a"OFF": The initial configuration is not started after POWER ON.
/i"Identifier" option: Specification of the identifier for the version of the SIMOTION Kernel
(as described in Creating the work directories on the PC/PG (Page 108)). The identifier
has the form VEyyyyyy, where yyyyyy is a hexadecimal number (e.g. /
i"VE004156"). With this number you specify the kernel version for the call of the
_activateConfiguration system function, see Activating a kernel (Page 94).
Example:
rem make_store.bat Create card images
rem The command must be written in a command line
u7mkcnfx /m"MAKE_STORE" /s"d:\modular_machine\zip"
/d"d:\modular_machine\cardfiles"
/a"ON" /i"VE004156"

The syntax of the command line application u7mkcnfx.exe is described in the appendix
in Command line application u7mkcnfx.exe (Page 119).
