Using the MPLoad Maker

The MPLoad Maker is used to create automatically startup files (Auto_MPL) from MP3000-
series Machine Controller applications that were created on a development PC. The Auto_MPL
file that is created with the MPLoader Maker is written onto a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM (hereaf-
ter Auto_MPLCD) is inserted into the target PC that is located in the system of the Machine
Controller, and serves the purpose of transferring applications. The Auto_MPL automatically
extracts the application and transfers it into the target Machine Controller.
Instead of using a CD-ROM, a .BAT file, that can start up from the HDD can also be created.
The following figure outlines the transfer process.

Note: The MPLoad Maker does not have the functionality to write a CD-ROM. Use a specific device and driver to
write the CD-ROM.
MPLoad Maker Features
• Applications can be transferred even if there is no application transfer software (MPE720 or
MPLoader) installed on the target PC.
• One Auto_MPLCD can be used to transfer the application into more than one Machine Con-
troller.
The functionality of the Auto_MPL is limited to extracting and transferring applications. This
eliminates the risk of the application being accidentally edited on the target PC.
