3.5.13 Downloading Visual Designer Runtime Files

In the "Target" tab click on the "Install system files.... " button to
install the Visual Designer runtime files on the new XV unit. The
checkbox for "Only newer files" can be checked or unchecked the
first time a unit is loaded. For future version updates or service pack
updates leaving the "newer files" checked will speed up the pro-
cess. As files are downloaded to the unit you will see the file names
in the dialog box and also on the XV unit itself. When all files are fin-
ished downloading you are ready to download the Project Files.

3.5.14 Downloading Visual Designer Project Files

Click on the "Project" tab and the Remote Management dialog will
change as shown below.
The default folder for project storage on the XV unit is "\
InternalStorage\VisualDesigner\APPL " . This folder is the selected
target by default. To select a different location for the Target folder
click on the ellipsis button to the right of the field and browse to the
desired folder. Once the correct Target folder is selected, click on the
"Send to Target" button. You can leave the check-box "Only newer
files" checked. When finished the Status field will indicate "Files
were sent successfully" . Now click on the "Run" button to start the
application on the XV unit. The Status field will indicate "Application
was started" .
On the XV unit you can now test the application connected to
the PLC.

4.1 Switch between Booting from the Internal Flash
or SD-Card
Turn on the power of the unit. As soon as Windows CE has booted
press the Start button and change to the menu Programs à Control
Panel.
Open the icon "BootDevice" with a double click.
You can select from the following settings:
Boot from: InternalStorage
•
When selected the unit boots from its internally stored OS.
Boot from: StorageCard
•
With this setting first a compact firmware-OS will start from the
internal flash which will then start the operating system from
the SD-card. Thus the unit runs with an operating system which
is stored on the SD-card. If no operation system is found on the
SD-card the firmware-OS is just a small part of the full Windows
CE OS and offers a few necessary settings and services.
However, the unit will not be able to run Visual Designer or PLC
applications with only the firmware-OS.
The operating system image file (XV102.BIN) and all other OS com-
ponents needed for Visual Designer functionality must be stored in
the directory \OS\ on the SD-card.

4.2 Version Change of the Operating System

The operating system of the XV unit is stored on the internal flash
memory when shipped from the factory. The use of newer functions
may require a version change of the operating system. In general
this is done through the programming software Visual Designer.
Visual Designer checks the operating system version while down-
loading a project and will present a dialog indicating a download
of a different version of operating system is required. For making
a manual change to the operating system the following procedure
should be followed:
