7 File Transfer to Module
7.1 Module Exchange Suite
The Module Exchange Suite allows you to view the Flash file system on the module as a direc-
tory from Windows Explorer. Make sure that the module is turned on and that one of the mod-
ule’s serial interfaces (ASC0, ASC1 or USB) is connected to the COM port that the Module
Exchange Suite is configured to. The configured COM port can be checked or changed under
Properties of the Module directory. Please note that the Module Exchange Suite can be used
only if the module is in normal mode and the baud rate is configured to a fixed value of 460800,
230400, 115200, 57600, 38400 or 19200. While running the module with the Module
Exchange Suite, subdirectories and files can be added to the flash file system of module. Keep
in mind that a maximum of 200 flash objects (files and subdirectories) per directory in the flash
file system of the module is recommended.
7.1.1 Windows Based
The directory is called “Module” and can be found at the top level of workspace “MyComputer”.
To transfer a file to the module, simply copy the file from the source directory to the target direc-
tory in the “Module
→ Module Disk (A:)”.
7.1.2 Command Line Based
A suite of command line tools is available for accessing the module’s Flash file system. They
are installed in the Windows System directory so that the tools are available from any directory.
The module’s file system is accessed with mod:. The tools included in this suite are MESdel,
MEScopy, MESxcopy, MESdir, MESmkdir, MESrmdir, MESport, MESclose and MESformat.
Entering one of these commands without arguments will describe the command’s usage. The
tools mimic the standard directory and file commands. A path inside the module’s file system
is identified by using “mod:” followed by the module disk which is always “A:” (e.g. “MESdir
mod:a:” lists the contents of the module’s root directory).
