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
directory from Windows Explorer. Make sure that the module is turned on and that one of the
module’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. 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 directory 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).
