1 Introduction to MPLoad Maker
1.1 Overview
MPLoad Maker is a tool which allows the user to create an auto start file (Auto_MPL) using the application data for the
MP2000-series Machine Controller created by the Personal Computer (PC). When the created Auto_MPL is written
on the CD-ROM and the CD-ROM (hereinafter referred to as MPLCD) is inserted into the CD-ROM drive of the PC
connected to a Machine Controller (hereinafter referred to as target PC), AUTO_MPL will open the application
automatically and transfer the application to the target Machine Controller.
Instead of using Auto_MPL written on the CD-ROM, you can use the .BAT file writen on other media or on the HDD.
The application is transferred as illustrated below.
MPLoad Maker can not be used to reuse rewritable disks. A CD-RW device or driver is required to write the
Auto_MPL onto a CD-ROM.
1.2 Features
MPLoad Maker features the following:
• Application transfer without installing a tool such as MPE720 or MPLoader in the Target PC.
• Application transfer to multiple Machine Controllers using a single Auto_MPLCD.
• As the functions of Auto_MPL are limited to opening and transfering the application, the application will not
be overwritten adversely in the Target PC.
