Factory Talk View Relative Path

Sumolcoot · Sep 4, 2009

We received a new machine a couple of months ago, with a Panelview Plus 1250. The application was developed in Factory Talk View, but I only have RSView Enterprise. Consequently, the .apa is useless to me until corporate decides to upgrade. Can someone post the relative path I need to create on a compact flash card in order to copy the files from the PV+ should something untoward happen and I would need to restore them to a new PV+.

Thanks in advance!

"Drive Letter":\Rockwell Software\RsViewME\Runtime

If you pop the card into the terminal and navigate to the card with either the copy application or delete application, it will create that folder structure on the card for you.

Another thing you can do is create a batch file called "autorun.bat" with the following text:

Code:

REM    Create a directory on the flash drive
REM    to back up the original file
mkdir \"storage card2"\original

REM    Copy the original file to the flash drive
copy \"storage card"\"rockwell software"\rsviewme\runtime\*.mer \"storage card2"\original\

REM    first get to the proper directory
cd\storage card\rockwell software\rsviewme\runtime\

REM now delete the old version of the mer 
del /f /q "*.mer"

REM    copy the new version from the CF card (top level)
REM    the file we are going to copy can not have any spaces
REM    in its name
copy \"storage card2\"*.mer


Call \windows\rebootsystem.exe /y

Then you just put the .mer on the root of the flash card. If there is an application on the terminal, it will be copied to the flash card into a folder called "original", then deleted off of the terminal. Then the application on the root of the flash card will be copied to the terminal and it will reboot.
