I have been working on the documentation for a recent install that involved a couple Mitsubishi PLCs. As part of our documentation, we have aggreed to supply a copy of the program on CD along with all the CAD files, Machine Manual etc.
Problem is that GX developer programs in my experience do not like to be copied and pasted or even moved with windows explorer. The best way to move the program to another location is by opening the program with GX, then using "Save As...". For those that do not know, GX Developer programs are actually several different files in a folder-- it can not be opened through explorer as it is not recognized as an application.
So I can move the program around on my computer, but when I burn to CD, I end up with the files burned fine, but then even GX Developer does not recognize the folder as an application and can not open it. I tried saving directly to CD from GX, but got a message saying "the disk is not ready". Tried formatting the disk differently, tried a different burner on a different PC, same outcome.
Anybody burnt a GX Dev program to CD successfully? I'm hoping that I am just missing some simple checkbox somewhere. Rather be embarrassed here than with the customer...
