Update: Bank check out our almost recent article on this subject HERE.

The ability to transfer Rockwell Software's FactoryTalk View Machine Edition runtime files (.mer) to the PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus 6 using standard USB Retentiveness Stick (aka USB flash drive, USB thumb bulldoze) is a handy feature, if you know how to do it.

In most cases, you'd typically download the runtime file (.mer) directly to the PVPlus via Ethernet, however there are some occasions when this won't exist practical:

• When the PVPlus isn't networked
• When the PVPlus doesn't have an IP accost assigned
• When the PVPlus doesn't have an Ethernet Port (some 400 and 600 models)
• When there'due south no like shooting fish in a barrel way to get your PC near the PVPlus to connect to information technology
• When you have an old pre-6 version of ViewStudio (and the Transfer Utility,) but a new PVPlus 6 (the PVP6 does support older v3.1-v5.ane .mer'southward, however the old Transfer Utility doesn't back up the new PVP6)

In these cases, using a USB memory stick to transfer your program from your development PC to the PanelView Plus can be the quickest and easiest, if not the only way to get your file on the unit of measurement.

The trick is, the PVPlus and PVPlus half-dozen only look in one folder on the USB stick for .mer files, and unless your .mer is located in this location the PanelView Plus won't detect it:

Rockwell Software\RSViewME\Runtime

But earlier you get manually creating these folders you should know of a neat little play a trick on to accept them created for you automatically.

If y'all insert your USB memory stick into your PanelView Plus, and so browse the USB memory stick, if the PanelView doesn't find the default directory on the USB stick information technology create it for you.

To do this, kickoff by plugging your USB retentivity stick into your PanelView Plus.

Next, from the configuration menu select "Load Application" and modify the source to "External Storage 1" which represents your USB retentivity stick (bold no other removable memory was installed prior to your inserting of the USB retentiveness stick.)

Subsequently a few seconds, change the source back to internal storage and dorsum out of the load bill of fare.

Now remove your USB Retentivity Stick from the PanelView and plug it into your PC.

Then scan it with Windows Explorer and you should notice the required folders have been created for you.

At this point you can copy your .mer file(s) to the retentivity stick into the Rockwell SoftwareRSViewMERuntime directory.

Then safely eject it from your PC, and plug it back into the PanelView Plus.

Now, back on the PVPlus, navigate to the File Director screen under Concluding Settings.

Then re-create your .mer runtime awarding to the internal storage of the PanelView Plus.

Load the application, and ready it'due south defaults, and in almost cases you'll too want to get dorsum into terminal settings and setup the startup options as well.

I hope the in a higher place data on how to use a USB retentivity stick to transfer runtime files to your PanelView Plus was helpful.
