Remote Management window. Verify that the target is set
correctly to
Ce:\Cfg\APPL\
. If it is not set correctly, click on
the button labeled “…” to the right of the target property
and select the C drive and browse to the
Cfg\APPL
folder.
Once the target path is set, make sure to uncheck the
checkbox “Only newer files” and then click the Download…
button. An Execution Environment dialog will display,
informing you to verify that the target platform’s license
supports the Product Type configured. If the XP’s license is
sufficient to run the project, click on the Yes button, which
will begin the download operation. Note that the Status:
property will update with every file downloaded. After all
files have been successfully downloaded, the Status will
indicate “Files were sent successfully.” To start the project
on the XP, you can either click on the Run button on the
Remote Management dialog box on your PC or click on the
Start button on the Remote Agent dialog on the XP.

You
must
be sure to perform a Protect Mode Save
operation after you download to the XP-503 in order
to permanently save the changes to Visual Designer’s
protected C:\ drive that are made during the download
process. Even if you decide to locate the project on
the non-protected D:\ drive, the name and location of
the project file is stored in the
Project Settings.ini
file, which is located on the C:\ drive.
Downloading to the XP-503 USB Memory Device
You may also choose to manually load your Visual Designer
project from a USB memory device rather than use the
Ethernet transfer method. To do so, you should take the
following steps:
1. Copy the entire project folder from your development
PC to a USB memory device. Note that by default, the
project folder is stored under “My Document\ Visual
Designer
vX.Y
Projects” in a folder name matching the
project name when it was created.
2. Place the USB memory device in a USB port of the
XP-503 and paste everything under the project folder
(not including the project folder) into the
Ce:\Cfg\APPL
folder of the XP unit (e.g., Alarm, Config, Database,
Hst, Screen, Symbol, and Web folders plus the
APPNAME
.APP file; plus any user created files and
folders under the project folder).
3. Open Visual Designer on the XP-503
Start > All
Programs > Visual Designer vX.Y > Visual
Designer vX.Y
.
4. A Visual Designer error dialog should pop up saying
“The Project was not found in the …” This is normal,
click OK.
5. A Visual Designer warning dialog should then pop
us saying “License not found!” This is also normal,
click OK.
6. The Visual Designer window will then display with no
project selected. Click on the File Open icon on the
Quick Launch toolbar or click the Visual Designer icon in
the upper left corner of the window and select “Open
Project” from the drop list.
7. Browse to the C:\Cfg\APPL folder of the XP and select
the .APP file located in that folder and then click on the
button labeled “Open”.
8. Another Visual Designer license warning dialog may
pop up. If it does, click OK.
9. Once the project loads and shows in the Project
Explorer section, you may close the Visual Designer
application. This step will properly configure the
Program Settings.ini
file on the C:\ drive.
10. Perform a Protect Mode Save operation. Go to
Start > All Programs > Protect Mode Manager
and select the Protect Mode Save tab and click the
Commit button.
