Network Functions in the Operator Panel
Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F 275
The IMAGES Directory
Images in the format BMP can be saved in the IMAGES directory. The bitmap
images are presented in Static symbol objects in the operator panel when it is run-
ning. It is only possible to write, replace and delete files in this library. However, it is
not possible to create sub-directories.
If you check the box Use dynamic bitmaps for a static symbol object, the operator
panel will collect the specified bitmap file (name.bmp) from the directory IMAGES
in the operator panel’s file system. The bitmap image is presented on the operator
panel’s display when it is running.
The image to be presented must be transferred to the directory through FTP. It will
then be possible through FTP to add, replace, or remove dynamic bitmap images on
the operator panel’s display by writing over, entering or deleting BMP files in the IM-
AGES directory.
The image for a dynamic bitmap image object is only shown in the operator panel
when it is running. The bitmap images in the IMAGES directory are not shown
(available) in the configuration tool.
The BACKUP Directory
Files can be uploaded and downloaded easily between the operator panel and an ex-
ternal memory card, by using the BACKUP directory.
When a Compact Flash memory card or USB Flash drive is connected to the opera-
tor panel, it is to be formatted as a backup card. The BACKUP directory contains
the folders Projects, Recipes and Trends. It is only the contents of the BACKUP di-
rectory that is dispayed when connecting to the operator panel via FTP.
Any kind of files, such as operator panel projects, trends, recipes, controller projects,
manuals etc. can be saved in the BACKUP directory.
See also sections Backup of Trend Data, Saving Individual Recipes on an External
Memory Card in Runtime and Transfer to/from External Memory Card.
Note:
Define the same X and Y size for the BMP image in the directory as for the symbol object
defined in the configuration tool. It is not possible to read (collect) files from the
IMAGES directory.
Note:
When transferring a BMP file to the IMAGES directory, the transfer will stop for a short
moment when the operator panel converts the standard BMP format to the operator
panel’s own BMP format.
