Transferring to and from a Monitouch V8 HMI

In this short article we will quickly go over three ways to transfer data to and from a V8 HMI using a PC. As standard, the V8 series supports USB and Serial transfer. Ethernet transfer is available on models equipped with a LAN port. While the V8 can be transferred to and from using V-Sft 5, this guide will use the layout of V-Sft 6 for screenshots and location descriptors. Connecting the cables: USB:... Read more...

Transferring to and from a Monitouch V9 HMI

In this short article we will quickly go over three ways to transfer data to and from a V9 HMI using a PC. As standard, the V9 series supports USB, Serial, and Ethernet transfer on all models. All three of these methods require V-Sft 6 to use. Connecting the cables: USB: This is the simplest and most reliable method. All that is required is a USB Mini B cable, V-Sft 6, and the USB driver that is installed by default with V-Sft 6. Power on the HMI and... Read more...

V-Sft Transfer Options

V-Sft can transfer a variety of data with an HMI. Starting with the application itself but going deeper one can pull in and backup nonvolatile memory or the configuration of local mode in a V9 HMI. Below are the options in the transfer dropdown menu in V-Sft that can be sent to an HMI using the transfer menu as well as data that can be pulled out of an HMI. They are organized by the name applied to them in the transfer menu. Screen Data – The Application File... Read more...
