This is a brief tutorial on how to pull an Xpress project
off of one PAC by downloading it through the PAC Configuration Tool and upload
it to another PAC using the same tool.
Step 1: Connect a PC's LAN port to the PAC and go to the
PAC's IP address in Internet Explorer on the secure port (default is
192.168.10.50:81; the last two digits will always be 81). Log in using the administrator's user name
and password for this PAC (default is that the user name is "Admin" and the
password is blank). This is the PAC
Configuration Tool. Click "Xpress HMI
Settings".
Step 2: Click "Get".
When Internet Explorer asks whether to open or save the file, click "Save". The file will be downloaded and
saved as an LRP file. Although the file
can be uploaded and run in another PAC, it is only compatible with the PAC's
embedded Xpress and cannot be loaded onto other Xpress units (like XPR2's).
Step 3: Disconnect the PC from the first PAC and connect the
PC's LAN port to the second PAC. Go to
the Xpress HMI Settings tab PAC Configuration Tool. Click "Browse". This will bring up a dialog box to select an
embedded Xpress file to send to the PAC (note: files created with any version
of Xpress Manager will not be compatible, only PAC Xpress files). Once the file has been found, select it an
click "Open". Then, click "Send".
Step 4: The screen will show a loading message while it
sends the Xpress project to the PAC.
After that, the user will be automatically logged out. The project is now ready for use.
