1.1 Overview
1Introduction to MPLoad Maker
1.1Overview
MPLoad Maker is a tool which allows the user to create an auto start file (Auto_MPL) using the application data for the MP2000-series Machine Controller created by the Personal Computer (PC). When the created Auto_MPL is written on the CD-ROM and the CD-ROM (hereinafter referred to as MPLCD) is inserted into the CD-ROM drive of the PC connected to a Machine Controller (hereinafter referred to as target PC), AUTO_MPL will open the application automatically and transfer the application to the target Machine Controller.
Instead of using Auto_MPL written on the CD-ROM, you can use the .BAT file writen on other media or on the HDD. The application is transferred as illustrated below.

MP2000-series Machine Controllers
MPLoad Maker can not be used to reuse rewritable disks. A CD-RW device or driver is required to write the Auto_MPL onto a CD-ROM.
1.2Features
MPLoad Maker features the following:
•Application transfer without installing a tool such as MPE720 or MPLoader in the Target PC.
•Application transfer to multiple Machine Controllers using a single Auto_MPLCD.
•As the functions of Auto_MPL are limited to opening and transfering the application, the application will not be overwritten adversely in the Target PC.
