20.6 Generating and uploading FORTE logic file

After the PLC design is finished and debugged, such a design can be compiled into an FBOOT file and uploaded to one or multiple devices to be used in production. As the application being debugged is not automatically considered as a default application, one should be uploaded explicitly via the web interface.

To generate FORTE boot files a user should select Run->Create FORTE boot-file.... After that one should select devices which should have their boot files created as well as additional devices’ properties and directories where these files should be stored as in the picture below.

The upload button for the FORTE files in the web interface can be found in the Protocol Hub tab, Configuration screen (FORTE boot file upload supported for versions v1.4.0 and above). You should see a view in the picture below.

After the file has been imported one should be able to download it from the same screen as seen in the picture before.

Please note that only files with the *.fboot extension are allowed.

Uploading a file saves it's name and shows it in the web interface. It is advised to carefully choose a filename to separate different versions of PLC application files.
