Description of masterdir.saw file

masterdir, startup Masterdir_File_Annotation_2019-11-12_075131.jpg

The masterdir.saw file is very important. It is located in the startup directory of the winMulti or winSaw control programs.

The file points to the working directory of the front end software which is used for:

• Initialisation files (*.saw, *.mul)
• Diagnostic records
• Archive files

Control Software	Machines		Examples
winSaw	Saw only	Contains one text line directing the software to the running directory	c:\saw\ d:\
winMulti	All others	Two text lines Directing to the MH side running directory Directing to the saw side running directory	c:\multi\ c:\saw\

Examples

Autoflow with Beckhoff front end PC and Camera PC - .mul and .saw data stored in c:\DDRIVE\ on CameraPC - mapped directory d: from front end	d:\ d:\
Flowline On Nextmove System with separate MH and Saw PC - .mul data stored on MH in c:\multi\ - .saw data stored on MH in c:\saw\ - Saw mapped directory d:\ to MH c:\saw	MH side c:\multi\ c:\saw\	Saw Side d:\
Ecoline or Autoflow with Beckhoff front end PC and DDRIVE on a memory stick - .mul and .saw data stored in d:\DDDRIVE	d:\ddrive\ d:\ddrive\
ZX with Front end PC and Beckhoff backend controlling both MH and Saw side - .mul and .saw data stored in c:\DDDRIVE	c:\ddrive\ c:\ddrive\

...This allows full flexibility to put the running directory on a different PC via a shared drive, which is important if the front end PC has limited hard drive space
