Mul File Main Page

Mul

Overview

The master directory contains all the information required to run the winMulti software. This folder is referenced in the Masterdir File and could be located anywhere, but is generally found in the following locations

Common Locations

	Configuration	Location	Notes
Latest	Machines with centralised control (All TwinCAT3 Machines - ZX5s , Beckhoff upgraded machines, software upgrades to v6)	c:\ddrive\
	Machines with front end winMulti on a beckhoff PC	d:\ (Memory Stick or network drive)	A USB stick was originally used to minimise the use of hard drive space, and to provide a simple method of PC replacement. However a memory stick will corrupt after a couple of years of use, and the general change to use a shared directory on another PC was adopted.
	Machines with a seperate machine and saw hardware configuration (original flowlines and ZX3/4)	c:\multi\
Oldest	DOS Machines	c:\
