mappRecipe using error in Automation Studio 6.3

Hello,

I’m trying to use mappRecipe in AS6.3, but there seems to ​be​ some error. As I try to make the save command, there is an error ID -1064140799. This error ​ID​ seems to tell me that ​I might have made​ a mistake in ​the​ device name or file name. However, ​a similar program has been tested​ in AS4.12, ​where it works well. Is there any other ​possible issue​? Thank you so much for your help.

Here is some setting in my project.

It is not allowed anymore to write on the D: partition since AR A4.91 and later.

You should define a size for the USER partition and use the default file device USER.

Thanks, that’s make sense. :smiley:

@corne.geerts is this also the case at a Windows laptop during simulation mode?

We used to have a File Device which points to: C:\Temp\PLC_USER in AS4.12:

I now changed that to USER_PATH, as statet above, and this works.

But it would be easier to have the files on a fixed position. Is that still possible?

See here
In ARsim, the directory corresponding to USER_PATH is found at \<WorkingPath>\USER\.
So it’ll be at <YourProjectPath>\Temp\Simulation\<Configuration>\<CPU>\USER\
That’s “a fixed position”

Also, you don’t need to distinguish between simulation and real target with USER_PATH - both point to whatever the user partition is, thus you can simply use the same File device - unlike before, where you had to have “CFSimu” pointing anywhere on C:\for you and “RealCF” pointing to "C:" or "F:" or whatever you had there
