With a SoMachineBasic version <1.5 such question “how to download” did/does not exist, because when On line connected to the PLC M221 it’s simply possible to transfert an application configurated with protection “view and download’ without knowing/entering the password as explained into the help below



But with SoMachineBasic version >1.5 this is no more possible to achieve directly such download , we need to proceed with few steps which are demonstrated into the attached videos:

1^st Step Offline preparation with the application to be downloaded later we create a set of files

/library/SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC/SE_LOCAL/APS/APS_INDUSTRY/PhB_FAQ/Step1OfflinePreparion.mov
These files could be send by e-mail , example creating M221DownloadnoPassword.zip :
/library/SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC/SE_LOCAL/APS/APS_INDUSTRY/PhB_FAQ/Step1bZip.mov


2^nd Step Online in front of the machine, eg for maintenancy people, download procedure without having the password (after unzip somewhere of the received M221DownloadNoPassword.zip package)

/library/SCHNEIDER_ELECTRIC/SE_LOCAL/APS/APS_INDUSTRY/PhB_FAQ/Step2DownloadToM221.mov

Note: this procedure seems to be little bit tricky, but there is no other way to download a protected application without knowing the password from the version V1.5SP1 and upper versions
