Overview
This guide offers step by step instructions to use the MachineLogic Launcher Python program.
The goal of this program is to allow you to run a MachineLogic program on start-up of your machine.
Uploading the Python program to MachineMotion
1- Connect to MachineMotion using the Ethernet port 192.168.7.2
2- Connect to Cloud9 using the following URL address 192.168.7.2:3000 (via Google Chrome)
3- Open the User_python_application folder on the left-hand side as seen in the image
below
4- Drag and drop the Python ML_launcher.py program into this file.
5- Open the file and change the “MLapp” to the name of your MachineLogic application (refer
to figure 3 to identify the name of the MachineLogic program name)
6- Open the mm-python-api file and drag and drop the MachineMotion.py file into
User_python_application. Refer to the image below to see how your final folder
should look like.
Launching the Python program on start up
Now that you have your sensors configured the last step is to set this program to run on start up so
the program would always be running in the background when MachineMotion is turned on.
1- Connect to MachineMotion using the Ethernet port 192.168.7.2
2- Connect to Control Center using the following URL address 192.168.7.2 (via Google Chrome)
3- Open Application Launcher

application will run on start-up
