The Online > Create boot application command allows you to create a controller application that is automatically started after it has been downloaded from the EcoStruxure Machine Expert PC to the controller.
NOTE: This function is restricted to controller applications. HMI applications do not support this feature.
The boot application automatically will be stored as <applicationname>.app on the controller.
