Create bootable USB stick
Before you can install TwinCAT/BSD on a Industrial PC, you must create a bootable USB stick and upload the current image to the USB stick. Use a flash tool such as Rufus to do this. You can then start Industrial PC from the USB stick and install TwinCAT/BSD.
Requirements for this step:
- Download the Rufus tool from https://rufus.ie/
Note that newer versions of Rufus may not be compatible with hard disk encryption tools. It is therefore recommended to use Rufus 3.13. - USB stick with at least 2 GB storage space.
Proceed as follows:
- 1. Start the Rufus tool on a PC with Windows operating system.
- 2. Click Select and select the image you want to upload to the USB stick.
- 3. Under Device, select a USB stick as the target drive. If only one external drive is connected to your PC, the USB stick will be selected automatically.
Data on the USB stick is irrevocably deleted. - 4. Click Start to upload the image to the USB stick.
- The process may take a few minutes. Do not cancel the process until the message Ready appears. You have successfully created a bootable USB stick and can install TwinCAT/BSD on the Industrial PC in the next step.
