an inquiry, kindly help:)

Hi,

If the PC (thru a VB programming) is able to send a textfile to the PLC, is it possible that the PLC can send a textfile to the PC?
Is it a textfile that it can send?(if it can)

In general, yes. Strings only.

No. I can't.
You have not provided sufficient information.
If your PLC supports strings, and your OPC Server can read them from the PLC, then your VB Whatever can get them.

PLC's do not, in general, support "Textfiles", but a "Textfile" is just a bunch of strings.
