Red Lion Crimson 3, FtpPutFile

Hello all, need a bit of help, I am using the FtpPutFile command in Crimson 3, its working well, but the return from this command stays on all the time.

Here is the line of code:

"File_Sent_OK = FtpPutFile(0, FileName, FileName, 0);"

File_Sent_OK stays on all the time after you send the file with the FtpPutFile command, what I want it to do is clear when another button is pressed on the screen.

I have tried using if statements: " IF (Start_Test) {
File_Sent_OK = 0;}"

But this isnt working and it still stays lit. Is there anyway I can clear this return from the command??

Thanks, Edm

Is the instruction continually being executed or is it tied to a PLC memory location that is READ ONLY?

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like you need a conditional or something to make sure FtpPutFile is only executed once, otherwise File_Sent_OK is going to be continuously written over.

Red Lion Tech Support gave me the following info;

"On the File_Sent_OK tag set up a trigger for an active on or data match (if its a numeric tag). Set the value to 1 (if its a numeric tag). The action of the trigger will be to turn its self off. You can delay that action up 60,000ms. I would try it that way and it should work. "

This worked well.
