Guys,
I have to design a Compactlogix system which takes ASCII data from an Ethernet feed, chops it up and sends it to different fields in a laser label printer. This I can cope with and don't have too many problems with. However the customer wants a backup system, where he can put all the data to be printed in a text file on a USB stick. Is it possible to use the USB port on a PanelView HMI to transmit a text file to the PLC? If not any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
