Hello all,
I am needing some assistance with a project of mine. Our customer wants to use a Allen Bradley System to create a CSV file and then send this file via FTP. The customer wants the data to be sent out of the PLC because of security reasons so we cannot have a program come in and grab the data unfortunately. Has anyone created a program like this before?
This is what I have so far:
1. PanelView uses Active X ME CSVDatalogs to perform the logging of data to CSV file.
- This is setup to create a new CSV File every 2 hours and store up to a weeks worth of files. It then begins to delete the oldest file.
2. We then use the FTP Client program that is on the Panelview to attempt to send all the CSV files.
- Currently I cannot send one file at a time since the file name changes every 2 hours.
- So we have to perform a batch upload of all files
- One issue we have been running into is if the first file that the FTP Client program tries to send is not located on the server it aborts and fails. I am currently working on something to try and get this fixed or have another option but so far nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
