MaintenenceENG Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 we are trying to use a plc to connect to the network so it can automatically reload a data table periodically to make sure it is up to date. As well as how to have an excel sheet be converted to a udtf format for the plc so that we don't need to manually do that each time. I am currently only finding how to load files from an SD card, and not how to use the Ethernet connection to retrieve files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted March 23, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 The SD card on a UniStream is accessible from the UniStream's built-in FTP server if it is enabled. That will let you read or write all the files on the card. It's under PLC Communications->Protocols. Is this what you are looking for? As far as automatically converting an Excel sheet to a .udtf file, I'd upload your spreadsheet to the SD card in .csv format and then use the Convert CSV to UDTF function as you see fit. Joe T.
