What HMI model are you using? You can check by script. "\Storage Card USB" and "\Storage Card USB2" Dim fcFs On Error Resume Next '16 = VbDirectory If fcFs.Dir ("\Storage Card USB", 16) = "Storage Card USB" Then ''OK Else '' No OK End If fcFs.Close Set fcFs = Nothing good luck.

Thetwe12ve How do you get your program to see the usb on the Hmi, I have my script in the program. The program just does not see the usb drive. The Hmi by itself does.

Thetwe12ve Posts: 9 Rating: (0)	Hi Im using tia 18 with a MTP700 and S71200 1215 DC/DC/DC I'm Using this script for the button, but (novice) cant see the usb during runtime. This previously worked in v16, just updated to 18 and no longer functional. We used this screen to download our datalogs to usb, which wasn't functional in tia v17.

Thetwe12ve Posts: 9 Rating: (0)	It's an internal hmi tag, thats the only place it is. No connection anywhere esle. I'm guessing it needs plc connection for input/output.

Otherwise it would always be at it's start value. Like rdvoliveira wrote how you can do it with Comfort panel. Also, I do not know why it is an integer. Could be that it is connected to some actual HMI status. Maybe this thread should be moved to WinCC Unified.

Would you please elaborate on your requirements, your V16 solution, and your V18 issues? At the moment I have no idea what V16 functionality might be missing in V18. Kind regards Stefan

The idea is a little bit different from the VB example. ------------------ HMIRuntime.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("/media/simatic/X61/Test").then( function() { HMIRuntime.Trace("Directory successfully created"); HMIRuntime.Tags("USBx61").Write(1); HMIRuntime.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("/media/simatic/X61/Test").then( function() { HMIRuntime.Trace("Directory successfully deleted"); }); }) .catch(function(errorCode) { HMIRuntime.Tags("USBx61").Write(0); }); ---------------- If you run this Script cyclic in the scheduled taks then you will have the current availability of a specific USB Device. The delay depends on the cycle of the job and +- a few seconds for the mounting/dismounting action of the panel Bye Murof

Thetwe12ve Posts: 9 Rating: (0)	Hello, How did you initiate this task? With a button or just when the page is loaded on the hmi?
