Comfort Panel as FTP server - possible? suggests that the panels are not capable of acting as an FTP server. FTP/FTPS communication with S7-1500 and CP 1543-1 talks about the capability of the CM1543-1 to act as an FTP server. The problem is that there is no simple way to get a file from the panel to the CM: the CM maps PLC data blocks to files, so the HMI would have to load the data from its file into a datablock in the PLC. Possible, but not simple. A simpler solution might be to use a small IPC as a file store & FTP server. Comfort Panels can access NAS or Windows shared folders (see Integrating HMI Operator Panels in TCP/IP Networks and access to a NAS or to a shared Windows folder). I don't recall if Basic Panels can do this - check the control panel settings to see if you can configure this. There is 3rd party software available to make a Windows or Linux computer act as an FTP server. |

Thank you very much mmckay. That was really helpfull. Finally, i've decided to take the 3rd option and I created a shared file where i'll be downloading the .csv documents. It worked perfectlly. Now my problem is that, each time that i reboot the machine i need to log-on the panel network settings in order to communicate with the shared folder... There is the possibility to create some script to auto-fill this user and password? Any idea will be welcomed! Thanks again!
