Hi all,

I'm seeking your help today on the following:

I have a working Powershell script on a Windows 10 PC that downloads the DataLogs from a S7-1200 every hour. It has an username and password in the script for the webserver.

No problems - all works perfect. 

The problem starts when I password protect the PLC (so it asks for a password when connecting to it through TIA portal (I'm using V15.1).

When the PLC is password protected, it still connects to the PLC, downloads some general files (that I usually delete) but it refuses to download the DataLogs that I need.

The odd thing is, when I connect through a web browser manually I can access the files OK.

I think the password prohibits the cookie.txt file because I also got certificate errors that I never have seen before, worked around that but the Powershell script does not download DataLogs.

I have the script attached. username admin and password pwd, are just placeholders,

Any ideas how I can still password protect the PLC and still use Powershell to download the files?

Thank you!

Hi!

Yes, I understand that, the question is how do I do this as the password for the PLC and the webserver are different.

Maybe this is more a Powershell and less of a PLC question? I hoped someone else would have had the same problem and found a solution.

Thanks!

Hello,

Did you try use certificate connection?

PowerShell Remoting over HTTPS with a self-signed SSL certificate

Good Luck🏆

Best regards!
