ExportParameterSets Help/Bug?

Hello.

I am replacing a TP700 Comfort panel with a Unified Panel, and ran into some issues.

On the old panel we have a simple function for exporting/backing up all recipes in the panel. The user insert the USB, get s "green" indicator when the USB is found and can then click a button "Backup all recipes".

I am trying to do the same in the Unified Comfort panel.

I have dedicated the X63 USB port for this, and manually specified the path (via TAG) to:
/media/simatic/X63/RecipeBackup.tsv
I want to avoid that the operator has to manually browse to the USB drive.

I run the function ExportParameterSets and get a "success" as status. but no file is created on the drive.

I also cannot find how to "detect" the USB-drive, to make a "green" indicator for USB ready.

Hi,

Have you checked whether the export file is created by using the file browser on the Unified Comfort Panel or after unplugging the USB flash drive on your computer? I ask because it's a known issue that there is no way to safely eject USB sticks.

Since V18 you can use the IsDirectory method to check if the mounted directory exists. This would allow you to detect an inserted USB stick

Kind regards
Stefan
