eWON File Transfer

Hello, I’m not sure if this question exist already so if it does please redirect me to the correct page.

I’m trying to get monthly files created by a PLC through eWON and download them to my computer. So far I’ve managed to somehow use the basic IDE scripting to copy the file to eWON memory. My big chalange now is how to get these data from eWON to my PC. I’ve already used the url option before in other projects but the problem with data is you can only specify one file name. what if I have 4,5,6 or in my case 12 different file that need downloading each month (they differ each month as well so they don’t have same name). how can I achieved that?

or is there a simpler way that don’t use basic for scripting, that in it’s self is long because I’m having to create different name for each file each time I want to get it to my eWON?

if you want to see my scripting, here it is:

ONDATE 6,“5 0 1 * *”,“GOTO PS_FTP”
ONSTATUS “goto Status”
ONCHANGE “FTP_prep”,“goto PS_FTP”
putFtpId% = 0
getFtpId% = 0
Rem — eWON user (end)
End
Rem — eWON end section: Init Section
Rem — eWON start section: Get Month
Rem — eWON user (start)
FUNCTION get_month$($month_v%)
IF $month_v% = 1 Then
$get_month$ = “Jan”
ENDIF
IF $month_v% = 2 Then
$get_month$ = “Feb”
ENDIF
IF $month_v% = 3 Then
$get_month$ = “Mar”
ENDIF
IF $month_v% = 4 Then
$get_month$ = “Apr”
ENDIF
IF $month_v% = 5 Then
$get_month$ = “May”

your help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello,

This is something that will need to be done through BASIC unfortunately. I think this should be possible by just making a counter with a delay that will send out an email for each of the 12 different cases. Can I have an example of the naming scheme you’d be using for something like the month of January for these 12 files?

Hello, thank you for your reply. Do you mean write a script in basic that will send and email out? how would I achieve that?

The naming format will be as follows: files tag+year+month (example: for a faults log file of the month of May 2019, the name will be “faultsMay2019”

Hi Leo,

You should be able to do something like what is seen below:

ondate monthly email.txt (994 Bytes)

RG-006-0-EN-(Programming Reference Guide).pdf (865.6 KB)

This is setup to run on the first of every month. It also is assuming that you have a tag caled tag, month, and year that it can grab to use for the name of the file.

Let me know if you have any questions

Hello Tim,

Thank you very much for your help. I’ve tried your suggestion and it work perfect. I’ve even customise it to send email based on a flag being raised.
Problem solved.

Thank you so much.
