Do-more - loading strings
« on: June 10, 2016, 02:28:04 PM »
I have an application where I need to load SS and SL strings from a Excel spreadsheet.
I managed to do this using a PowerShell script that streams the strings in using "STREAMIN".
This actually works quite well but I am wondering if anyone else has found a way to load data to the Do-more,
is there a mechanism/software available for this?

There is a bulk import/export csv file mechanism in the Memory View from within Do-more Designer, but I think you are wanting some kind of programmatic access?

Do you need the Do-more PLC to be the master (polling) or be the slave (PC sends as needed)?  I am guessing you want Designer to be the Slave.  PLCnut may have some ideas.

Thanks for the tip about Memory View, didn't know about that.
I don't mind the script approach but don't want to manually connect and download view software.

Will the PC or the PLC initiate the transaction?

Either PLC or PC can initiate the connection. If the PLC could that might be the cleanest.

Thanks, I will look at that.
Never thought of GET commands.
