Title: How do I transfer BRX data logging file to an external USB stick
Post by: scott@forefrontcontrols on January 17, 2022, 10:54:27 AM

I am using a BRX PLC with a C-more EA9 HMI on a test usit.  I can collect needed data with the FILE LOG function in the PLC, which puts it in a ".csv" format which is what my customer wants.  I need to transfer the log files from the PLC to a removable USB stick.   How do I do this?

From within Do-more Designer, on the PLC menu, select "Browse PLC File Systems. From the browser, select the SD Card and transfer the desired files to the PC.

Or, if you don't have a PC connected to DmD, safely remove the uSD card and put it in a uSD card reader that has a USB port.  But this may require powering down the PLC or having previously put a FILESYSCMD - Dismount (and Mount?) in the HMI or similar.
