USB support
« on: June 20, 2008, 11:32:16 PM »
Being able to use USB "memory sticks" to move programs into the PLC processor module would be a great advantage (similar to the USB port support provided for touch screens).  Many (most?) current laptops no longer have "conventional" serial ports, making such file transfers problematic.

Thanks for a great product line, and excellent support!

Just to clarify what you mean... do you mean that you would like for the PLC CPU itself to have a USB port on it, and when you plug a USB "memory stick" (which has a DirectSOFT Project on it) into the PLC CPU itself, that the Project is automatically transferred to the PLC CPU?
There are two types of people in the world; those that can extrapolate from incomplete data sets.

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond.  I've been through a career change and kind of lost track for awhile!
