Configuration of FTP Server (< CBP 2.4)

  1. Open/Create a project for a PLC with onboard ETHERNET (i.e. PM5xx-ETH).

  2. Configure the onboard ETHERNET.

  3. Select: Node “IP_Settings” >> Tab”Extended settings” >> checkbox “FTP-Server active”.

  4. Configure the FTP server:

    “Port”

    –> TCP/IP-Port used to connect to the FTP-Server on the PLC.

    “Sessions”

    –> maximum number of allowed simultaneous, parallel connections to the FTP-server

    each session uses one socket

    some FTP clients require several connections to work

    “Passwords”

    –> set each user’s passwords for login (no entry means = no password).

  5. Create configuration & download project to PLC.

If the checkbox “Allow Firmware update” is activated, you can download a PLC firmware to the ramdisk and the PLC will automatically update the device with the downloaded firmware. Afterwards a restart of the PLC is required. For further details please see FW_UPDATE_DOCUMENTATION.

Note

The system ramdisk should only be used for Firmware updates.

If the TCP protocol listens on the configured FTP port, the server is ready for login.
