Hy,
I am trying to upload a zip file to the user partition using mappView.
I have found a similar function in the SDM. Here is a link that should work while ArSim is running: B&R System Diagnostics Manager
How can I implement the browse and transfer button in my own HMI?
Greetings Felix
what’s the source of the file you are trying to upload to the user partition?
With the mappServices FileManager(UI) you can browse different FileDevices and copy between them.
It’s also possible to dynamically create FileDevices like when you insert a USB stick. That allows you to copy a file from the USB, navigate to the user partition and paste the file, all using mappView and the FileManangerUI. The mapp-framework contains a full implementation for such a use case.
Hy @marcel.voigt, thank you for your replay.
Using a USB-Stick or other media that has to be physically connected to the PLC is not an option because the PLC is mounted in a mobile machine. It would require to open a screwed down heavy lid to get to the PLC (a X90). To only connection from outside is the network connection. I know that a FTP server would be an option but network drives are disabled on the laptops of our service technicians for security reasons. Thats why a browser based solution would be great.
Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately I can’t think of a truly built in feature to accomplish this. Even if for example the TextPad has some file browsing capability it’s still using the configured FileDevices.
Not sure if DevLink can be an option to configure access to the data storage location.
There are other existing solutions but they rely on additional software like Python to trigger Windows file browsing.
Maybe the new mapp-connect feature in AS6 could be used to implement what you need but I personally have not used it yet so I really don’t know.
Hopefully others will chime in with ideas.
Hi @Felix_Leber ,
You can take a look at this repository that shared some custom widgets : GitHub - br-automation-com/mappView-CustomWidgets: Collection of new and modified mappView widgets
There is a “Transfer” widget Transfer - mappView custom widgets, to be honest I never try it but it seems to be exactly what you need 
Hope that could help !
Regards,
Florent
