I have a project where we use F:\ on the PLC to store a configuration file for the machine I’m working on. We’re using an APC3100 with AR only.
After installing my project on the PLC, I’ll use a FTP client to transfer the configuration file to the PLC.
I wonder if it is possible to include my configuration file in the installation package that I create when performing an offline installation?
Best regards

You can do this by using the “Automatic transfer of user files” configuration. Instructions can be found in Automation Help, link below.
Interesting! Does this information also applies if I’m using F:\ on the PLC instead of an user partition on C:\ ?
The files are always transferred to the root of the User Partition (F:). The folder you choose in the dialog is the location of the files on your computer.
As a tip it can be inside the Automation Studio project and I usually create a “UserFiles” package to the project and the folder structure required by the project inside this package.
Ok, thanks. I will try this!
No wait a minute, this only applies if you do a transfer, right?
My question was about including a user file in a project installation package. I need to do the initial installation from an USB.
They are also included in the PIP package
