How to Create a Shared Folder Connection with Allen-Bradley PV+ 7 HMI for CSV File Generation?

Question:

Hello everyone, I am wondering if it is feasible to establish a shared folder connection between my laptop and my Allen-Bradley PV+ 7" Standard HMI (model number 2711P-T10C21D8S Series D). My goal is to generate a .csv file, input data, and save it to a shared folder accessible on the PV+. Can this be achieved? Thank you.

I am currently utilizing FTME and I am wondering if this will necessitate the use of SE. Thank you once again.

Should I communicate with the PLC directly and exclude the HMI from the process for optimal results?

If you own a Plus and are skilled in dancing Samba, then the answer is affirmative.

According to L33er, if you own a Plus model and possess Samba dancing skills, then the answer is yes. Interested in learning more about Samba?

Yes, it is quite feasible. Your Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 7 Standard HMI supports file transfers via FTP server. You can set up an FTP client on your laptop and establish a connection with the HMI. By doing this, you should be able to generate a .csv file on your laptop and save it directly to the desired location on the PanelView Plus. Once it's saved, you should be able to access it from the HMI. Just make sure your firmware version supports this as older versions might not.
