Reading the Directory of a CF Card in a CJ1 PLC

[Eric Apperley 0]

I don't see a command in either the FINS or Hostlink protocols to read the directory of a CF card in a PLC, but maybe I've missed something. Do I need to use Toolbus protocol for this function, or is it a specialised form of "File Read" (e.g. like Linux where everything is a File)? Is there anything published on how to do this on C-series (CJ1 or CS) PLC's? Eric

Have you had a look at the 'File Name Read' FINS command? Section 5-3-32 manual W342. This command will return file names and attributes etc off the CF card (or file memory). Nibroc

Thanks for that (sorry, I was mistakenly looking for a command like "Directory"). Edited 2 Oct 2006 by Eric Apperley
