CtrlX + active mPad - LabelPrinter - ParCmd.PathAndFilename

[emeaszi7bp1]

Hi!

We are facing an issue with LabelPrinter object at our current project. Our problem is, that the label printer object needs a file for printing. CtrlX core does not have a windows files system to store files, so we tried to use the active mPad to store the needed file, but it seems like we cannot set ParCmd.PathAndFilename to find the uploaded file.

Can you please help me, what can be the correct workaround to make the object work with Ctrlx?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

yes ctrlX has no Windows file system but there is a way to add files on the ctrlX via browser. You need to put files into plc/run/linux-gcc-x64/data once you've done this you should be able to access these files from the plc. To access file from PLC you only need to write filename with extension. E.g. Testfile.txt (you don't write the whole path to the file. Everything is relativ to the data folder)

 1. Open file browser on ctrlX webserver

 2. Go to PLC Runtime and optional engineering data

 3. Navigate to plc/run/linux-gcc-x64/data

 4. Upload your file

 PS: I don't have a Zebra print available for testing. So I can't perform any tests.
