Configuring jobs for Keyence CV-X Intuitive Vision System

The automatic backup of Keyence CV-X projects is carried out using FTP upload.

  1. Create a job with the FTP upload type.
  2. Go to the FTP Settings section.
  3. In the FTP server field, enter the IP address of the FTP server with which you want to build a connection.
  4. From the Connection type dropdown menu, select the connection type that you want to use for the communication.
  5. From the FTP client library dropdown menu, libcurl is set by default.
  6. In the Port field, enter the port that you want to use for the communication. Port 21 is automatically preselected.
  7. To use FTP passive mode, select the corresponding checkbox.
  8. If required, enter the credentials for the user account used to access the FTP server. Depending on the server configuration, this step may be optional as uploads can also be performed without a username or password.

  9. If the data is stored in a subdirectory on the FTP server, specify the path in the Subdirectory field. Ensure that the login credentials provide access to the specified subdirectory. By default, the Subdirectory field is set to \SD1.

    Info

    octoplant supports up to 10 subdirectories per job. If only one subdirectory is specified, the backup does not display the entire path on the FTP server, but only the last directory:

    Example:

    • Path on the FTP server: /file1/subdirectory1/*
    • Composition of the backup: Archive.zip/*

    If you enter multiple subdirectories, the entire directory structure will be included in the backup.

    Example:

    • Path on the FTP server: /file1/subdirectory1/subdirectory2 and /file1/subdirectory1/1234
    • Composition of the backup: Archive.zip/Folder1/Subfolder1/Subfolder2 and Archive.zip/Folder1/Subfolder1/1234

  10. Select the Check button to verify that login to the FTP server is possible with the specified credentials. If the check fails, the job cannot be executed successfully.
