Configuring jobs for Simatic PCS 7 Route Control

General information

Each data export via PCS 7 Route Control generates a LOG file. This LOG file contains the path to the CSV files. The path to the LOG file must either be a valid network path (accessible via the saved user data) or a local path that can be accessed by the executing device (server/agent).

The UNC job is used for the PCS 7 Route Control data backup. The job searches under the specified path for the latest LOG file and extracts the path to the CSV files.

Procedure

  1. Create a job with the PCS 7 Route Control upload type.

  2. Go to the PCS7 Route Control Settings section.

  3. In the Username and Password fields, enter the credentials of the user, under which the network resources are to be accessed. The user must have the necessary access rights.

  4. In the Resource field, enter the computer name or IP address of the computer that you want to access via the network. Use the Check button to check whether access to the computer or the entered combination of computer and subdirectory is possible.

  5. In the Subdirectory field, enter the path of the subdirectory, if the data is stored in a subdirectory of the network resource.

    Info

    Access to the subdirectory must be possible with the specified login data. One subdirectory per job is supported.

  6. Go to the Advanced section.

  7. Adjust the data specifications in the event of network problems.
  8. Select the Make offline project available to scripting interface checkbox, to upload scripts started by the job to access the latest checked-in version.
