3.4 Transferring Data Files from the GX/GP
(FTPclientfunction)
The display data, event data, report data, snapshot data, alarm summary data, and manual
sample data files or setting files that are created in the internal memory of the GX/GP can be
automatically transferred via FTP when the files are created.
You can specify two file transfer destinations (FTP servers): primary and secondary. If the
primary FTP server is down, the file is transferred to the secondary FTP server.
If the report template function is in use, report files in Excel format and report files in PDF
format that are created in the external storage medium of the GX/GP can be automatically
transferred when the files are created.
