 Overview of function
• The FTP client function is used to transmit data and files between PLC and FTP servers
using the file transmission protocol.
• Two transfer methods are available, which are an arbitrary transfer by the transfer setting
and an automatic transfer when a logging/trace file is determined.
 FTP file transfer
Specified files in an SD memory card or contents in the operation memory are filed with the
transfer trigger specified with the setting tool or an instruction, and uploaded to FTP servers,
or files downloaded from FTP servers are saved into an SD memory card or reflected in the
operation memory.
