FB40 for FTP client mode
For communication via a TCP connection configured with the “Use FTP protocol”
option, use the FTP block FB40.
The block execution time in FTP depends on the reaction times of the partner and
the length of the user data; a general statement about the times is therefore not
possible.
The functions used in the predecessor modules for FTP transfer (FC40...FC44)
can continue to be used.
Additional features of FB40:
S Simplification in the user program due to working with command variable
instead of differing function calls
S Additional function “APPEND”
“APPEND” allows data to be appended to an existing file.
S Additional function “RETR_PART”
“RETR_PART” allows data areas to be selected and read from a file.
5.8 Characteristic data for the use of Java applets
To transfer larger amounts of data efficiently from the S7BeansAPI using Java
applets and the Java bean “S7Variable”, you can make use of arrays.
Maximum array size
Depending on the transfer direction, the maximum size of arrays is as follows:
S When writing data to the CPU
164 bytes
S When reading data from the CPU
210 bytes
Note
Please note that the maximum block size in bytes is specified here and that the
maximum number of array elements is decided by the byte size of the array basic
data type.
