Remote pages screenshots management
The JPG pages print to file takes usually place by saving the files inside the local disk, on the system where the HMI program is running.This could be not eligible when it’s required to use an optional USB mass storage by inserting it inside one system only.It’s possible to activate the remote transfer of screenshots to a remote system, by using some parameters with the CallFunction “PrintScreenJpg”, available on pages. Example:
The keyword “remote_send” must be followed by user and password to be used for the remote system FTP connection (in the example: “telnet” and “gefranseven”).The remote system IP address is automatically got from the “default” set (please have a look at previous chapter “Remote system management with GSetup”).Please note: the screenshot transfer takes place in background and it could require up to 1 minute to appear inside the available file list on remote system. However, in the meantime, it’s possible to call as many screenshots as you want, which will be appended on the background list to be sent.Please also remember that it’s possible to change the default screenshot names (locally generated or coming from remote HMI) by calling GFB_SYS(715) on the system where the files will be stored (e.g.: the PLC).Remote system must be a version > or = to 4.7.0.
