Live Updating

(1/1)

Keithang:
Good Day,

I was wondering if it is possible to automatic Input Values into Controller\Display using a CSV File.

Scenario:
I have a Server that is constantly changing values - these values need to be updated on Controller\Display regularly.
Eg. Hole 1 Depth ; Hole 2 Depth ; Hole 3 Depth

Whilst Drilling - the Controller must receive an update from server to say what depth it needs to be at for the required hole.

Is there a way to automate this?

oiltronic:
If I understand correctly, you want a running display to scan a file to receive updated control parameters, correct?

If so, then no, there are no built-in functions to read data from a file while running.  If I had to do this, I would use an Ethernet-to-CAN bridge/adapter and craft a little script sitting on the server or a nearby PC to pull the server and push out a period CAN message.  Then you can use the built-in CAN functions on the display to extract and sanity-check the incoming data.
