Uploading Product Recipe files

[DHague]

Hi,

Is there a way to upload a product recipe file, and if there is how would I create a system to do that.

For example:
I have a machine that builds walls. Every wall is different (ie. different stud placement). I need a user to be able to press a “upload recipe file” button and somehow get the recipe file that contains instructions on how to build the wall they want into the Rapid Scada system. Preferably this would bring up a windows file explorer window for them to choose a file. However, any way to do this would work even if it is a text input to specify a file path.

Hi,
To upload a file, a plugin should be developed.
If the recipe file is uploaded, how it will be executed?

These files are a list of instructions that are read by the program controlling the machine with an operation and position for the operation to occur at. Once the controlling program has read the file it will behave accordingly.

So if we continued my previous example: a user would upload a file with instructions on where to put a stud in a wall, the machine would place the stud and nail it into place at however many mm was specified.

Here is an example of a recipe:

Frame_Height,2743.0
Frame_Width,89.0
Num_Of_Operations,10

Thank you for the description.
It is possible to develop a plugin that provides a web page that uploads a file and save it somewhere on the server side if it solves your task. It can be done by a .NET developer. Be careful, because uploaded files may harm the system if it is available from the global internet.
