<div class="markdown_content"><p>If you can read the file, moving string data to an array of strings shouldn't be an issue.<br/> 1) What does your data on file look like?<br/> 2) Build a struct element which can hold this re-occuring data<br/> 3) Read from 1 to N elements data into array of struct element<span>[N]</span></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I'm currently solving it using Ladder, but I can also try it in FBD. I transferred the file (which contains 15 numbers) into the PLC memory using FTP, used a function to open the file and read it. Right now i'm struggling to move the numbers from the file to an array.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>short primer: on how to tackle this.</p> <p>1 choose the right language to implement the code, Structered Text is imho the most suited. FBD or CFC could also be used, but that is a matter of taste. In your case something visual like FBD or CFC is probably advised since you say you are a beginner and do not provide any previous programming experience.</p> <p>2 write an code (FB) that can open, close, read and write files from disk.<br/> If you need examples, try to google for it or ask your OEM supplier for examples </p> <p>3 read a file into memory and organise it using an array.</p> <p>good luck</p></div>
