Introduction

In this example we see how to read a SD card into the PLC through Ethernet connection. We will show how to create a server that when there is a request through a browser, you will see the directories and the files of the SD card.

Follow this post to ensure a good connection of the SD Card on the Ethernet PLC!

Requirements

Ethernet PLC:   

   MDuino Family Products

Arduino SD Library: 

  Arduino SD Library

Software

Once all is connected correctly, the next step is to make the right configuration of the Ethernet port and create the server:
