Function Block FS_MKDIR

The Function Block FS_MKDIR creates a new folder.

The file system must have been initialized beforehand using FS_INIT. All operations are performed asynchronously per configured storage medium.

Input MAKE

A positive edge will create the specified folder.

Input DEV

Defines the device from which files should be accessed. The device is used per project and can be managed in the context menu under Project ▸ External Storage.

Input PATH

Specifies the path to the folder on the storage medium. The path corresponds to a Unix file path in UTF-8 format, if this is supported. The path is represented as follows:

Folder/Subfolder

Input RECURSIVE

If the input is true, the entire folder path including subfolders will be created.

Output DONE

The output returns a pulse upon success to perform the next operation. The pulse occurs when the process ends, even if an error has occurred.

Output ERROR

In case of an error, it returns a text with an error message. This is FALSE if no error has occurred. The state is stored for later use.

Possible causes:

• The service of the storage medium was not started.

• The memory was not initialized.
• The login credentials are invalid.
• The remote server could not be reached.
• The storage medium does not exist.
• The specified path is invalid.
• Writing to the storage medium is not possible.
• No more storage space available on the memory or the memory is write-protected.
