10.5.6 Define Log File Parameters for Emailing Log Files
The DXM Controller can email log files generated on the device.
Before emailing log files, set the Mail and Messaging parameters to provide the login credentials. When using Ethernet,
verify the IP address settings are defined on the Network screen. Set the DXM Controller time, under Settings >
General, so that all data is properly time stamped.
Select the registers to log on the Local Registers > Register Configuration screen. Define the setup of the log file
using the Settings > Logging screen. Typical settings are shown.
1. Enable the log and timestamp with every entry.
2. Enter the filename, log rate, and the maximum file size to send via email (5 to 10k is an efficient size for a cellular
connection).
3. Define the email address.
4. Define the local register data put into the log file using the Local Registers > Local Register Configuration
screen, under the Logging and Protocol Conversion section. From the SD Card Logging drop-down list, select
the log file to write to. Log files are written in CSV format.
5. Use the DXM Configuration Tool to read back the log files. Under Settings > Logging, click Refresh List,
highlight the file to download, then click Save Selected.
10.6 Ethernet and Cellular Push Retries
The DXM Controller can be configured to send register data packets to a webserver. When the Ethernet or cell
communications path is not operating, the DXM Controller retries the send procedure. The communications retry process is
outlined below for each configuration.
