Logging Function
Logs (records) digital output values or digital operation values. 10000 points of data can be logged for each channel. Logging
data are stored in the buffer memory area. In addition, the data collection can be stopped by using the status change of the
data as a trigger. This function also helps the error analysis since the data before and after the occurrence of an error is held.

■
Collecting logging data
Logging data is collected as follows.
• 10000 points of the latest digital output values or digital operation values can be always collected for each channel.
• It can be collected at the specified interval (logging cycle).
When the number of stored data points is 10001 or greater, data is sequentially overwritten from address 0
with new data.
■
Stopping the logging operation
The logging data is refreshed at high speed during logging. Stop logging when the logging data needs to be referred without
paying attention to the refreshing cycle.
Logging can be stopped by the hold trigger.
• A hold trigger allows two options: Logging hold request or Level trigger.
• The number of data points to be collected after a hold trigger occurs can be set.
(1)
Head pointer
The address of the oldest data in logging data can be checked.
(2)
Latest pointer
The address of the latest data in logging data can be checked.
(1)
Logging hold request
A hold trigger is generated from a program at any timing.
(2)
Level trigger
A hold trigger is generated when a stored value in a buffer memory area is monitored and the
set condition is satisfied as follows.
Example: When the stored value exceeds or falls below the set value, a hold trigger is
generated.
(3)
Post-trigger logging points
When the set points of data is collected after a hold trigger is generated, the logging operation
is stopped.
