Datalog Functions
Datalog files are maintained to periodically record controller data to a disk file for future
analysis. Protocol Manager can maintain two different types of datalog files from
networked controllers.
Profile Datalogs
– are initiated automatically when a controller is remotely started
running, and are closed automatically when the controller stops running. Profile
datalogs are useful for jobs that are based on a specific process run.
Log Datalogs
– are initiated, and subsequently closed, manually, using the Controller
Run Time Window, regardless of the controller's running status. Log Datalogs are
useful for jobs that are not related strictly to an entire, single process run.
Both types of datalog files will contain header information, followed by periodic data
records. Header information and record data are set for both types of datalogs in the
Profile Datalog Window. Both types of files will be stored in the Log File Folder path
indicated in the Profile Datalog window.
The Profile Datalog window also allows setting file naming options and log entry interval
options for Profile Datalogs.
The Lot Datalog window is used to enable Lot Datalogs, and set the Log Entry interval
specifically for Lot Datalogs.
