In the general log settings, you enable data logging, configure the CSV log file format, and enable some PLC-controlled logging functions.
Internal memory: The file path for this setting is /home/log/log.
Approx. 2.4GB of internal memory are available for user data.
USB flash drive: The file path for this setting is /log.
When two USB flash drives are connected, the one connected first will be used.
Temporary: This is a volatile memory that can be used for testing because it permits shorter cycle times (e.g. 2s without caching). In real applications, short cycle times should be avoided to extend the lifetime of the non-volatile flash memory.
When a script is used to send files via FTP, the local file will be renamed when transmission was successful (to make sure it will not be resent). The file will be deleted when this setting is enabled.
This setting is required if you use the KW Watcher software tool which uses this format.
Select the number of header rows in your log files. A log file is a CSV file with the data point values. The set of data points captured at the same time is called a record.
No header: The CSV file only contains the logged data.
1 row: The CSV file contains one header row with the data point name.
2 rows: The CSV file contains two header rows with the data point name and the data point unit.
3 rows: The CSV file contains three header rows with the column number, the data point name, and the data point unit.
User-defined format: Select this option to load a pre-defined format. You can also create your own file format.
The following control and monitor functions are available:
Trigger stop: Control bit to deactivate the logging trigger and stop logging data in the FP-I4C unit.
Log file creation: Status bit which turns to TRUE when a log file is being created.
Clear cache: Control bit to forcibly clear the records in the cache.
Clear cache completed: Status bit which turns to TRUE when clear cache is completed.
When you have changed any settings, a Save button appears in the upper right corner of the screen. You can make changes on multiple pages and then save your settings.
To reset all settings on the current page to the default configuration, select the Reset button at the bottom of the page.
