Enable Operation Log Function

Specifies whether to use the Operation Log feature or not

SRAM Records

Select the number of times to save to backup memory (SRAM) from 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500.

The operation log size is determined by the selected [SRAM Records].

Operations to Log

Select the functions for Operations to Log from [Bit Switch], [Word Switch], [Change Screen Switch], [Special Switch], [Selector Switch], [Data Display], [Sampling Data Display], [Show CSV], [System Menu], [Start], [Offline], and [Change Language].

In Initialization Settings, all of the functions are targeted as Operations to Log.

Save Data

Save in

Select [CF Card] (or [SD Card]) or [USB Storage] as the [Save in] location when outputting the Operation Log to a CSV file, or when exceeding the number of entries that can be saved in SRAM.

Record Status Address

Specifies the address that confirms the write status for saving to external storage.

Status

While outputting the operation log file, the Transferring bit turns ON. When the file output is complete, the Transferring Completion Bit turns ON.

The error status indicates the following conditions.

Bit 12 to 15	Description	Introduction
0000	Completed Successfully	When the backup process is completed successfully.
0100	No external storage	The external storage was not inserted when backing up, or the CF Card cover is open
0101	Write Error	There was insufficient space in external storage or external storage was removed during writing. SD card is write protected.
0111	CF Card/USB storage error	CF card/USB storage is not correctly formatted or is invalid.

Save Mode

Sets actions when saving operation logs.

Direct

When [New] is selected, a new CSV file will be created.
When [Append] is selected, data is added to the existing CSV file.

Address

Specifies an address to change the action for saving data. When the specified address turns OFF, New is selected. When the address turns ON, Append is selected.

You can append up to 10000 data in one CSV file.

Operation Trigger

Specifies whether or not to save at a specified timing when you want to save the operation log at a given timing.

Retain Control Bit Address

Turn ON the designated Bit to start writing in external storage.

Operation when there is insufficient space

Specifies the operation when there is not enough space in external storage.

Stop Operation Log

Stop outputting to the file of the operation log at the "Save in" location. When the next operation is conducted, recording of the operation log completely stops, and nothing is recorded.

First in First out Data Queue

Delete the oldest file saved in external storage and then save the collected data.

Add IP address to log when operating from Pro-face Remote HMI

When using Pro-face Remote HMI to operate the next display unit screen, the client IP address is also saved to the operation log.

SP5000 Series
IPC Series
GP4000 Series (excluding GP-4100 Series, GP-4201TM, GP-4301TM, GP-4201TW)

You can select this option when the [Enable Operation Log Function] check box is selected.

CSV File Format Settings

Set the Display Format when saving to CSV file.

Date

Select the display format for dates, from mm/dd/yy (month/day/year), mm/dd (month/day), yy/mm/dd (year/month/day), dd/mm/yy (day/month/year).

Append value to log

While recording the operation log, set whether to obtain the values stored in the specified Data Word Address.

If [Save Mode] [Direct] [Append] is selected, and settings in [Append value to log] are changed, when the project is transferred and logging starts, two groups of data will exist in the same file - data with values and data without values. If you do not want to have two data sets, before transfer delete the operation log file in the external storage or rename the folder where data is being saved.

Update Data Value

Sets a time to obtain Data Word Address values.

Always On

Values are acquired every time a record operation log operation is performed on the target.

When the display unit is started up, if an illegal address or symbol is set to the Data Word Address, it will go to the forced transfer screen. Execute a forced transfer of the project.

Trigger

When the Trigger Bit Address turns ON, data will be acquired again.

When the display unit is started up, if an illegal address or symbol is set to the Data Word Address, it will go to a forced transfer screen. Execute a forced transfer of the project.

Trigger Bit Address

In [Update Data Value], when [Trigger] is selected, set the bit address that will trigger reading data.

Data Value

Sets the type of Data Value to acquire from [Numeric Value] and [Text].

Numeric Value

Data Word Address

Sets the Word Address to store values to be read at recording the operation log.

The end of an address is automatically displayed according to the [Number of Characters] setting.

Data Type

Sets the data format that is stored in [Data Word Address].

The output format for each data type is as follows.
