3.6.3 PServer Log Files
PServer writes the diagnostic messages also to a corresponding log file named Messages.log. The size of the log file is
restricted to about 5000 messages (200 Kbytes). If this limit is reached, the current log file is renamed to
Messagesold.log. The menu Procontrol OPC Server -> Log Files opens the directory containing these files.
