Pack Event Logs
Compacts the local Event Log list by deleting event logs that are older than the specified period. Not
supported by CP-21.
Log Retention Period: These fields indicate time in hours before now. They specify the period for which
logs of each priority will be retained. All event logs older than the specified period will be deleted.
Warnings:
• The Pack Event Logs block will cause event logs to be re-ordered in the event log buffer. Therefore any
pointers to the event log buffer which are not current will be invalid and using these pointers for
transferring logs will result in inconsistent behaviour (logs may be uploaded twice or out of order).
• It is possible to generate many thousands of event logs in an RTU. Once the event log list becomes
large, any blocks which require searching through this list will become slow, and will therefore cause
delays in scanning I/O points and processing ladder logic.
