PLC Data Trace
The PLC data trace function can be used without a
computer.
The PLC Data Trace function is built into the HMI in
addition to the Ladder Monitor and Device Monitor.
A bit’s status and operation can be viewed in a time
chart just by setting the desired PLC bit’s address in
the HMI. It is also now possible to display word data,
save data in CSV files, and save time chart screens in
BMP files.
Operating log
What was touched, when and by whom?
Functionality has been improved with the addition of a log to record operators’ use of the panels. It is now possible to record and
display the time, date, and operation details for buttons (i.e., hardware switches) pressed on the control panel in addition to
operations on the touch panel. The operation log can be saved in a CSV file on a memory card mounted in the NS-series HMI.
Note 1: There are dierences between this Data Trace function and the CX-Programmer’s Data Trace function.
Refer to the NS-series Programmable Terminal Programming Manual (Cat. No. V073) for details.
Note 2: The PLC data trace function cannot be used with the 5.7-inch model.
Note 3: The PLC data trace function is not supported for connection with a CP1E PLC.
Switch directly from the user screen to the log operation
display screen.
For example, with a control panel comprised of the NS-series HMI,
hardware switches, and an emergency stop button, you can even
record and display operation of the emergency stop button.
The files can be opened in Excel.
Multiple operation log
files can be saved on a
memory card with date
and time data.
Memory Card
A comment of up to characters can be set and displayed for each
operation to provide easy-to-understand information about what type of
operation was performed.
