Logs
Note
The HMI devices are suitable for the logging of relatively small volumes of data.
Manage the data in several adjacent archives in a segmented circular log. The use of a large
circular log has a negative effect on performance.

Note
Data consistency
When the HMI device is switched off, consistency of the stored data is ensured only for the
SIMATIC HMI Memory Card ≥ 2 GB.
With commercially available memory cards, switching off the device may result in the loss of
saved data, for example due to a power failure.
The consistency of data stored in archives is only guaranteed if you use RDB format.
