#DataLog

Top  Previous  Next

The #DataLog object is used to log PLC data/variables in a DataLog file. The data entries are in ASCII text or binary format. The columns are separated by a separator. Each entry takes up one line and is accompanied with a time stamp (see also Exporting alarm history). DataLog is a global object. One or several #DataLog objects can be defined in an EPAM project.

Difference to EPAM3

In EPAM3 the DataLog variables were transferred in a structure. In EPAM4 individual variables are read from the PLC. The PLC project may therefore also have to be adapted in certain circumstances.
