1.1For Using Logging/Trace Function

1.1For Using Logging/Trace Function

1.1.1Applicable model

The logging/trace function is available for the models of Ethernet type (SD card). However, this function and the sampling trace function cannot be used concurrently.

■ Applicable models (●: Available, Blank: Not available)

	Sampling trace function	●	●

1.1.2 Precautions on Using This Function

As an SD memory card is used for the logging function, there are risks of loss of data or data damage depending on usage conditions. Consider possible risks, design a system and make an evaluation of the system before using the function.

■ Precautions when powering off the PLC

If the PLC is powered off during logging or accessing an SD memory card, the following problems may occur.

●Data accumulated in the buffer memory are lost.

●Files may be damaged.

●The SD memory card may be damaged.

Take necessary measures such as the use of an uninterruptible power system (UPS) as necessary.

■ Logging speed and writing speed into an SD memory card

When the speed accumulating data is faster than the writing speed into an SD memory card, data cannot be saved. Make an evaluation thoroughly before use.

1.1.3 Selection of SD Memory Cards

For the Control Units with the Ethernet function (AFP0HC32ET/AFP0HC32EP), SD memory cards can be used for copying projects and logging/trace applications. Note the following points when selecting and using SD memory cards

■ Usable SD memory cards

Please use Panasonic SD memory cards for industrial use. https://panasonic.net/cns/sdcard/industrial_sd/index.html

(Note): An operation check has not been conducted for SD memory cards made by other manufacturers.

		1.1 For Using Logging/Trace Function
	Control Unit	Usable SD memory cards
	printed logo	Card type	Capacity
		SD memory card	2GB
		SDHC memory card	4GB to 32GB

■ Cautions on handling an SD memory card

The data saved in the SD memory card may be lost in the following cases. We assume no responsibility whatsoever for the loss of saved data.

●The user or a third party has misused the SD memory card.

●When the SD memory card was affected by any static electricity or electrical noise.

●The SD memory card was taken out, or the PLC body was powered off, while the card was being accessed.

■ Formatting an SD memory card

In principle, SD memory cards have been formatted by the time of purchase, and no formatting by the user is required. If formatting becomes necessary, download formatting software for SD memory cards on the following website.

"Our website (Japanese only)" https://panasonic.jp/support/sd_w/download/index.html "SD Association’s website"

https://www.sdcard.org/

●A file system formatted by PC's standard formatting software does not satisfy the SD memory card specifications. Please use the dedicated formatting software.

●It is recommended to save important data in another media for backup.

● Never remove the card or power off the PLC while accessing the card. Data may be damaged.

●Do not use an SD memory card the memory capacity of which is more than the usable capacity. Data in the card may be damaged.

1.2.1Overview of Logging Function

■ Overview

●The logging function is used to record arbitrary contacts and data information together with time stamp information at any time, and save them in an SD memory card inserted in the control unit.

●Log data is saved as CSV format files.

●Use the Logging/Trace Settings menu of tool software to set the conditions.

●The settings are downloaded to the PLC as a part of project data, and stored in the nonvolatile memory.

●The logging operation is executed by any of those operations; (1) tool software, (2) dedicated instructions or (3) Autostart by the setting.

●To perform data logging at high speed, the buffer memory in the control unit is used.

1.2 Overview of Functions

(Note 3) Data stored in the buffer memory will be cleared when the power turns off.

■ Image of logging function

When the set conditions (bit device ON, cycle, time, and instruction) are met, the values of operation devices will be saved in the logging buffer memory (RAM). The logging operation continues until the file determination condition is met. Writing data to an SD memory card from the logging buffer memory is automatically performed by PLC. It is not possible to perform this operation by users.

1.2.2 Overview of Trace Function

■ Overview

●The trace function is used to record arbitrary contacts and data information together with time stamp information in the buffer memory in the control unit at any time.

●Logging data can be uploaded from the buffer memory to the tool software after the trace operation, and can be displayed as a time chart. Traced data can be saved in SD memory cards as CSV format files.

●When the trace stop condition is set to bit device, the operation can be stopped after logging data of the specified number of samplings after the stop condition has been met.

●Use the Logging/Trace Settings menu of tool software to set the conditions.

●The settings are downloaded to the PLC as part of project data, and stored in the nonvolatile memory.

●The trace operation is executed by any of those operations; (1) tool software, (2) dedicated instructions or (3) Autostart by the setting.

Setting method

●Define the buffer memory of the control unit used for the logging/trace function.

●The buffer memory is set with the tool software FPWIN GR7.

1.Select "Tool">"Logging/Trace Settings" in the menu bar. The “Logging/Trace Settings” dialog box appears.

2.Select "No. of divisions of buffer memory" from the range of 1 to 4.

3.Double-click on the field of Capacity, and input a desired capacity. Capacity is allocated to each buffer memory.

Setting range

Item	Default	Setting range
