1.1 For Using Logging/Trace Function
1.1 For Using Logging/Trace Function
1.1.1 Applicable 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.

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.

■
Cautions on handling an SD memory card
Usable SD memory cards
Card type Capacity
SD memory card 2GB
SDHC memory card 4GB to 32GB
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.

1.2.1 Overview 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.

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.
