Data Missing

When some of the data to be sampled is not obtained and data are not successively collected, this state is called
missing.
(1) Cases of data missing
Data missing occurs in the following cases.
Item
Processing overflow
CPU module operation
Operation by the special relay
Operation by the configuration
tool
(2) Missing due to processing overflow
If data sampling is performed at short intervals and processing is not completed within the interval, data writing
from devices to the buffer is not possible, resulting in missing of sampled data. The following two factors cause
processing to overflow.
CPU module
Device
area
(a) Missing caused by short
sampling interval or too
many data to be sampled
(a) "The data sampling interval is too short." or "Too many data are to be sampled."
If the speed of saving data in the buffer exceeds the speed of saving data to the SD memory card, the buffer
will be full of sampled but non-overwritten data (that are not yet saved to the SD memory card). Because data
cannot be written from the device area to the buffer, data missing will occur.
(b) File switching occurs frequently.
During file switching, data are not saved from the buffer to the SD memory card. If file switching occurs
frequently, the buffer will be full of sampled but non-overwritten data (that are not yet saved to the SD memory
card). Because data cannot be written from the device area to the buffer, data missing will occur.
Processing overflow occurs at the specified sampling interval or timing.
When "Auto Start" is set in the Operation at transition to RUN setting, the CPU module is set to RUN,
STOP, and RUN again.
When "Auto Start" is set in the Operation at transition to RUN setting, the CPU module is powered on, off,
and then on.
When "Auto Start" is set in the Operation at transition to RUN setting, the CPU module is reset.
The special relay (Data logging start) is turned on, off, and then on.
After sampling pauses by the operation from the configuration tool, a start operation is performed.
