PRECAUTIONS FOR USE This section explains the precautions in the order listed below.  Network connection precautions  Performance/specification precautions  Data logging, event logging, and report functions precautions  Other function precautions  Precautions when accessing the high speed data logger module ...
Page 14 Data logging, event logging, and report functions precautions (1) Data logging, event logging, and report functions (a) The data logging, event logging, and report functions of the high speed data logger module are the best effort functions. Since module processing time changes according to the settings and status of other devices, it may not operate with the set data sampling interval.
Page 15 (2) Data logging function (a) Immediately after switching the programmable controller system ON, if a trigger occurs before sampling the number of lines of data before the trigger, the data before the trigger may be a few lines less than the specified amount. (b) When triggers continuously occur with the trigger logging function, triggers may be discarded or the number of lines of data specified before the trigger may not be output.
Page 16 Other function precautions (1) Access target CPU setting ( Section 11.4.3) (a) When rewriting the Configuration Tool settings, power OFF to ON, or resetting the CPU module, the high speed logger module prepares to communicate with the access target CPU. Therefore, if a large number of access target CPUs are set, several minutes are required for this preparation.
Page 17 Precautions when accessing the high speed data logger module (1) Web browser operations, settings In the local area network (LAN) setting of the Web browser, do not set a proxy server for the local address. ( Section 5.3.1) (2) FTP server function (a) Because of FTP client side application restrictions, if the user name or password is input incorrectly, end the FTP operation and redo the FTP connection from the beginning.
Page 18 Security precautions Although the high speed data logger module supports basic authentication (account setting) using user names and passwords, it does not completely protect the system from illegal access. Avoid accounts (user name, password) consisting of simple alphanumeric characters only, and include some non-alphanumeric characters ($, &, ?) to create a complicated user name and password.
Page 19 (4) When ejecting or replacing the CompactFlash card (a) Be sure to stop file access before ejecting or replacing the CompactFlash card.  Section 16.5 Operations for Ejecting and Reinserting CompactFlash Card (b) Not following the procedure shown in Section 16.5 may cause a loss of logging data during processing, corruption of data on the CompactFlash card while accessing, or a file system error.
Page 20 (7) CompactFlash card format (a) To format a CompactFlash card, use the high speed data logger module format function.  Section 13.1.6 CompactFlash card diagnostics ® (b) Do not format a CompactFlash card using the Windows format function. (c) Do not reset the control CPU or turn the power OFF when formatting a CompactFlash card.
Page 21 Recipe function precautions (1) Recipe files ® (a) When a recipe file to which 253 or more records are set is opened in Microsoft ® ® Excel 2003, the entire file cannot be displayed. Edit the data using Microsoft ® Excel 2007 or later, text editor or recipe editor.

Page 39: Overview
OVERVIEW CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW This manual explains the specifications procedures up to operation, functions, and troubleshooting of the high speed data logger module. When applying the example programs introduced in this manual to an actual system, make sure to examine the applicability and confirm that it will not cause system control problems.
Page 40 OVERVIEW (2) Control data changes can be logged without misses ( Section 7.3.1) The high speed data logger module can perform data logging per scan/in millisecond intervals. Since the module is logging changes in the specified control data without misses, it demonstrates its effectiveness in determining the cause of problems when they occur.
Page 41 OVERVIEW (3) Accelerate problem analysis when problems occur (trigger logging function) ( Section 7.3.2) With data status/change triggers, the high speed data logger module can save the data before and after the trigger. Since only the data before and after trouble occurs can be saved, you can quickly identify the data which is the cause of the problem and save file space.
Page 42 OVERVIEW (5) Equipment error detection and failure prediction are possible (event logging function) ( Chapter 8) By setting monitoring target data and monitoring conditions, the high speed data logger module can log changes (events) for those conditions. This can be utilized for equipment error detection and failure prediction.
Page 43 OVERVIEW (6) Accessible over the network hierarchy The high speed data logger module can access programmable controller CPUs hierarchically connected with networks such as CC-Link IE, MELSECNET/H, CC- Link, and Ethernet, and perform data logging. A single high speed data logger module can access up to a maximum of 64 programmable controller CPUs.
Page 44 OVERVIEW For Ethernet connections, since the high speed data logger module can access other station's programmable controller CPUs using its Ethernet port, it s not necessary to add a network module to the module mounting station. If the access target station is also a built-in Ethernet port CPU or C Controller module, it's not necessary to add a network unit to the access target station.
Page 45 OVERVIEW (7) Logging is possible with simple configuration Logging settings can be easily configured with wizard format settings. Since the Configuration Tool is built-in to the high speed data logger module, settings can be easily changed on-site by simply connecting a personal computer. ...
Page 46 OVERVIEW (8) Created data can be utilized as programming assets (a) Utilize project data of programming tool ( Section 11.2.10) Global labels and device comments created in the programming tool can be imported to the Configuration Tool. Imported global labels are synchronized with the changes of global labels in the import source, and they can be updated easily.
Page 47 OVERVIEW (9) Large-volume logging files can be saved Since the high speed data logger module can use high-capacity CompactFlash cards up to a maximum of 8 GB, logging over long periods is possible. Since the logging files saved on the CompactFlash card can also be transferred to a server, logging which exceeds the capacity of the CompactFlash card is possible.
Page 48 OVERVIEW (11)Time synchronization using SNTP ( Section 10.1) The time between a high speed data logger module and a programmable controller CPU can be set through communication with an SNTP server computer. This enables synchronizing the time for the entire system. (12) Displaying data and events matched to application Using GX LogViewer, sampled data can be displayed as graphs and occurred/ restored events can be displayed in a list.
Page 49 OVERVIEW (13)Data can be managed on a batch (lot) basis By designating the programmable controller data which indicate the end of batches (lots) as the file switching timing, files can be created in units of batches (lots). In addition, attaching the batch (lot) number to the file name of the logging and report makes the batch-based (lot-based) data management easier.
Page 50 OVERVIEW (14) Manufacturing data (device values) stored in programmable controller CPU can be changed (Recipe function:  Chapter 15) Device values can be transferred (read) from the recipe files (created in the Configuration Tool and stored) stored in the CompactFlash card to the programmable controller CPU at the specified time.
Page 51: Processing Overview
OVERVIEW 1.2 Processing Overview The high speed data logger module logs (records/saves) device data sampled from a programmable controller CPU as files on a CompactFlash card. Files which can be created are data logging files, event logging files, and report files. In the data logging file, all the sampled data in the specified period can be saved.
