Logging Function - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F FX5 User Manual

Logging function

Logs (records) digital output values or digital operation values. 10000 points of data can be logged for each channel. Logging
data are stored in the buffer memory area. In addition, the data collection can be stopped by using the status change of the
data as a trigger. This function also helps the error analysis since the data before and after the occurrence of an error is held.
