Switching To A Storage File - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R-R00CPU User Manual

Switching to a storage file

The data collected by data logging is temporarily stored in a stack file. The stack file can be switched to a storage file to free
the space in the SD memory card.
How file switching works
File switching works as follows:
1.
The CPU module writes collected data into a stack file (such as LOG01.BIN).
2.
It changes the file name when the storage file switching condition is met.
3.
It creates a new stack file.
4.
It continues to write collected data into the newly created stack file.

*1 The file name format can be customized. ( Page 977 Save)
*2 The file number of the most recent storage file is stored in the special register (Latest storage file number).
File switching condition
The following table lists the setting items that can be used to specify the file switching condition.
Setting item
Number of records
*1
File size
*1 File switching occurs before the file grows beyond the specified size.
However, file switching occurs regardless of the setting when:
• the number of records has reached the maximum number;
• the file size has reached the maximum size;
• the CPU module is stopped or suspended/resumed: or
• data logging is started and there is an existing stack file.
Trigger logging does not require the configuration of these settings because the stack file is automatically
switched to a storage file after as much data as the specified number of records is written into the stack file.
SM1218 (logging data storage file switching in progress) can be used to check if storage file switching is in
progress.
