Measured value log files

Introduction
Measured values are generated when the CPU executes the user program. These values
are to be logged and analyzed.
Processing sequence
Acquisition of measured values:
• The CPU writes all measured values to a DB (for alternating backup mode in several
Measured value logging:
• Before the data volume can exceed work memory capacity, you should call
• You can call SFC 82 "CREA_DBL" in the user program to generate new (additional) static

and Standard Functions
Note
SFC 82 is terminated and an error message is generated if a DB already exists under the
same number in load memory and/or RAM.
The data written to load memory are portable and retentive on CPU memory reset.
Evaluation of measured values:
• Measured value DBs saved to load memory can be uploaded and evaluated by other

SFC 84 "WRIT_DBL" in the user program to swap measured values from the DB to load
memory. The figure below shows how to handle measured value log files:
