8.1.3

Outputting log file

The log file output is password-encrypted.
There are two possible ways to output the log file:
1. In the "Diagnostics" operating area, select "Service Displays" → "Action Log" →
"Save As..." → "CF Card"/"USB Stick" (logical drive that has been set up).
2. Via the boot menu.
A ramp-up menu is displayed whenever a crash event occurs (PLC bit DB19,
byte0, bit6). The bit is set and reset from the PLC at the user interface (as with
key lock, screen darkening, etc.).
HMI Embedded evaluates the rising edge of the signal (i.e., a transition from 0
to 1) and creates the log file when the signal comes. HMI Embedded only reads
the data, i.e., the signal must be reset by the PLC/user program.
