6-8-12 PLC Data Trace (NS12, NS10, and NS8 Only)

The PLC Data Trace function uses the data trace function within a CS/CJ-series PLC (CPU
Unit) and displays the results of the PLC's data trace at the PT.
After receiving the data trace execution command from the NS-series PT, the PLC estab-
lishes the specified trigger condition, reads the specified bit's status according to the sam-
pling conditions, and stores the sampled data in the CPU Unit's Trace Memory.
The PT reads the data stored in the PLC and displays that data on the screen as a time chart.
The PLC Data Trace function can be used in the NS12, NS10, and NS8 PTs only.
