Data Logging Function The data logging function logs device values in a CPU module at a specified sampling interval. Logged data is saved as a data logging file to an SD memory card inserted in a high speed data logger module. Device value memory card...
Page 26: Target Data
Target data Target data indicates the data used for logging that saves the content of device memory in a CPU module to an SD memory card along with time stamps and for trigger condition judgment. Target data for data logging The following data can be logged by data logging.
Page 27: Sampling Function
Sampling function This function samples target data from the access target CPU module. The data sampling methods are as follows. The sampling interval that can be specified differs depending on the data sampling method. Data sampling method Overview Reference High speed Each scan Data is sampled in each sequence scan of a CPU module.
Page 28 High speed sampling This function samples target data by synchronizing with the sequence scan from a control CPU by using the sequence scan synchronization sampling function of a control CPU. It also transfers device values to a high speed data logger module at the END processing of each scan in a control CPU, then stores them in the temporary area in the module.

Page 36 Data changes occurred between the data sampling processes are not sampled because the high speed data logger module samples the data only at the specified sampling interval from CPU module. Therefore, even if the multiple count conditions are satisfied between the data sampling processes, the satisfaction of a count condition is judged only at the time of data sampling.
Page 37 Logging device values before and after the rise of a trigger condition The device values before and after the rise of a trigger condition for the number of specified logging lines are logged. Only device values can be output. The number of times the counting condition has held true and the time when the counting condition has held true cannot be output.

Page 418: Appendix 13Data Sampling Method For Cpu Modules That Cannot Be Accessed Directly
Appendix 13 Data Sampling Method for CPU Modules that cannot be Accessed Directly This section explains the method for collecting data from CPU modules that cannot be accessed directly (hereafter, explained with the motion CPU). Performing refresh by using CPU buffer in a multiple CPU system By performing refresh between an RCPU and motion CPU in a multiple CPU system, device data in the motion CPU can be read to the RCPU.
Page 419 ■Refresh settings for a motion CPU (CPU No.2) Set a device to be stored in the CPU buffer memory and the number of send points in "Refresh (END) Setting" of the motion CPU. ■Settings for a high speed data logger module Set devices of an RCPU (CPU No.1) which are set in the refresh setting as data logging target devices.
Page 420: Appendix 14Sampling Processes Of High Speed Data Logger Module
Appendix 14 Sampling Processes of High Speed Data Logger Module Data changes between data sampling processes Data changes occurred between the data sampling processes are not sampled because a high speed data logger module only samples data from a CPU module at the specified data sampling intervals. Adjust the data sampling interval according to data to be sampled.
Page 421 Use the following method to detect the data condition when the detection is difficult with the method described on the previous page. • Prepare the device to record the number of condition establishments in a sequence program. • Set a "value change" as a condition for the device on a high speed data logger module. Since the device value changes when the condition is established, the "value change"...
