16.2.5 Setting Traces
A trace logs the internal sequences of the component. It allows you to check the
functions, for example of a user program. Depending on the configuration, the
actions of a software module are logged in a file.
The following traces are available:
S
Traces of the OPC Servers for Data Access and Alarms&Events
S Trace of the protocol adapters of the OPC Servers
S Trace of the protocol libraries
Notice
In normal operation, the trace should be deactivated since the creation of trace
files significantly reduces the speed at which programs are executed. You should
also bear in mind that the reduction in speed caused by the trace may result in
other problems such as timeouts.
The SIMATIC NET Information Service signals the activation of a trace so that the
user is immediately aware of the reduced performance.
If you want to set the traces for the OPC Server or the protocol adapters.....
