Performance While Data Is Being Saved
If the internal memory or external storage medium is continuously accessed, the following
phenomena may occur. When such phenomena occur, the storage medium access indicator
frequently illuminates.
• Files being saved to the external storage medium drop out.
• Accessing the GX/GP through communication takes a long time.
If these conditions occur, take the following measures.
• If you are creating data files at short intervals consecutively using the event action
function, increase the data file save interval.
• If you are creating numerous files in a single directory on the external storage medium,
change the destination directory name at approximately every 1000 files.
• If data recording and display are using up resources (for example if you are recording
on multiple channels at a fast rate and displaying trend displays on all the multi panels),
reduce the recording interval, or change the display.
