3.8. Datalog Functions
Datalog files periodically record controller data to a disk file for future analysis. Protocol
Manager can maintain two different types of datalog files from networked controllers: Profile
Datalogs and Log Datalogs:
Profile Datalogs: Use Profile Datalogs for jobs based on a specific process run. Profile
Datalogs are initiated automatically when a controller is remotely started running. Profile
Datalogs are closed automatically when the controller stops running.
Log Datalogs: Use Log Datalogs for jobs not related strictly to an entire, single process run.
Log Datalogs are initiated (and subsequently closed manually) using the Controller Run Time
Window, regardless of the controller's running status.
Both Profile Datalogs and Log
Datalogs contain header
information followed by
periodic data records. Set
header information and record
data for both types of datalogs
using the
Profile Datalog
tab.
Both types of files will be
stored in the Log File Folder
path indicated in the
Profile
Datalog
tab.
