4.8.4 Tracing
MPE720 version 6 has three trace modes.
Realtime Tracing
You can monitor specified registers on a graph in real time.
Data Tracing
You can have the Machine Controller collect data for specified registers during a specified time period, and perform
operations on that data and plot it on a graph.
This allows you to analyze register data that is acquired during specific time periods to debug ladder programs.
XY Tracing
This trace mode acquires the position data of the X axis and Y axis every scan, and displays the data in a 2-dimensional
graph.
All three modes support exporting the trace data to CSV files.
Use tracing to check operation and to debug the ladder programs and motion programs.
Data Tracing Display Example
Refer to the Engineering Tool for MP2000 Series Machine Controller MPE720 Version 6 User’s Manual (SIEP
C880700 30) for detailed setting procedures for tracing.
