  1. NB HMI via FTP

    Hi there! I got a NB with some daily data logs saved in a USB drive. The thing is, I've read about accessing NB via FTP and already tried connecting to the storage folder so I don't need to unplug and plug de USB drive every day. FTP is activated in the HMI but I'm struggling accessing using Windows' FTP function. Connection is okay, I can download the project to the NB from my seat and ping it. So here's my question, have you tried this type of connection? Is another software needed to properly access the HMI? Thanks in advance! 
  2. NB Data log

    Hi there!  I need to implement a data logging that saves the log in a USB storage for a machine and just started searching for some info about data logging in NB HMIs. Up to now I'm clear about using the Data History function and the sampling method I'll be using but I still have some unclarified doubts about this. 1.- The data log should sample the value of, let's say, a couple of words, each second for an entire day (6:00 am to 6:00 am). NB's manual doesn't say a lot about Storage Type and Buffer Storage in "Save Data History" tab. Does "daily file" mean It deletes the .CSV file daily and it generates a new one? If is it, at what time does this occur? Does "single file" mean it generates a file and won't get deleted? Does this mean the sampling stops when completing the first one? Is "storage period" used to keep the file after the next log begins? 2.- Is it necessary to display the element in order to make the log work? Or can it be placed in a random screen you only enter once a day? 3.- In the "Channel Properties" tab. If I need to get the binary value of a word, do I need to set the max. limit to 65535? 4.- I asume that "Sample points" value doesn't matter when selecting Continue sample mode. Am I right? Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

  4. Hi all, I am new to the forum as well as being new to programming PLC's.  I am trying to set up a simple data logging program using a Micro830, taking pulse readings from an energy meter. I have completed the program using tutorials, but i am struggling to set up the data log. The DLG function shows error 8 (real time clock is invalid) so i have tried to set up a real time clock but there are very little tutorials on how to do it. The RTC currently shows status 2 (RTC set operation failed). Please could someone please help me out so my boss doesn't disown me :(  Thanks so much in advance! Andy

  6. Hello all, I created a Viewer for WinCC flexible and TIA Portal csv archive. Here a screenshot: you can download this software here: http://plc2k.com/wincc-flexible-tia-portal-archive-viewer/ About feedback I would be happy Maybe you have some Ideas?
  7. I believe I have found a bug in FactoryTalk View ME version 8.10. I have a trend object that uses parameter file placeholders on the connections tab. These are direct-addressed to the shortcut ie {[PLC]...}. The historical data from the datalog does not show. (The pens write lines, but when I navigate away from the screen and come back, the lines are gone and begin drawing again from the right side.) The current data does show. This tells me that the placeholders are correct syntax. When the screen loads, the placeholders are being replaced by a string which yields a correct tag path, or else the pens would not be writing correct data. When I replace the placeholders manually and directly address the tag, the historical data does show correctly. This tells me that the datalog is set up correctly and is logging data. I have verified that a previous project of mine, using I believe version 6.0, successfully used this method of using one screen and one trend to plot various tags using parameter placeholders, and the historical data did show correctly.
