Logging to Compact Flash on Panelview Plus 600?

[CJH 0]

Due to various design constraints, it looks like I'm forced to use a PV+ 600 to communicate with a MicroLogix 1100 over ETHERNET (serial port being used for something else) 1) Firstly, I assume this should work? Secondly, in typical AB fashion, there are iffy mentions of Compact Flash cards and data logging on the website, but it's very hard to find any details... 2) How does one go about logging data - presumably it's configured in RSView ME? 3) What format are they recorded in (CSV?) 4) What capacity CF cards do they support? First one to answer all four questions correctly get's a big thank you!

i use 512mb CF cards in my PV+ 600s. seem to work just fine. don't know about loggin data to them though. I think you can only log to internal memory. Then use the utilities in the previous post to extract from the PV. (yuck)
