NB Data log

1 post in this topic

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.
