human readable retained tags file

[Gabriel Franco]

Hello all.

Is there any way to obtain readable tag values from the file saved when used the option "Upload PLC retained memory to PC"? Something similar to txt file saved with Visilogic.

I want to write a document related to a process controlled by a Unistream (after project comisisoning) and do not have final configuration parameters written down.

Maybe not what you need, but I think the most user-friendly way of storing configuration parameters is in a retained Data Table.

If you don't have enough free retained space, you can create a non-retained database, and a function which populates it with data from retained tags. Once the data table is populated, you can export it to your computer. Have a reverse function for restoring data. You can even save the data table to PLC's SD card. Though this method becomes messy if there's a lot of tags.
