sgull Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hi Folks, Is there any way to trigger a screenshot within the ladder? I think it would be a good feature to to have a screenshot that is triggered in the event of an alarm or other event. In this way we can put a lot of data on a hidden screen that would be captured to help in diagnosis of a fault. Regards, Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dierkens Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Sounds like a good idea; but if you're going to have a screen filled with the data you could create a data table that will have all of your diagnostic info and then write this to a file on a secure digital periodically. A log file of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoamM Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi, There is an "Take Screenshot" action you can use in the "Actions" module. Example: You can use the "Event Trigger" assigned tag within your Ladder in order to initiate a screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgull Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thanks for that. I could not find it before and the help file did not mention it. I use the data table method to save information in VisiLogic, but a screenshot would be easier for a customer to send and debug.
