V430 Data Record

[Miguel Noya]

I'm using a PLC V430J with two adittional modules (IO-ATC8 and IO-AI8). I need to record the history of five signal (two thermocouple, and three 4-20mA sensors). Could you explain me how to do it? How could I transfer the data to a PC?

Thanks

Hi Miguel, there are a few ways to do this, but you need to first answer this question..........  What is the required time interval of the logging?

cheers, Aus

The best way I have used involves setting up a DT (Data Table) to hold your records,
then an interval timer that is used to increment a counter which sets the row you are writing to in the DT, as well as implements the save command.

The DT can then be retrieved to your PC using the DataXport utility and can be saved as a CVS or Excel file.

Look at Help/Examples/Version900/Project Examples/Data Table/V570_data_log.vlp
