To enable this function you must first add a PLC device, as described in chapter: Add a device, to TC that
runs the PLC, i.e. the first TC in a station. Note that the PLC device is only a logical device, it requires no
additional hardware to be connected to the system.
Secondly you must create New reporter and connect it to the PLC device.
Use the reporter to select what result variables to include in the cycle data, see Edit reporter for how to do
that.
Finally you must declare variables within the PLC that corresponds to the layout of the Reporter.
