Data Logging Overview
The EZ3-TouchPLC Modular offers a flexible Data Acquisition capability. You can acquire and save the data for one or
more tags defined in the panel. The acquired data along with a time stamp is saved in CSV file format in the USB stick
or the MicroSD card, depending on how the schedule is set.
Schedules determine the way data will be collected. For example, data can be collected every 10 seconds, or simply
at a specific time such as 9 AM, or when a certain event takes place. The user can define one or more schedules as
long as each schedule is unique. (For example, there cannot be two schedules that each collect data every 30 seconds.)
User can also associate a name (up to 8 characters) with each schedule. Each schedule can be used to collect data for
up to 32 tags.
