19.3 Procedure for Using
Devices and software to be used
The devices and software to be used for the data logging function are shown below.
*1 Use the CPU module with the latest firmware version. ( Page 92 FIRMWARE UPDATE FUNCTION)
*2 Use the latest version of software.
Usage flow
The following shows the flow of using the data logging function. The detailed procedure is explained based on setting
examples.
1. Set parameters using GX Works3. ( Page 156 Setting parameters)
2. Set data logging using the CPU Module Logging Configuration Tool. ( Page 157 Setting data logging)
3. Write the data logging settings to the CPU module. ( Page 160 Writing the data logging setting)
4. Start data logging execution. ( Page 161 Executing data logging)
5. Stop data logging execution. ( Page 162 Stopping data logging)
6. Save a data logging file in any location on the personal computer. ( Page 163 Saving data logging files)
7. Check the data logging file. For checking, the following three methods are available.
