Structure of the Task Trace
The SIMOTION Task Trace includes two main components:
● The SIMOTION Task Tracer, which writes the task change and events to a buffer on the
target device, and
● The SIMOTION Task Profiler, an application for displaying the recorded data

9.7.3 Technology object trace
You can monitor commands at a technology object and track access to the system variables and
configuration data.
In SIMOTION, technology objects can be influenced by configuration data, system variables,
and commands during runtime. In order to represent the influences on a technology object
during runtime through the user program, a TO trace / object trace, which records the last n
actions at the technology object and arranges these in chronological order, is available as of
V4.2.
Note
Simultaneous use of the Trigger through program call trigger condition for the TO trace and
the device trace is not permitted.
If the TO trace and the device trace are active simultaneously, different trigger conditions must
be used.
The recording can be read out from the technology object on request and represented in the
ES.
