Remaining memory for the
PLC trace configuration
Displays the remaining memory in the DB
for addressing variables in the PLC.
DISPLAY
Remaining memory for the
PLC trace data
Shows the remaining memory in the DB of
the PLC for recording the variables
status. The memory requirement is
directly related to the number of cycles to
be recorded.
Note:
If the remaining memory is insufficient for
the current definition of a trace, you can
save the control monitor inactively in the
system. To make it possible to activate it,
you must free up memory by deactivating
one or more of the control monitors.
DISPLAY
Icons Shows the PLC variables with absolute
addresses (not symbolic addresses),
which are to be recorded in the trace, or
for which additional programming can be
carried out.
Note:
