Product features -CPU-

Easily collect production data

Utilizing the installed SD memory card or a direct live connection to the CPU module, logging data can be easily realized just by simply registering parameters. Logged data can be saved in CSV format and utilized in a number of ways, such as for using on third-party spreadsheet software or as a real-time feed data for analyzing various manufacturing processes. The real-time feature of GX LogViewer also enables live feeds showing device status changes, helping to improve traceability, smooth startup, and debugging.

Logging of control data variances

Data is collected during each scan or within millisecond intervals allowing detection of control deviation even at very high speeds. Therefore, identification of errors can be conducted faster and in more detail.

■ Generic sample data from a PC or external device at 100 ms intervals

■ L Series data logging function is capable of sampling data at much higher intervals as to detect fast changing values.

Auto logging function

Automatic data logging realized just by inserting the SD memory card into the CPU, which is achieved as the memory card includes the logging configuration file. Instructing data logging remotely is also realized just by sending the configuration file by e-mail and copying onto the SD memory card.

Automatically send logging files to FTP server

Data logging files saved on the SD memory card can be sent to the FTP server just by making a simple setting with the logging configuration tool. As the logging server can handle multiple files, management and maintenance tasks can be reduced.

■ File transfer feature*2

  • *2.Using a CPU module with the first 5 digits of the serial number “12112” or later.

Trigger logging function

Error causes and solutions can be quickly done as only the required data related to the problem is extracted, without having to spend time on filtering large volumes of diagnostic data.
