Set up data logging (Paths tab)
On the Paths tab, specify where the run-time data log files will be saved. You can choose the system default path or specify a custom location.
System default path
The system default path will vary depending on the computer that FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station is running on. Log files are stored in:
- (Windows 7 SP1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 applications and MobileView terminal applications) \Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\ME\Logs\Runtime Application Name\DLGLOG\Data Log Model Name.
- (PanelView Plus 7 and PanelView Plus 6 terminal applications) \Windows\Logs\Runtime Application Name\DLGLOG\Data Log Model Name.
- (PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, or PanelView Plus CE terminal applications) \Storage Card\Rockwell Software\RSViewME\Logs\Runtime Application\Name\DLGLOG\Data Log Model Name.
Custom location - Path where data log file(s) will be stored
Type the path to the folder where run-time data log file(s) will be stored.
- For Windows 7 SP1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2016 applications and MobileView terminal applications, the path must contain a drive letter (such as C:\) or use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) style.
- For PanelView Plus 7 and PanelView Plus 6 applications, you can log to a location on the terminal, a shared folder on a networked computer, or an SD card. For example, \Storage Card2\Data\Logs specifies a location on the PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView Plus 6 terminal.
- For PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, and PanelView Plus CE terminal applications, you can log to a location on the terminal, a shared folder on a networked computer, or Compact Flash card. For example, \Storage Card\Data\Logs specifies a location on the PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, or PanelView Plus CEterminal.
Tip: |
- To log to a shared folder on a networked computer, use UNC style for the path. For example, \\server\logs. logs is a shared folder on a network server.
- A shared folder on a networked computer must be on a shared drive.
- The network must have domain name resolution, such as a DNS server, to resolve the UNC computer name defined in your path.
- If you specify a path to a folder that does not exist, the path will be created at run time, as long as the user logged in to the run-time computer has folder creation rights at the specified location.
- For information on converting logged tag data to other formats, such as Excel, refer to Answer ID 33924 and 21174 in the Rockwell Knowledgebase.
