Introduction� Complex, error prone scripts are things of the past with Vijeo Designer

V4.5.� Why? With improved Data logging & management features in Vijeo

Designer V4.5.

� S h t d


� So, how to do:• Create a Data logging group for real time and historical trends• Manage and store Data logged files• Use Recipe features• Use the Data Manager• Use the command line• Retrieve files by FTP• Print logged data

General Overview

The key elements in VJD 4.5 data logging are :

� Improved runtime performance

� Higher degree of configurability


Higher degree of configurability

– Which data?– Sampling method– Storage files (location, size, number)– Retrieve and print data

Create Data Logging Group� Create a new Data Logging Group from the Navigator and configure the

settings in the Property Inspector.


Configure Data Logging Group� Use the 3 tabs to configure the logging group’s properties


Sampling – 1 (Periodic)� Create a Data Logging group when you want to record or display variable values

on a graph.

Logging Group Name


Periodic or Trigger

HoursMinutesSeconds

UnitsHours: 1 to 24

Minutes: 1 to 30Seconds: 1 to 30

Sampling - 2 (Triggered)� Add a Data Logging trigger (tag) property to Data Logging Groups to

enable manual data capture capabilities.Select Trigger Condition for the

Variable: When True, WhenFalse, On Data Change


Select Trigger Variable

Select Status Variable(discrete or integer). Whendata collection is triggered,the status variable is set toone. When the triggervariable is cleared, the statusvariable is set to 0.

Variable Storage – 1 (Location & Size)

� Define Location & Size

DRAM (not saved on power loss)SRAM (saved on power loss)SRAM & File (DYYMMDDX.datonly on device with secondarystorage device, ex. CF card)


Only for file storage:No. Of Days or Maximum DataSize and No. of files to keep in thefolder

Size or No. of days Estimate

Sampling units(same as sampling index)

Variable Storage - 2 (Location & Size)� File limit:

– Specify whether you want to limit the size of the Data Logging files byDays or File Size.

– Days (from 1 to 1825)– Size (from 250 kb to 8192 kb)

N f fil t k


� No. of files to keep– From 1 to 999

� Group RAM Usage– Read only, displays RAM usage of the variables in a data logging group.

� Number of days– Read only, displays the estimated number of days to reach the specified

data file size.

Advanced (Interlocking)� This variable validates data collected in periodic or triggered mode.

Enables data input when the


pcondition defined in the EnableInterlock Field is met.During data input, if the interlockvariable turns off, data input iscancelled.When the interlock condition isFALSE, data collection for thegroup is PAUSED until thecondition returns to TRUE.

Logging Properties of a tag

� Configure all data logging properties of a tag through its associated DataLogging Group.

To increase Softwareproductivity define


productivity, definea logging groupproperties, createand configurea variable, and thenassign it to the datalogging group.

Recipe Components and their Relationships� Example of recipe management, from setting up ingredients and recipes

in a recipe Group to sending recipe data to the equipment.

Control Variables forrecipe management

Steps to Set Up a Recipe Group

In the Navigator window,right-click the recipes nodeand create a new recipegroup.

Enter the Recipe group

p g pdata in the recipe editor,and add ingredients.

If needed, create variablesfor the ingredients.

Draw the recipe panel.

If the recipe group is to beoperator controlled, set upthe recipe manager part.

Manage Run-time Data� Transfer files

� Data Manager (only on Ethernet)� Command Line (only on Ethernet)� Maintenance Mode (by extracting CF Card)� FTP Server


� Locate files� Run-time Data Location Manager

� Files supported:� Recipe files (*.rcp)� Data Logging files (*.dat)� Video files (*.mpg)� Screen shot files (*.jpg)� Project backup files (*.vdz)

Data Manager – 1 (Ethernet)� The Data Manager is the best way to manage data from/to HMI

Terminal. You can install it on any PC from the Vijeo Designer CD (nosoftware rights required).


Data Manager - 2 (Ethernet)� Data Manager provides high efficiency functions to manage all files in

HMI terminal.� Create new target with user and password


Data Manager - 3 (Ethernet)� Define files and operations


Data Manager - 4 (Ethernet)� A Recipe Project Identifier is required to transfer recipes.


Transfer files by Command Line - 1 (Ethernet)� This tool is good for Automated (Scheduled) retrieval of runtime data files.

� Use or Copy the file(on another PC without Vijeo Designer software):


� Read the Parameter Options in Help file or launch “data transfer tool” withoutparameter.

Transfer files by Command Line - 2 (Ethernet)

� Use the command line in Dos Session

� Example:(Get Recipe files from HMI Terminal to folder “Datalog” on hard disk D:)


Transfer Files during Maintenance Mode� Maintenance Mode is used to stop data logging to the CF Card, so you

can remove it from HMI terminal and plug it on your PC toread/write/remove files on it.

� Use of system variable _Maintenance– Maintenance =0


– Maintenance =0(allows read/write on CF Card, you can’t remove it)

– Maintenance =1 (stops data logging on the CF card and allowsyou to remove the CF card once the access led turns off)

Transfer files by FTP Server - 1� Use a Client FTP Software, for example:


Transfer files by FTP Server - 2� Use of FTP function (Internet Explorer, warning ! some difficulties due to

security control)


- Name- Password- HMI Terminal IP Adress- Port: 6001

Locate files� The Data Locations property in the Target properties defines where data

is located on the HMI Terminal.

Print logged data� From HMI Terminal

� Alarm message printing:– Printing alarms when the occur– Batch printing (print an entire alarm group’s alarm messages)

� Screen snapshots printing:– Parameters


– Control variable

� Video Screen snapshots printing:– Parameters– Control variable

� Print Data (script control)

� From your PC, after retrieval� Logvariable.dat -> logvariable.txt (use word or excel)

� Alarmgroup1.csv (use excel)

Alarm Message printing

� Real Timeprinting:

print alarmswhenever the


alarm statechanges:- Active- Acknowledge- Unack- Return to normalstate.

Alarm Message printing

�AlarmMessageBatch printing:

To end …

� Use Data Logging Groups to store dynamic data and organize the DataLogging Files.

� Recipes is the simple way to manage the data list exchange betweenHMI Terminal and PLC’s.


� Use the Data Manager as the best way to manage Recipes, DataLogging Groups, Alarms, Videos and Snapshots files on the HMITerminal.

� Print items isn’t a global function, but each item has print attributes tomanage print function. Many New Features available in Vijeo Designer4.5 support printing.
