Hello,

Please help me with one thing:

I have a project for a CIP system.

Original project was without recipes. Now we have to add recipes for all washing lines.

Log should be like: Time, Date, Recipe 1 name, Recipe 2 name, Var1, Var2, Var3. Logging should be done at program start - linked to start button.

We have TP1200 Comfort panel, TIA V13, CPU 315.

We tried logging event on start button, and logging possibility in TIA but no success, as it does not allows logging anything except INT.

Could you help me with how to log a event with string names on receipts?

Regards, George.

Hello Boanda,

the data logging doesn't support strings.

One option to log mixed data, which includes strings, would be to write the data (and the timestamp) into a file each time you change the recipe:

• "How do you write data to a file or read data from a file by means of a script on a panel with SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal)?"
