Hi,

unknown user

1. When using the data log function on the KTP700, can I download the logs remotely or do I physically need to go to the panel and download the log? If yes, can it be done without TIA portal? If no, can it be done on a TP700?

 Only comfort panel support downloading Tags remotely using Webserver or else you can also configure some Netwrok folder directly for logging. TP700 is a comfort panel and it can do this function.

2. I'm not sure I get the licensing for smartserver. If I understand correctly the smartserver is included on comfort panels and require no additional software/cost to be able to be connected with VNC client since TIA V14?  How about the Basic line? On siemens site it says "Basic Panels and Comfort Panels/Mobile Panels with a runtime module prior to V14 do need the corresponding license." Does that mean that basic panels with V14 and after are included smartserver?

 Basic Panel in all versions need license for smart server access. Comfort panels like yo said has built in smart server from V14.

3. My customer wan't to log values from their machine but they wan't each value in seperate columns on each row with timestamp, is the only way to go with VBscript?

 Yes only scripting can do this function,. The default logs can't be altered for different formatting.

4. If I need to use VBscript for archiving, do I need the comfort panel or is basic enough?

 Again only comfort panel supports scripting.

Thanks,

Jay
