Hello everyone,

I have made a tool that converts a .rdb logfile into a .csv file.

When you are logging in TIA or wincc flexible, you can choose to log you data into a .rdb file.

When you need that data to use it in excel, you must use copy instructions inside your runtime project, this is not always so easy.

You can download the tool here: [LINK REMOVED ON 15/03/2025]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE ON 15/03/2025

I will close down my website, a similar tool exists on github:

https://github.com/yuriqdev/WinCCflexLogViewer

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is for demo purposes or educational use only.

When using this software, it is at you own risk. (It's just a hobby project.)

Note that the logging structure can also be modified in future releases by Siemens, so that the dataprocessing isn't correct anymore.

Please feel free to post comments and feedback so I can improve this.

Kind regards,

Tim.

Thank you very much, you saved my life!!

Indeed, you are right!

I made the adjustment, it's now version V1.2.

Just for infomation who is interested, the Dublin Julian Date , the day is 30 and not 31.

Here is more information :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.fromoadate?view=netframework-4.8

Also note that the raw ms value from the rdb log must be devided by 1000000.0 and then you can calculate the date and time.

Many thanks for your feedback!

Kind regards,

Coldrestart.
