TIP: Sample program for Data Log with S7-1500

becue nicolas

is it possible to make the log file so that it doesn't put a "," but a ";" because in excel it automatically makes a column if the variables are separated bij a ";" ?

 Hi,

maybe is easier for you changing the regional settings of your PC:
Region and Language --> Formats --> Additional settings--> List separator
and there set "," instead of ";"

I hope it helps, regards.

Hi,

I attached here a very simple sample program for Data Logging with S7-1500.

As didactical propose, I just call the related blocks and mount a Watch Table to manual command. The block FB1 is used just to evaluate diagnose, it has no influence on the data log functions.

I suggest the follow sequence of commands in the Watch Table:

– Create a File: “Create”=1, and after “Create”=0
– Give values for the logged variables, for example:
“My_Datalog_vars”.MyCurrent = 10;
“My_Datalog_vars”.MyTemperature = 20.0;
“My_Datalog_vars”.MyPressure = 30.0
– Write the open values to the File: “Write”=1, and after “Write”=0
– repeat these last two step as desired
– Open the Internet Browser and give the Ethernet address of the PLC as Address (10.1.15.1; user admin, pass admin).
– Browse in Data Logs, in Filebrowser, DataLogs, open it if you wish.The command clear, clears the contends of the Data log; the command delete, deletes it, new file create a new file

TIPs:
1 – You can found a complete example about Data Log with S7-1500 in the SIMATIC S7-1500 /ET 200MP Library (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/86140384), manual “Memory usage and application examples”, chapter “3.2.4 Example program for data logging”

2 – Create or create new file open the file automatically (i.e. it is not necessary to open the file after created).

 Sir,

i used your sample program.it works perfectly,but when i enter values on same file again it overwrites the first one.can we do anything for this.

hi,

Can you please convert the program to tia v15 ?

Thanks in advance
