hi

I need to log about 20 tags of the process when it runs to 1 data log.

There is helpful video

(4812) WinCC Unified: export multiple logged tags as a daily .CSV report - YouTube

showing how this can be done but i wonder is there is even easier way to achieve that. Does V18 have any support for data set operations so whole data set can be recorded at once rather than using 2 for loops as shown in the screenshot below?

Regards

• Configure the log format directly in MS Excel. (Both online with PLC and offline via config file)
• All HMI tags available including UDTs and their nested tags
• Can access both normal Tags and Logging Tags for time series data.
• Tag, cyclical or context triggers for report generation
• Time range can be set by Tag or relative
• Multiple log folder targets for save file destination
• Reports can be accessed remotely via the HMI webpage and downloaded locally.
• Can Email logs
• The obvious restriction is that the log file format is always either Excel of PDF so you would need to convert to CSV if you needed that format specifically.

 very interesting idea - i will try to explore if time permits

Another option worth exploring is using the built-in reporting functionality. It's quite easy to setup once you put the Reports control into a HMI screen. The benefits and functionality are:

• Configure the log format directly in MS Excel. (Both online with PLC and offline via config file)
• All HMI tags available including UDTs and their nested tags
• Can access both normal Tags and Logging Tags for time series data.
• Tag, cyclical or context triggers for report generation
• Time range can be set by Tag or relative
• Multiple log folder targets for save file destination
• Reports can be accessed remotely via the HMI webpage and downloaded locally.
• Can Email logs
• The obvious restriction is that the log file format is always either Excel of PDF so you would need to convert to CSV if you needed that format specifically.
