6. Download & Log Files

All log files are to be stored in separate memory in the PLC to the application. Log files are to be
in CSV format and be retrievable by FTP (either with SMU of third party FTP Client).

If SMU is used, after log in, press view or download log files.




If an external FTP client is used (recommended, faster than SMU if a large number of files are to
be retrieved), log in to the controller using IP address 192.168.1.100. Port, user & password
blank.
2 types of log files can be downloaded from the controller :

DATA log files: Dyyyy-mm-dd-xx.csv
