Logs

E 1 General Description - Logs

Logs are used for logging information and messages from the process and from the Freelance
2000 system. Logs are output on a printer or screen. A distinction is made between two different
types of log - event logs and state logs.

E 1.1 Event logs

Event logs are used for logging events such as messages, faults, switching activities and
operator interventions (incl. user names, if DigiLock installed). Logging is effected spon-
taneously when an event occurs.
The signal sequence log is used for acquisition of events and is therefore classified with the
event logs. A further distinction is made between signal sequence log 1 and signal sequence
log N. Data of signal sequence log 1 are output continuously on a printer. By contrast, data of the
signal sequence log N are output only on completion of logging or per manual intervention.
Various different types of messages can be logged: process messages and system messages
are generally used to indicate events and faults, while a sequence of event log can be used to log
switching events in the field with a resolution of 2 ms.

E 1.2 State logs

State logs are used for cyclic logging of process states. These include the cyclic acquisition of
the state of a tag or the logging of sequences within the process.
The disturbance course log and operation log are classified as state logs. The disturbance
course log uses a special disturbance course log acquisition module from the process station.
The module acquisitions cyclically the input signals and saves them in a ring buffer of max. 200
values per input signal.
