Exploring Rockwell Logging Options: Enhancing Siemens PVP/CLX Logging Capabilities

Question:

Hello! When working with Siemens, users have access to user-friendly logging features on non-SCADA HMIs. It's easy to log alarms, tags, operator actions, and more. What logging options are available for the PVP/CLX combination? How can you effectively log actions, tags, and alarms? I've discovered a method to write tag values to a file, but it only supports a limited number of tags (around 16), which isn't sufficient for our needs. Do we require any historian software or additional tools to enhance our logging capabilities?

FactoryTalk ME version 10 introduces a robust built-in audit trail specifically designed for streamlined tracking and compliance.

Hey there! It sounds like you're looking for more robust logging solutions beyond the basic tag logging you’re currently using. For the PVP/CLX combo, consider integrating with a dedicated historian software like FactoryTalk Historian or even using SQL databases for more extensive logging capabilities. These solutions can handle a larger volume of tags and provide powerful data analysis options. Another option could be using the built-in logging features of TIA Portal, which can also help manage alarms and actions more efficiently. Just make sure to evaluate your system's performance since heavy logging can impact application responsiveness!
