1.1 For Using Logging and Trace Functions
1.1.1 Precautions on Using Logging Function
As an SD memory card is used for the logging function, there are risks of loss of data or data
damage depending on usage conditions. Consider possible risks, design a system and make
an evaluation of the system before using the function.
Precautions when powering off the PLC
If the PLC is powered off during logging or accessing an SD memory card, the following
problems may occur.
Data accumulated in the buffer memory are lost.
Files are damaged.
The SD memory card is damaged.
Take necessary measures such as the use of an uninterruptible power system (UPS) as
necessary.
Logging speed and writing speed into an SD memory card
When the speed accumulating data is faster than the writing speed into an SD memory card,
data cannot be saved. Make an evaluation thoroughly before use.

1.1 For Using Logging and Trace Functions
1.1.2 Selection of SD Memory Cards
Usable SD memory cards
Please use Panasonic SD memory cards (for industrial use).
(Note) An operation check has not been conducted for SD memory cards made by other
manufacturers.
Usable SD memory cards
Printed logo
on CPU unit Card type Capacity
SD memory card 2GB
SDHC memory card 4GB to 32GB
Cautions on handling an SD memory card
The data saved in the SD memory card may be lost in the following cases. We assume no
responsibility whatsoever for the lost of saved data.
The user or a third party has misused the SD memory card.
When the SD memory card was affected by any static electricity or electrical noise.
The SD memory card was taken out, or the PLC body was powered off, while the card was
being accessed.
Formatting an SD memory card
In principle, SD memory cards have been formatted by the time of purchase, and no
formatting by the user is required. If formatting becomes necessary, download formatting
software for SD memory cards on the following website.
NOTES
A file system formatted by PC's standard formatting software does not
satisfy the SD memory card specifications. Please use the dedicated
formatting software.
It is recommended to save important data in another media for backup.
Never remove the card or power off the PLC body while the SD LED on the
CPU unit is flashing (data is being read from or written into the card). Data
may be damaged.
Do not use an SD memory card the memory capacity of which is more than
the usable capacity. Data in the card may be damaged.

1.2.1 Overview of Logging Function
Overview
The logging function is used to record arbitrary contacts and data information together with
time stamp information at any time, and save them in an SD memory card inserted in the
CPU unit.
Log data is saved as csv format files.
Use the "Logging/Trace settings" menu of the tool software FPWIN GR7 to set the
conditions.
The settings are downloaded to the PLC as a part of project data, and stored in the ROM1.
The setting data can be saved in SD memory cards and used.
The logging operation is executed by any of those operations; (1) tool software FPWIN GR7,
(2) dedicated instructions or (3) Autostart by the setting.

1.2.2 Overview of Trace Function
Overview
The trace function is used to record arbitrary contacts and data information together with
time stamp information in the buffer memory in the CPU unit at any time.
Logging data can be uploaded from the buffer memory to the tool software after the trace
operation, and can be displayed as a time chart. Traced data can be saved in SD memory
cards as csv format files.
When the trace stop condition is set to bit device, the operation can be stopped after logging
data of the specified number of samplings after the stop condition has been met.
Use the "Logging/Trace settings" menu of the tool software FPWIN GR7 to set the
conditions.
The settings are downloaded to the PLC as a part of project data, and stored in the ROM1.
The setting data can be saved in SD memory cards and used.
The logging operation is executed by any of those operations; (1) tool software FPWIN GR7,
(2) dedicated instructions or (3) Autostart by the setting.
