How to datalog in rslogix 5000

Hi guys
I have been asked if I can program a compactlogix to datalog and display the results on a pvp 700 with a time stamp, I have never done this so it will be a learning curve for me, has anyone got a sample I can see and repeat, thank you.
Thanks stu

Panelview Pluses can do datalogging and trending. Also look at DataStorePlus for ME. How much data are we talking about?

Describe in more detail what you want to do.

FactoryTalk View ME's datalog functions are pretty basic. There is a single "Data Log Model" that will periodically write the values of a bunch of tags into a little database. That data is usually used to provide historical data for Trend objects.

The Alarming system could be thought of as a "Data Log", and it does have time stamping.

There's also an ActiveX control that will run on the PV+CE models that does some datalogging to flat files (usually .CSV) for external extraction.

Or you could "roll your own" and create a display with a bunch of embedded variables that point to array tag elements.

With any data logging application, the first thing to do is describe how many data points, how fast you want to read them, and how long you want to keep them. The second thing is to describe how you want them to be displayed.

Right. I've been doing a project using Data Stor Plus for an ME system running on a PC. It won't work ona standard PV+ since it's an ActiveX control.

Hi guys,
I have 3 machine that have a tipper on it they want to record when it tips ?? I have heard that panelview plus is not very good at recording??
Thanks stu

For every tip we would like to record the time and date of the time, and display on the pvp700 is it better to data log in the plc or on the pvp ?
I would like to see example of the data logging code if anyone has got one thanks for your time , stu
