This is my first post, and I have enjoyed reading and learning from all of the other post that have been done. I have a question about logging data. I am using a Direct Logic06 plc and have written a program for a check weigher. What I need to do now is log the last 10 weighs and have the newest weight be in position #1 and the other 9 weights to shift down one position. As each weight passes they will shift down one and the last will be removed. Any ideas on how this can be done Mike
 
It's called a FIFO and can also be done with other methods. Do a search here on different methods. This question has come up many times in the past and there are various examples here.
 
You need to have an HMI or a PC for the storage of your data logging and you need to select which HMI software you use. To name a few, siemens wincc flexible, RSView from rockwell automation, etc...
 
Mark, Thanks for your nudge in the right direction. I have read about FIFO on AD's website and see how this works. I have also downloaded the example program to have a look at. Again thanks for the help. Mike
