I hope someone can help me.
I have FactoryTalk View Studio and a PanelView Plus 7 HMI connected to a PLC.
The customer wants the HMI to log data from a number of tags to a .csv file which he can then put on a USB drive.
I have had a good look at the help files and this does not seem to be possible. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks.
 
sorry i cant help you but you help me
.

can you tell me how can i get a gate pulse from AB plc rslogix to the TRIAC .
actually i provide a analog input to plc and got a analog output from plc ....... then now how do i give this signal to a TRIAC

what is the connection / logix / ladder diagran in RSlogix 500
 
Have a look at this thread as well - I started that one a year ago when I had a very similar project. It all worked quite well - I was logging to an SD card rather than a USB stick, but the concept is the same, just a different file path.

There were a few little tricks that I tried to detail as best I could in that thread, so hopefully it can save you a few of the same headaches :)
 
I've done this. There's a DataStore Plus ActiveX object you can put in your FTView project that will write the data to a CSV file either on the terminal or on a memory card you leave plugged in. My setup had it so that it wrote the files to an SD card left in the panel. I then made a USB drive with an autorun.bat batch file that would automatically copy the files to the drive whenever it was plugged in.

That's a great idea. I'm stealing that.

That is a good idea.
If you find that the CSV files writes are too slow, then change it to write to the internal storage.

Hi could you share the instructions for making the bat file?
