Hi,
I've created this 'report summary' page (see pic).
Basically, this screen is a summary of all the tags saved (by pressing a SAVE button) from previous screens.
What I need to do now is... when the operator presses "Generate Report", it populates all this data into a report/save file...could be a simple spreadsheet (like in Mitsubishi Q-series, you can save this sort of data to a CSV/excel file).
It is not a scheduled logging of data (e.g. once per minute) - it just needs to be logged when the button is pressed...I envisage a 'new row' being created in the 'spreadsheet' each time the button is pressed.
Also, I can't figure out 'where' such a file would be saved (has the PLC S7-1212C got a memory card in it? Would it be saved to my development laptop) or how the spreadsheet would be accessed?
All a bit new to me, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
