File Log Error

[Evilbeard]

I added a line of logic to record blocks of 31 data points on a monthly basis.



When I tried to load this into my PLC, I got this error:



This is just a DM1E. Is this due to the limit on the RAM size?

No. Sounds like we may have a program encode issue. Please send the project to support@hosteng.com and we'll take a look at it. That's a fairly long list of points, I'm betting we have an error in a length limitation somewhere...DmD is allowing something that the controller is disallowing, or something like that.

It's most likely a missed error check by the instruction editor.  FILELOG editor was missing a few "limit" checks, which SHOULD have been reported as errors when the instruction was edited (e.g. too many entries).  We have already fixed a few of these that will be in the next release.  I would still like to see the project file, however, or at least that one instruction.  Please send it to support@hosteng.com.

Regardless, there is a limit to what a single FILELOG instruction can handle.  The work-around is to split it up across 2 (or more) FILELOG instructions with different base file names (e.g. FILELOG w/RunDataA and another FILELOG w/RunDataB).

Got it!  Thanks!

The new FILELOG validation check would have caught your situation within the editor.  In the next rev, you will get an error message like the attached.
