Hi,
To check motor starting current or torque it will be very useful if the current variable is traced and graphically displayed. Does exist any FB which can be used in the program to define trace variable, trigger and save the trace result? I found MC_BR_Partrace, but I don’t have opportunity to test if this is what I am looking for. Or it is used to trace ParIDs only? This functionality should be used with SG4 and ACP10, project is not done with mapp Motion or mappView..
The question is: Do you need this always or just for your setup purposes?
Setup purposes
The ACP10 test window includes a trace that you can use for tracing all ParIDs you wish for and can visialize it as well as perform calculations on it. It can not trace additional PLC variables
Runtime purposes
You could use cyclic parid reading and show the data on a VC4 visu using the trend control there.
Or you could use MC_BR_ParTrace (again, only allows for ParIDs, not PLC vars, to be traced) and using it to save the data as csv which you can then parse and display whichever way you want (e.g. on a VC4 visu using trend control… or drawing manually, …)
That’s the ways I can think of spontaneuosly
Best regards
Hello,
If you know mapp Cockpit and would like to have the same Trace functionality in your Application you can access the library with your own Program.
ParID Trace will work for MappMotion Axis. I am not sure if they are backwords compatible for ACP10 , i rather don’t think so, if needed this must be clarified.
An Export to CSV-File is possible.
The File can later be manualy imported to MappCockpit for Analysis.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Greetings
Michael
With Cockpit I know it works, but this is old application.. I will try with ParID trace
