Use the iFIX Process Database Log File

With the OPC Client driver you can create new items that are added to both the Power Tool and the iFIX Process Database. You can also add existing items from the Power Tool to the Process Database.

When you add items to the iFIX Process Database a log file is created automatically to record all the actions that you performed.

The log file name can be changed using the Setup dialog box.

 To use the iFIX Process Database log file:

  1. From the File menu, choose Open. The Open window browser appears.
  2. From the Files of type list, select LogFiles (*.TXT). All available log files are displayed.
  3. Double-click the log file you want to view.

The log file is in .CSV format and has the following fields:

Field

Description

Date and Time

Tag Information

Displays the tag name, the tag description, and the tag I/O address.

Status
