Configure a model

Data logging saves specific tag values or data under certain conditions. In the
Data Log Model
editor, you create data log models that define these conditions. The data can be shown in a trend.
When you configure a model you specify how many log values to store, where log files will be stored, the conditions that will trigger data logging, and which tags the model will monitor.
You can define multiple data log models, but at runtime you can use only one data log model at a time.
TIP:
For data logging to occur at runtime, you must select the
Data logging
 box in the
Startup
editor.
The maximum number of tags that can be logged is 100 tags.
