TwinCAT Eventlogger

With the TwinCAT Eventlogger an alarm and diagnostics system is available that can be installed in all TwinCAT-based controllers with very little programming effort. The TwinCAT Eventlogger has the task of managing all messages (events) appearing in the TwinCAT system; to forward them and, where necessary, to write them into the TwinCAT log file. In this context ‘events’ are understood to comprise alarms, warnings, notes or instructions. Messages can be acknowledged. The Eventlogger has COM/DCOM interfaces. The Message Formatter produces the connection between the actual event and its message text. It fetches the appropriate message string from an external data bank (usually XML-based) containing the message texts, and returns the complete message, including all its parameters, to the visualisation system.

The Event Viewer implements the visualisation of the resulting messages. In this manner the automatic display of all important information concerning an event is possible. It is also possible to create a customised message display by linking the TcEventViewer Type Library. The message texts are comfortably configurated with the TcEvent configurator.

The TwinCAT Eventlogger is included in the TwinCAT system.
