Log File - General Information

Introduction

The log file records actions executed by the OPC server which allows you to analyze detected errors.

The log file is located in the directory of the OPC server C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Schneider Electric\OPC-Server or C:\Programme (x86)\Schneider Electric\OPC-Server - depending on the EcoStruxure Machine Expert version installed.

When exceeding a size of 1 Mb, the log file is split. It is extended by the date and saved. A new log file is created.

NOTE: If you cannot solve your issues with the help of the log file, contact your Schneider Electric service representative for further assistance.
