Data

Overview

In the context of this document, data means the collection of the data of the controller and the peripherals.

The following components can be available:

  • Data (objects and their parameters) of the PLC configuration.

  • One or several message loggers from the controller.

  • One or several message loggers from the file system.

  • Additional information from the dialog box Machine info.

  • Data view settings.

The data is stored in xml format.

When saving, you can designate whether the file is to be saved directly as an .xml file or compressed.

The compressed form is the default setting and has the file extension .pdi.

NOTE: The .pdi file extension can be replaced by the .zip extension to be unpacked using a standard data compression program.
