FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains the details on the functions of System Recorder.
1.1

Recording Function

The recording function can be used to output data in a CPU module and video data captured by a network camera to a
recording file and save them to a save destination specified in the recording setting when a file saving trigger is satisfied.
The saved recording file can be reproduced by using the offline monitor function. This can facilitate identification and analysis
of trouble factors and reduce the system downtime. (Page 92 Offline Monitor Function)
The following data (recording target data) can be saved as a recording file.
Recording target data
Device and label
Event history
*2
Video data
*1 When specifying SFC devices, check the versions of a CPU module, recorder module/camera recorder module, and GX Works3.
Page 307 Added and Changed Functions
*2 When specifying it as recording target data, use a camera recorder module.
GX Works3
1.
Set programs, parameters, and recording settings in GX Works3.
2.
Write them to a CPU module.
3.
Reset the CPU module or turn the power OFF and ON to switch the CPU module to RUN.
When the recording function is in preparation and the preparation is completed, the following operations start according to the
recording settings.
• Sampling and accumulating devices and labels
• Receiving and accumulating video data
*1 Link devices of a network module mounted on the base unit and values in the buffer memory of an intelligent function module can also
be sampled and accumulated.
*2 Does not start if the communication with a network camera is not established and video data is not delivered from the network camera.
The timing when video data is delivered differs depending on the operating status, performance, and network configuration of a network
camera.

1.1 Recording Function
Description
*1
Values in devices and labels of a CPU module, in the buffer memory of a module, and in link devices on a network.
A value at any timing can be saved for a set period.
When using a safety CPU, standard devices, safety devices, standard labels, safety labels, and standard/safety shared
labels used in all programs including safety programs can be sampled.
Errors occurred on a network or in a module, and event information such as writing data to devices and labels
Video data captured by a network camera.
Data at any timing can be saved for a set period.
It is saved as a video file in a recording file.
