Set up Cimplicity

  1. To set up data logging in Cimplicity, from the CIMPLICITY Workbench, double-click Database Logger.

  2. To determine what database the historical data is logged to select Edit, Logging Properties.

  3. Under the Default Point Connection tab, choose an existing ODBC data source. If there is not one there that fits your needs, you can create a new ODBC data source from XLReporter’s Project Explorer, under the Tools tab by selecting Database, DSN Settings.

    There are 2 methods of historical data logging, Point Data logging and Group Point logging. With Point Data logging every configured point is logged as a separate record. With Group Point logging every configured point is logged as a single record at the same time.

    Cimplicity has provided a default table for both Point Data logging (DATA_LOG) and Group Point logging (GROUP_LOG). You can either add points to these tables or create your own by selecting File, New Table.

  4. To add points to a table, right-click the table and select Add Points.
