SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Read these precautions before using this product.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable controller system, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual.
Page 4 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. (1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured external to the programmable controller.
Page 5 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to each module.
Page 6 [Installation Precautions] WARNING ● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction. [Installation Precautions] CAUTION ●...
Page 7 [Wiring Precautions] CAUTION ● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction. ● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in failure.
Page 8 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] WARNING ● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. ● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
Page 9 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] CAUTION ● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
Page 10 [Operating Precautions] CAUTION ● When changing data and operating status, and modifying program of the running programmable controller from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent function module, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before operation. Incorrect change or modification may cause system malfunction, damage to the machines, or accidents.

Page 18: Chapter 1 Functions
FUNCTIONS This chapter explains the details on the functions of System Recorder. 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.
Page 19 Satisfy a file saving trigger. When the trigger is satisfied, accumulated data (devices, labels, and video data) and event history files saved in the CPU module are output to a recording file and saved to a save destination specified in the recording setting. For the flow to save data, refer to the following: Page 58 Flow to save data •...
Page 20: Recording Methods
Recording methods The following table shows the recording methods. Recording method Description Purpose File saving trigger only Data (devices, labels, and video data) after the Select this method to check the status of a device operating status of the recording function before and after an error occurs in the device when switches to 'operating' can be sampled, received, the error occurrence timing is clear.
Page 21 ■When specifying CPU stop error detection as a file saving trigger If a stop error is detected in a CPU module, accumulated data in the saving period before trigger is saved but data in the saving period after trigger is not saved. When setting the saving period before trigger to '0' seconds, no data is saved because there is no data to save.
Page 22 ■If the communication with a network camera is disconnected Video data cannot be received or accumulated. Receiving and accumulating video data restart when a retry is successful. If there is a period during which the communication is disconnected in a saving period, only video data in the period during which the communication is established can be saved.
Page 23 ■Considerations • The saving period must be set to a length sufficient to sample, receive, and accumulate changed data. • When switching a CPU module from RUN to STOP or stopping the recording function in the "Recording Monitor" screen or if a CPU stop error occurs in the CPU module during a saving period after trigger, data accumulated before the stop is saved.

Page 62 Recording buffer A sampled device and label are accumulated in the internal buffer (recording buffer) of a recorder module/camera recorder module. In addition, received video data is accumulated in the internal buffer (recording buffer) of a camera recorder module. Accumulated data is output to a save destination specified in the recording setting as a recording file when a file saving trigger is satisfied.
Page 63 • When selecting "Recording Startup Trigger + File Saving Trigger" for the recording method Data accumulation stops when the buffer capacity is exceeded. In addition, if the data capacity for a set saving period exceeds the recording buffer capacity, new data in the saving period is not saved.
Page 64 ■Recording buffer batch saving mode The recording buffer batch saving mode is a mode for saving all data accumulated in the recording buffer when selecting "File Saving Trigger Only" for the recording method. When this mode is enabled and a file saving trigger is satisfied, all data accumulated in the recording buffer is saved. This allows data in a period before a set saving period before trigger to be saved.

Page 75: Adding And Changing A Recording Setting
Adding and changing a recording setting A recording setting can be added and changed while the operation of the recording function is stopped. The procedures for adding and changing a recording setting differ depending on the CPU module status. In addition, a recording setting can be written when the recording function is stopped such as when a CPU module is in STOP. To write a recording setting, and add or change a device and label to be sampled without stopping the system, stop the recording function while the CPU module is in RUN, write the recording setting, and start the recording function again.
Page 76 Precautions If the recording function continues running without changing a recording setting after changing a program and data is reproduced on the offline monitor after saving the data, the reproduced values of devices and labels may not be displayed properly. With changing parameters The following shows the procedure after changing the buffer area setting for data sampling or the recording buffer setting.

Page 85: Considerations
Considerations The following shows the considerations for the recording function. When using an SFC program Make sure that only one SFC program is included in a project when using 'device/label batch specification.' If multiple SFC programs are included in a project, 'include SFC device' of 'device/label batch specification' cannot be used. To perform the recording function if multiple SFC programs are included, use 'specify the device range' to specify a step relay with block specification (BL\S) to be sampled.
Page 86 ■Resetting the timeout time The timeout time is reset at the following timings: • The value in a specified device changes. • The operating status switches to 'stopped' or 'preparing.' • The value in 'Timeout detection of file saving trigger' (Un\G4008) is changed from 'enabled' to 'disabled.' ■Timing when a change in a device is ignored Even if the value in a specified device changes within a timeout time, a file saving trigger may be satisfied by timeout detection.

Page 89 ■When stopping the recording function in the "Recording Monitor" screen during file saving The processing continues until the file saving is completed. When changing a recording setting and starting the recording function in the "Recording Monitor" screen before file saving is completed, the changed setting becomes enabled after the file saving is completed.
Page 90 Writing a recording setting When adding or changing a program after configuring the recording setting if 'device/label batch specification' is enabled, devices and labels in the added or changed program are also specified as sampling targets. This may cause the sampling size to increase and exceed the capacity of the buffer size for data sampling when writing the recording setting.
Page 91 ■When turning the power OFF or resetting a CPU module during project data saving When turning the power OFF or resetting a CPU module while project data is being saved to an SD memory card, the project data is deleted without being saved. In addition, the SD memory card may be damaged.
Page 92 When stopping using the project data saving function The following shows the considerations when stopping using the project data saving function after using this function to save project data. ■When a recording file is saved in an SD memory card When reading a recording file in GX Works3, project data in an SD memory card is preferentially read at the same time.
Page 93 Power ON/OFF of a network camera when a trigger occurs Set a network camera not to be powered OFF when a trigger (recording startup trigger or file saving trigger) is satisfied. Otherwise, a created video file may not be played or a displayed time may not match.

Page 298: Appendix 3 Processing Time
Appendix 3 Processing Time This section shows the processing time of the recording function. Sampling time The following shows the processing time of a CPU module required to sample a device and label. It is added to the END processing when selecting "Each Scan" or "Time Specification" for the sampling method and to the program execution time when selecting "Trigger Instruction"...
Page 299 *3 Total number of sampling points in word conversion *4 A standard local device when using a safety CPU *5 A standard latch label when using a safety CPU *6 The number of settings (number of No.s) in GX Works3 *7 '0' if the corresponding device is not set *8 Set as a sampling target when using 'include SFC device' of 'device/label batch specification' *9 Same as a step relay with block specification (BL\S)
Page 300 Period during which devices and labels can be saved A period during which devices and labels can be saved is calculated with the following formula: Saving possible period (second) =   (  )    471,859.2 A saving possible period calculated with this formula is an approximate value because the rate of change and sampling interval vary depending on the program and operating status.
Page 301 Period during which video data can be saved The following table shows periods during which video data can be saved. • These periods are applied in the following cases: - One network camera is connected to one camera recorder module. - The upper limit of the recording buffer capacity (800 MB) is all assigned to video data.
