SOE Monitoring

• SOE Monitoring software is used mainly to monitor the events recorded by SOE modules and also are useful to save them to an excel file

• It provides function that allows the SOE monitoring operation to be independent of Softmaster

• It enables data monitoring and saving

• SOE monitoring software communicates with the ML series PLC for ease and fast operation of the SOE module

• Major Functions of SOE: – Read/save event history – Delete event history

– View module parameter settings – Save event history to excel file

• Files Created in the SOE Monitor:

– <File name>.set log file – for the event created by the user. Used mainly to save the event

– <File name>.xls module event file – created by the user. Used mainly to save the event record to the excel file
