PLC Hard Stop Events

Fault events indicate why a PLC shut down so that the issue can be addressed before a restart.

Some PLCs may have error codes from the last case where the PLC faulted or shut down improperly. Record those errors and then clear them. It might be a good idea to report those errors to the HMI as informational data or perhaps to a sys-log server if those features and that infrastructure exist.

Most PLCs also have some kind of first scan feature that generates events. It is a behavior that nearly all PLC equipment have in some form. It is basically one or more flags, or a designated routine that is executed on the first scan of a PLC after it “wakes up.” This First Scan should be logged and tracked.

Why?

Beneficial for…?Why?
  SecurityLogs enable troubleshooting in case of an incident.

Before a PLC becomes operational, especially after having experienced problems, it is important to ensure it is trustworthy.
  ReliabilityLogs are also good sources for debugging if the event was not caused maliciously.
