If connections to target platforms or clients have been established, all connection-specific actions are logged in a text file. You can open this (current) file and, e.g., scan it for indications of possible connection problems.

You can open the log file via the button <Open log file>. The button is available in the I/O Manager:

• for many interfaces in the respective interface overview

• for integrated servers (e.g. OPC UA server) in the Diagnostics tab.

In the file system on the hard drive, you can find the log files of the ibaPDA server (…\ProgramData\iba\ibaPDA\Log). The file names of the log files include the name or abbreviation of the interface type.

Files named interface.txt are always the current log files. Files named Interface_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.txt are archived log files.

Examples:

• ethernetipLog.txt (log of EtherNet/IP connections)

• AbEthLog.txt (log of Allen-Bradley Ethernet connections)

• OpcUAServerLog.txt (log of OPC UA server connections)
