Description

In CLICK Programming version 3.8, Audit logs have been added for ALL CLICK PLUS CPUs to record key operations performed on the PLC, helping improve security and traceability. These logs can be stored on the PLC and transferred to a SD card or PC when connected to PLC. These records are automatically recorded and cannot be turned off. A maximum of 100 logs are saved before the oldest are overwritten by newer entries. Audit Records cannot prevent unauthorized access—they are a detection & accountability tool only.
