Event Log is the time­stamped status data. It allows to review latest events and changes for device’s state changes in chronological order. Newest events are shown at the top of the list. WCC Lite will time­stamp the status data with a time resolution of one millisecond.

Initially, all breakers, protection contacts digital status input points in the WCCLite; events captured from IEDs (Intelligent electronic devices) shall be configured as Event Log points. It’s possible to assign any digital status input data point in the WCCLite as SOE point with Excel template during configuration.

Each time a device changes state, the WCClite will save it with time­tag in internal storage. WCC Lite will maintain a Event Log buffer within the configured history size limitations. Event Log can also be downloaded by pressing the download button at the bottom of the page.

Events are recorded only for devices that have log field set. When log size exceeds its limit, oldest records are deleted.
