Figure 1: Log Messages - Local Log

Log messages are displayed on two tabs, Local log and Controller log.

  • The Local Log tab shows all messages managed by the KAS-IDE to explain the current state of the system and to help identify any operation errors encountered when developing your system.
  • The Controller Log shows all messages managed by the KAS Runtime.

Based on the configuration settings (see call out ), only messages that are recorded and that match the filter are displayed.


  • The Configuration button is only available on the Controller log tab when the KAS-IDE is connected to a controller.
