Use the Trace block in order to forward the connected character string to the following locations:

the console of the →runtime system
The console of the runtime system is a command prompt that is opened when the runtime system is started and it displays the messages of the runtime system.
the PLC Logging view of Neuron Power Engineer – The advantage of this view is that its content is listed in tabular form.

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`Msg`	`STRING`	message to be forwarded

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic.

At present, there is no example.

When creating your application within the ST-editor, enter a call of a block by typing the text as requested by the syntax or use Content Assist.
