1. A system for configuring industrial devices, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components;
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to render development interfaces on a client device and to receive, via interaction with the development interfaces, control programming input; and
a program development component configured to generate an industrial control program for an industrial control device based on the control programming input; and
wherein
the industrial control program comprises a first data logging instruction configured to log a value of a first data tag in response to a change of a value of a specified variable,
the first data logging instruction comprises a parameter, configurable by the control programming input, that specifies a degree of change of the value of the specified variable that causes the first data logging instruction to log the value of the first data tag,
the control programming input defines a link between a time-domain input of the first data logging instruction and a time-domain output of a second data logging instruction defined in the industrial control program,
the second data logging instruction is configured to log a value of a second data tag in response to a defined condition, and
the link causes the first data logging instruction to log the value of the first data tag in response to the second data logging instructing logging the value of the second data tag.
