message log / alarm log
Explanation:
I translate a lot of Siemens documentation and their controllers generally have an equivalent function, "Meldepuffer" which I translate as "alarm buffer".

However, since the function in your text appears to be a less volatile one than a buffer (which can be overwritten on a first-in-first-out basis), then I would use "log", so either "alarm log" or "message log" would be appropriate.

disagree  Johannes Gleim: No! Fault messages and alarm messages are only small groups of messages. Most messages in industrial environments refer to status and process values.

agree  Schtroumpf: Es geht ja wohl um dieses Gerät: https://tusgahlen.de/pdf/Anleitungen/DDC/DDC4200_2.pdf Und darin enthält der Meldespeicher NUR Störmeldungen.

neutral  Juchi Pratt: Your claim that a Meldespeicher stores other data types (e.g. also states) is valid. 2 items of dissent, however: a) Text from Yuu mentions only errors/faults, not other data types; b) "indication store" sounds strange, patent you cite seems like MT??

  -> Yuu may have additional phrases referring to other messages stored in the same memory.

disagree  Lancashireman: With JP. References sourced from patents.google.com are worse than useless.

  -> I see only one reference by JP. Dorisy proposed 'message storage memory' or 'Meldespeicher', no 'message log'. She did not provide any reference. Not reliable.
