Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Defining events Name (16 char) Time condition (32 char) Triggercondition (64 char) Comment (48 char) Triggered Action (64 char) Variation of execution: a. b. c. Time Trigger Time and Trigger

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Trends (Logging and Trending) MX 4 offers various types of trends for logging and trendinding datas combinied with integrated print and exportfunctions! Types of trend • Periodical Trend (with or without Trigger) • Eventtriggered Trend • A combination of both MX 4 provides unrestricted datacollection (restriction only through the harddisksize) Collected datas may be savefed to external storagemedia without interrupting the process Ready trendtemplates reduce the developmenttime for trendpages to „ 0“

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Trendtypes – TRN_PERIODIC Datasampling happens within a fixed samlinginterval. The datasampling can be connected to a triggerconnection

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Trendtypes – TRN_EVENT The datasampling depends on a specific event. The event has to be reseted after each time it´s set. The trentdata are assingned to events.

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Trendtypen – TRN_ PERIODIC_EVENT Datasampling happens in a specific samplinginterval only when at this time the triggercondition becomes true.

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Trend Tags Trendvariable (64 Zeichen) triggercondition (64 Zeichen) Samplingintervals Ø 1 sec. are possible, when the result of the division of 1/samplinginterval is an integer. e. g 1/0. 05=20 Ok! 1/ 0. 3= 3. 3333 n.

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Create Trendpages (1) For the creation of trendpages MX 4 offers various templates in different styles Single Trend one single trend appears on a page Double Trend two single trends appear on a page Zoom Trend A Zoom trend, with two windows and additional zoomfunctions Pop-up Trend A trend which can positioned to each normal page as additional feature Compare-Trend two trends in one window with overlappingfunctionality Event Trend based on an event-triggered-trend

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Alarms (Alarmtypes) (1) MX 4 support two alarmtypes Alarmtypes • Hardware Alarms MX 4 execute continiously internal hardwarecheckroutines of all connected devices. Alarm becomes automaticaly registated. These properties are fixed and needs no further configuration. • Configurated Alarms Are all these alarms which come out of the process and have to be configured manualy.

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Alarms (Alarmtypes) (2) Configured Alarms Alarmtypes Digital Alarms Timealarms (Kritical messages of the Processfield e. g Motoralarm) (Counterdepending Alarms e. g Maintenancemessages) Analog Alarme (Grenzwertverletzungen e. g Temperaturmonitoring) Advanced Alarms (Alarms combined with a delay)

Industrial Automation SCADA & HMI Alarmkategories (1) Each alrm may be assigned to an alarmcategorie Each alarmcategorie has it´s own display properties (Fonts, actions, etc) To each alarmcategorie may be assigned a priority (1 highest 255 lowest) (sortcriterion) default priority is 0 if no priority is defined! Up to 255 alarmcategories can be defined Category 255 is reserved for the hardwarealarms Alarms without Alarmcategory assignment, automaticaly becomes assingned to alarmcategory 0 or to an other systemdefault category in case where 0 doesn´t exist
