Device setup: logs

Path:	, Site configuration, Line configuration page, click on the device, Log setup

Purpose

Monitors device operating details.

Description

Define which device variables should be recorded and how.

What to do next

Create report templates (see chapter Periodic report setup).

Create scheduled activities to be printed in the periodic report (see chapter Scheduled activities)

Create activities for a condition between two log variables or a variable and a constant (see Alarm or event activities).

Before setting event activities, set sampling frequencies for the variables involved. The shortest frequency will be the interval used by the system to check the conditions (see page Activities: event conditions).

If sampling frequency changes, rewrite the condition.

This setup can be propagated from one device to another of the same type (see chapter Setup propagation).

HACCP indicates that the variable will be recorded according to HACCP regulations (EN 12830 Temperature recorders for transport, preservation and distribution of refrigerated, frozen food products and ice cream).

HACCP report recording parameters cannot be edited. Sampling frequency is set at 30 minutes to guarantee a minimum length of one year as required by the regulation.

Action

Setting recording modes for HACCP and logs

Double-click a variable row
Setting all data:

Code

Code or variable name

U.M.

Unit of measure

HACCP

The variable is saved every 15 minutes for 13 months and appears in HACCP reports.

Log

The variable will appear in log reports.

Log length

Recording length (logs only). When the limit is reached, the oldest data is overwritten.

Minimum variation

(only for logs)

Values recorded at the set frequency that do not exceed this variation are not recorded.

Frequency

(only for logs) Recording frequency.

Recording frequency sets the time when the system checks whether the condition is true to run the action (i.e.. send a text message - SMS) in an event activity.
