SM1000 2Operation
Note.
1. Current Values
The Current Value, shown on the digital indicators at either the top (vertical chart view) or right hand side (horizontal chart view) of the screen, is the latest instantaneous value and its update rate is not affected by the recording sample rate.
If the current value in the digital indicator is displayed in red, recording has been stopped for that channel – see Section 3.4, page 32 and see Section 4.6.1, page 72.
Traces are shown only when that particular channel is being recorded. When a channel is set to Stop, its trace continues to be shown for up to one sample period.
2. Alarm Status
– Flashing red alarm event icon – alarm active and unacknowledged
– Continuous red alarm event icon – alarm active and acknowledged
If
any alarm in any process group is active, the Global Alarm status icon ( ) is displayed in the status bar – see Fig. 2.3. If
any active alarm in any process group is unacknowledged, the icon is surrounded by a red flashing border ( ).
3. Alarm Event and Operator Message Annotations
Alarm Event and Operator Message annotations are not shown on the chart unless enabled – see 'Chart Annotation' on page 11 and see Section 4.5.2, page 63.
If Alarm event annotation is enabled and an alarm becomes active, a red alarm event icon surrounded by a channel colored box is displayed at the point at which the alarm occurred, together with the alarm time and tag, e.g.
11:58:00 1.1A High Level
If more than one alarm occurs in the same sample period:
– and the second alarm on a channel becomes active, its icon is added behind the first.
– and more than one operator message is active (max. six), a second icon is added behind the first.
– the new alarm event icons appear to the left of earlier icons.
– the time and tag of the oldest alarm (right-most icon) only is displayed.
4. Screen Capture
If 'Screen capture' is set to 'Enabled' in Common Configuration (see Section 4.4.1, page 52) and an external archive media card is inserted in the instrument, an image of any Chart, Bargraph, Digital Indicator, Process, Instrument Status, Audit Log, Alarm Log or Totalizer Log view can be saved to the external media by pressing the key whenever the Operator Menu is not open.

SM1000 2Operation
Use the 'Screen Interval' to change the amount of data displayed on the screen. A longer screen interval displays more data, a shorter screen interval displays data over a shorter time period, but in more detail. In both cases, the full trace is preserved by plotting the maximum and minimum samples for each display point.
Longer interval =
better overview
Shorter interval
= more detail
The screen intervals available in the menu are determined by the faster of the primary and secondary sample rates set for the process group during configuration – see Section 4.5.1, page 61. Unavailable screen intervals are greyed-out.
Table 2.1 shows the relationship between sample rate and screen interval for the Vertical and Horizontal Chart views.
Note.
A 'Please Wait' message appears in the status bar while the instrument retrieves
data from storage.
Selecting a different screen interval does not affect the rate at which data is
sampled.
When in historical review mode, changing the screen interval causes the time at
the cursor position to change.

3.4 Setup Menu
Use this menu to stop and start recording or switch between the Primary and Secondary sample rates for the current Process Group.
The Primary sample rate is set typically to a relatively slow rate (depending upon process recording requirements) and is active during normal process operating conditions in order to maximize internal memory and external archive media.
The Secondary sample rate is set typically to a faster rate than the Primary sample rate and may be selected manually in order to record the maximum amount of detail during, for example, an alarm condition.
The rates are set during configuration – see Section 4.5.1, page 61.
Note.
Switching between the primary and secondary sample rates does not affect the
screen interval in the Chart view.
When the channels are set to 'Stop' the instantaneous values in the associated
indicators are displayed in red and, after the end of the next sample period, no further samples are plotted on the associated traces.
Digital recording channels can only be set to 'Stop' or 'Go'.
Recording control can also be implemented using digital sources – see Sections
4.5.1 page 61 and 4.6.1 page 72.
If selected, the date of the oldest unarchived data is set to that of the oldest data in the internal flash memory. This allows all data in the internal memory to be re-archived to external media.
Note. Ideally, a blank media storage card should be inserted prior to selecting this function.
To re-archive data:
1. Insert archive media, with sufficient free space, into the instrument.
2. Select 'Off-line' in the Setup Menu.
3. Select 'Reset archiving' in the Setup Menu.
4. Select 'On-line' in the Setup Menu.

3.6.1 Text Format Channel Data Files
Text format channel data files can be configured to contain data gathered over a predefined period of time using the 'New File Interval' setting – see Table 3.3.
New File Interval Filename
Hourly <hour> <day, month, year>* <filename tag>
Daily <day, month, year>* <filename tag>
Monthly <month, year>* <filename tag>
None <filename tag>
* Formatted according to the date format set in Common
Configuration – see Section 4.4.3, page 54
Table 3.3 New Text File Intervals
Note. The 'New File Interval' is set in the Configuration level – see Section 4.5.6, page 70.
In addition to new channel data files being created according to the New File Interval selection, they are also created in the following circumstances if automatic update is enabled and the media is on-line or if a manually triggered update is in progress:
The instrument's power is lost then restored.
The instrument is taken offline and the archive media
removed, replaced or refitted.
The instrument's configuration is changed.
One of the current files exceeds the maximum permissible
size.
When the daylight saving period starts or ends.
Files containing data generated during the daylight saving period (summertime) have '~DS' appended to the filename.
Example 1 – Start of daylight saving period: A daily file is started at 00:00:00 on 30th March 2003 – filename: 30Mar03ProcessGroup1.D00.
Summertime starts at 2:00am on 30th March 2003. The clock changes automatically to 3:00am. The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 30Mar03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00.
The file '30Mar03ProcessGroup1.D00' contains data generated from 00:00:00 to 01:59:59 (before summertime starts).
The file '30Mar03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00' contains data generated from 03:00:00 (after summertime starts).
Example 2 – End of daylight saving period: A daily file is started at 00:00:00 on 26th October 2003 – filename: 26Oct03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00
Summertime ends at 3:00am on 26th October 2003. The clock changes automatically to 2:00am. The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 26Oct03ProcessGroup1.D00
The file '26Oct03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00' contains data generated from 00:00:00 to 02:59:59 (before summertime ends).
The file '26Oct03ProcessGroup1.D00' contains data generated from 02:00:00 (after summertime ends)
Note. The instrument's internal clock can be configured to adjust automatically at the start and end of Daylight Saving Time (Summertime) periods – see Section 4.4.6, page 60.
When one of these conditions occurs, new channel data files are created for each enabled group and the file extension index on each new file is incremented by one from the previous file.
Example – if the original file had an extension of .D00, after one of the above events a new file will be created with the same filename but an extension of .D01.

3.6.3 Text Format Log files
The Alarm Event and Totalizer Logs for each Process Group and the Audit Log are archived into individual files. The filenames are formatted as shown in Table 3.4 with the date and the time indicating the first entry in the file.
Log File Filename
Alarm Event <hour min> <dd, mm, yy>* <process group tag>.e00
Totalizer <hour min> <dd, mm, yy>* <process group tag>.t00
Audit <hour min> <dd, mm, yy>* <instrument tag>.a00
* Formatted according to the date format set in Common
Configuration – see Section 4.4.3, page 54
Table 3.4 Log File Formats
If one of the archive log files becomes full (>64000 entries) a new file is created with an extension incremented by 1, e.g. a01, e01 etc.
Note. Totalizer logs are created only if the totalizer option is enabled.
New text format log data files are also created when the daylight saving period starts or ends.

3.6.4 Text Format Data File Examples – Figs. 3.5 to 3.8
Text format archived data is stored in a comma separated value (*.csv) format so that it can be imported directly into a standard spreadsheet, e.g. Microsoft Excel™ and Lotus 1-2-3™. The files can also be read as an ASCII text file by a text viewer. When imported into a spreadsheet, the files appear as shown in Figs.
3.5 to 3.8.
Alternatively, detailed graphical analysis of the data can be carried out on a PC using the Company's DataManager data analysis software package.
3.6.5 Text Format Data File Digital Signatures – Fig. 3.5
A digital signature file is created for each channel data file using the same filename but with a *.S** extension. The file contains a unique 'fingerprint' of the contents of the data file that can be used to prove if the data has been tampered with or corrupted. Data validation can be carried out on a PC using the Company's DataManager software package.
3.6.6 Text Format Data Verification and Integrity
When data is saved to the archive media it is checked automatically to verify that the date value stored on the media matches exactly the date value stored in the internal memory.

3.7.2 Binary Format Channel Data Files
A new binary format channel data file is created under the following conditions:
When the current file for a channel does not exist on the
media card.
When the maximum size (5Mb) of the existing data file is
exceeded.
When the recording channel's configuration is changed.
When the daylight saving period starts or ends.
Note. The instrument's internal clock can be configured to adjust automatically at the start and end of Daylight Saving Time (Summertime) periods – see Section 4.4.6, page 60.
Files containing channel data generated during the daylight saving period (summertime) have '~DS' appended to the filename.
Example 1 – Start of daylight saving period: Archiving is started at 01:45:00 on 30th March 2003 – filename: 01450030Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000.B00.
Summertime starts at 2:00am on 30th March 2003. The clock changes automatically to 3:00am. The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 03000030Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000~DS.B00.
The file '01450330Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000.B00' contains data generated from 01:45:00 to 01:59:59 (before summertime starts).
The file '03000030Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000~DS.B00' contains data generated from 03:00:00 (after summertime starts).
Example 2 – End of daylight saving period: Archiving is started at 00:15:00 on 26th October 2003 – filename: 00150026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000~DS.B00.
Summertime ends at 3:00am on 26th October 2003. The clock changes automatically to 2:00am. The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 02000026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000.B00.
The file '00150026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000~DS.D00' contains data generated from 00:15:00 to 02:59:59 (before summertime ends).
The file '02000026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM2000' contains data generated from 02:00:00 (after summertime ends).
3.7.3 Binary Format Log files
A new binary log file is created under the following conditions:
When an existing valid binary log file does not exist on the
media card.
When the maximum size (64000 entries) is exceeded.
When the daylight saving period starts or ends.
Files containing log data generated during the daylight saving period (summertime) have “~DS” appended to the filename.
3.7.4 Binary Format Data File Examples – Figs. 3.9 to 3.12
Binary format archived data is stored in a secure binary encoded format. A separate file is created for each recording channel. The log data is stored in an encrypted text format. The files can be read on a PC using the Company's DataManager data analysis software package.
Note. Binary format archive files created during the daylight saving period (summertime) are compatible with the database feature of Version 5.8 (or later) only of the Company's DataManager data analysis software package.
3.7.5 Binary Format Data Verification and Integrity
When data is saved to the archive media it is checked automatically to verify that the data stored on the media matches exactly what is stored in the internal memory.
Each block of data in the channel data files has its own data integrity check. This enables the integrity of the data stored on the external media card to be verified when it is viewed using the Company's DataManager software package.
The log files also contain built-in integrity checks enabling the integrity of the data to be verified by the DataManager software.

3.8 Archiving Online/Offline
Before data can be archived to external media, the external media must be placed on-line and one or more archive file enables set.
When an external archive media card is inserted and there
is <1 day (Binary format) or <1 hour (Text format) of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed giving the user the choice of putting the media on-line or remaining off­line. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the media card is placed on-line automatically:
When an external archive media card is inserted and there
is >1 day (Binary format) or >1 hour (Text format) of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed prompting the user to select either the data to be archived or remain off­line:
External archive media can be set on-line (if a media card
is inserted) or off-line in the setup menu.
Set archiving off-line before removing external media to
prevent loss of data and possible damage to the media card.
When external archive media contains approximately 250
files, its read/write performance begins to degrade and either of the 'Warning – Too Many Files' icons ( or ) are displayed. Change the media as soon as possible.
When external archive media contains approximately 300
files, its read/write performance becomes too slow, Archiving is stopped automatically and the 'Too Many Files – Archiving Stopped' icons ( alternating with ) are displayed. Change the media immediately to prevent loss of data.
Note. Data stored in the internal memory buffer can still be transferred to the archive media when the archive media is placed on-line again (providing it is not off-line so long that the un-archived data in the internal memory is overwritten).
3.9 Backing-up Archived Data
It is advisable to back-up critical data stored on SmartMedia or Compact Flash cards on a regular basis. The instrument's internal memory provides a buffer for the most recent data so, if data stored on archive media is lost, it can be re-archived – see 'Reset archiving' on page 32.
To ensure that all required data is available for re-archiving, it is recommended that data archived on archive media is removed and backed-up before the instrument's internal buffer overwrites that data. The length of time for which data remains in the instrument's internal memory depends on the sample rate and the number of channels selected – see Table C.1 on page 116 for details.
If a large amount of Text format unarchived data is
selected, a progress bar appears. During this time operator views cannot be accessed, but new data continues to be recorded to the internal buffer memory.

3.10 Archive Wrap
Archiving can be configured to delete the oldest archived data file automatically from the external media when the media approaches its maximum capacity – see 'Wrap' on page 71.

The instrument can be configured to sample all recording channels in the group simultaneously and store the data in internal memory and external archive media (if archiving is enabled) at two rates, Primary and Secondary.
The Primary sample rate is active during normal process operating conditions and is set typically to a relatively slow rate (depending upon process recording requirements) in order to maximize internal memory and external archive media capacity.
The instrument can be configured to switch to a faster, Secondary sample rate when a selected digital source becomes active in order to record the maximum amount of detail for the period in which that source is active, or may be switched manually – see Section 3.4, page 32.
Set the Primary sample rate to between 0.1 seconds and 720
1
minutes (12 hours). The table below compares example sample rates with the equivalent chart speeds of a traditional chart recorder together with the storage capacity of internal memory. Refer to Appendix C, page 116 for full details of internal memory and external archive media storage capacity.

The delay time is the period of time for which alarm activation is delayed after the enable signal is switched on. Once the delay time has expired, the alarm operates in the same way as a standard High/Low process alarm.
Note.
Rate alarms only – see Fig. 4.14.
A Rate alarm remains active until the rate has been within
limits for at least one complete Alarm Period.
Set the minimum or maximum amount of deviation allowed within the Rate Alarm Period before the alarm is activated.
Set the time period over which the deviation is measured. For High Rate alarms, the alarm becomes active if the value changes by more than the deviation value within the alarm period. For Low Rate alarms, the alarm becomes active if the channel value changes by less than the deviation within the alarm period.
Set the filter time to be used to reduce the number of spurious alarm trips. The source signal is averaged over the filter period prior to the rate alarm being determined.

4.6.5 Totalizer Configuration
Note.
The totalizer tab is displayed only if the Totalizer option is enabled.
Current totalizer values are displayed in the Digital Indicator and Process Views – see Sections 2.5 and 2.6 (Operation),
and Sections 4.5.5 and 4.5.4 (Configuration) respectively.
For analog sources, the total value of a signal is calculated by counting pulses produced at a rate proportional to the input.
For digital sources, off/on transitions are counted to produce a batch total.
Select the totalizer Count direction and Wrap action.
When the count direction is set to 'Up', the totalizer counts up from the 'Preset count' value to the 'Predetermined count' value – see next page.
If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'On', the total is reset automatically to the 'Preset count' value once the 'Predetermined count' value is reached.
If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'Off', the count stops when the 'Predetermined count' value is reached.
Note. A wrap pulse, with a duration of 2s, occurs if the total reaches the 'Predetermined count' value and 'Wrap enable' is set to 'On'. If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'Off', the wrap pulse becomes active when the 'Predetermined count' value is reached and remains active until the totalizer is reset. The pulse can be assigned to a relay, digital output or digital counter.
Enter the totalizer tag to be displayed in the Process view and the Totalizer log (20 characters max).
Enter the totalizer units to be displayed in Operator views.
Select the totalizer action following a power failure:
Stop/Go recovery
Last – On power recovery, the totalizer continues in the
same state as before the failure, i.e. stopped or running.
Stop – Totalizer stops counting.

Note.
A digital output source is the internal digital source used to

If a digital output is used to provide a totalizer count pulse,
the maximum pulse frequency is 5Hz.
Select the digital output source polarity.
Note. When the polarity is set to 'Positive', the digital output is energized when the digital source is active (On).
The six digital inputs from any hybrid module produce six independent digital states that can be used as digital sources for recording channels, relay outputs, alarm acknowledgement etc., e.g.:
Digital I/P H1, Digital I/P H2
Additionally, digital inputs from a hybrid module in position H (see Fig. 5.5) can be used to produce up to 32 Binary Encoded (BCD) digital states, e.g.:
BCD digital I/P H0 to BCD digital I/P H31
BCD digital inputs can be used as digital sources in the same way as standard digital inputs.
Inputs H1, H2, H3, H4 and H5 have 'weightings' of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 respectively. A rising edge on input H6 is used as the update trigger.
Following an inactive to active transition on input H6, inputs H1 to H5 are evaluated, the weighted values of any active inputs are added together and the BCD digital input corresponding to the total is activated. All other BCD digital inputs are deactivated.
Example.
If digital inputs H1 (weighting = 1), H2 (weighting = 2) and H4 (weighting = 8) are active when digital input H6 (update trigger) is activated, BCD digital input H11 (1 + 2 + 8) is activated. BCD digital inputs H0 to H10 and BCD digital inputs H12 to H31 are deactivated.
If digital inputs H1 to H5 are all inactive when digital input H6 (update trigger) is activated then BCD digital input H0 is activated. BCD digital inputs H1 to H31 are deactivated.
