SM2000 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 77.

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

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 67.

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.

Note.

While in Historical Review mode:

 Recording of new data continues unless stopped from the Setup Menu – see

Section 3.4, page 32.

 Invalid historical data (e.g. when recording has stopped) is denoted by '– – –' in the

digital indicator.

 Where the trace at the cursor position represents more than one sample, the

indicators flash between the maximum and minimum values of those samples.

 Menu options remain active – allowing the screen interval to be changed, different

scales and channels to be selected, etc.

 Operator messages generated are added to the alarm event log at the present

time, not the time indicated by the cursor.

 All data stored in the instrument's internal memory can be viewed.

 The display can be scrolled back to the start of the oldest data.

 Archiving to removable media does not occur but all data recorded in the internal

memory buffer during this time is archived on exiting Historical Review mode.

Select 'Goto' to move to data stored in the instrument's onboard memory that was recorded at a specific date and time.

Note.

 If daylight saving is enabled (see Section 4.4.3, page 54) and the selected 'Goto'

target date/time is within the daylight saving period, 'Daylight Saving' is displayed on the dialog box.

 Once internal memory becomes full, oldest data is overwritten by newest data. If

historical review has been selected for some time, the oldest data present may no longer be available.

 If different sample rates have been selected for individual channels (Advanced

Configuration mode only – see Sections 4.4.1 and 4.6.1), earlier data from channels with faster sample rates are overwritten before those with slower sample rates.

 The instrument exits Historical Review mode automatically after 15 minutes if no

key is pressed.

Select Exit to return to the real-time recording display.

Note. Pressing the key also exits Historical Review mode and displays the next enabled view.

Advanced Videographic Recorder

SM2000 2Operation

Add one of 24 predefined Operator Messages (see Section 4.4.7, page 60) or one UserDefined Message to the alarm event log.

If '< user defined >' is selected, a data entry keyboard appears to enable the message to be entered (see Fig. 4.5, page 50).

The selected or user-defined message is displayed briefly on screen. If Operator Message annotation is selected (see 'Chart Annotation' below) the message is also added to the chart.

Note. When the instrument is in Historical Review mode, Operator Messages generated are added at the current time, not the time indicated by the cursor.

If an alarm or operator message is obscuring part of a chart trace, use the Chart Annotation option to hide or display alarms and messages on the screen. Select the annotation required.  indicates the annotations selected.

The possible combinations are:

 No annotation (Alarms and Operator Messages both disabled)

 Alarm annotation only

 Alarms and Operator Message annotation

Operator Message annotation cannot be enabled unless Alarm annotation is also enabled.

Note.

 If more than 15 icons are present on the screen, chart annotation is disabled

automatically.

 When chart annotation is disabled, new operator messages and alarms are still

added to the Alarm Event log – see Section 2.7, page 23.

IM/SM2000 Issue 13 11

Advanced Videographic Recorder

SM2000 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

When 'Configuration Type' is set to 'Basic' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), 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 64. Unavailable screen intervals are greyed-out.

When 'Configuration Type' is set to 'Advanced' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), all screen intervals are available.

Note. The time taken for the screen to refresh after changing the screen interval setting is dependent on the sample rate and screen interval selection, e.g. fast sample rate + long screen interval = slow refresh rate.

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 on one or more channels in 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:

 If 'Configuration type' is set to 'Basic' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), the primary

and secondary sample rates apply to all enabled channels in each Process Group – see Section 4.5.1, page 64. Therefore, individual channel selections are greyedout in the menu and the 'Stop', 'Primary' and 'Secondary' selections are applied to all channels in the current process group simultaneously.

 If 'Configuration type' is set to 'Advanced' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), each

channel's sample rates are configured independently (see Section 4.6.1, page 77) and the 'Stop', 'Primary' and 'Secondary' selections can be applied to individual or all channels.

Note.

 Switching between the primary and secondary sample rates does not affect the

screen interval in the Chart view.

 When a channel is set to 'Stop' the instantaneous value in the associated indicator

is displayed in red and, after the end of the next sample period, no further samples are plotted on the associated trace.

 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 64 and 4.6.1, page 77.

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.

5. Select data to be archived if >1 hour (Text format) or >1 day (Binary format) of data in internal memory and press .

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.

New text format log data files are also created 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.

3.6.4 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 (5 Mb) 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 4.4.3, page 54.

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.

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).

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 121 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 75.

When 'Configuration type' is set to 'Basic' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), 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

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 121 for full details of internal memory and external archive media storage capacity.

4.5.6 Archiving Introduction

Recorded data, logs and configuration files stored in the instrument's internal memory can be archived to files created in removable media in either text or binary encoded format. Parameters for archiving Process Group 1 are set up independently from Process Group 2 parameters.

For a full description of archiving and archive file formats, refer to Sections 3.5 to 3.10.

Sample Rates – Fig. 4.9

If 'Configuration type' is set to 'Basic' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), data is saved to the archive file at the same rate as it is saved to internal memory, i.e. at either the Group's primary or secondary recording sample rate.

If 'Configuration type' is set to 'Advanced' (see Section 4.4.1, page 52), the sample rate for archiving is set independently of the recording channel sample rates that are used for saving the data to internal memory. The archive primary and secondary sample rates can be linked to an internal recording channel so that when that channel is switched between primary and secondary sample rate the archive sample rate is also switched between the archive primary sample rate and the archive secondary sample rate.

4.6.2 Analog Input Configuration

Note.

 The 'Analog I/P' tab is displayed only if 'Source ID' for the Recording Channel is set to an analog signal source – see

Section 4.6.1, page 77.

 If an analog input is assigned to more than one recording channel, changes to any of its parameters and tags are applied to

each channel the input is assigned to.

 If an analog input is already assigned to another channel, the edit keys ( ) are not available.

Select the electrical characteristics of the input.

Note.

 Simulated input types are available for evaluating

instrument features without the need for process connections.

 If 'Volt free digital input' is selected, the input channel

becomes a digital input channel – see Section 4.6.3, page 84.

 Select 'Off' to disable an analog input.

Warning.

 Ensure that the appropriate electrical connections have

been made – see Section 5.4, page 105.

 When 'Type' is set to 'Volts', input signals with voltages

greater than 2 V (standard inputs) or 1 V (high specification inputs)

must be connected through an

external voltage divider (part no. GR2000/0375) – see Section 5.4.1, page 105.

 Input signals with voltages up to 2 V (2000 mV – standard

inputs) or 1 V (1000 mV – high specification inputs) may be measured without the need for the voltage divider by setting 'Type' to 'millivolts'.

 An external 10 Ω shunt resistor is required for current

ranges – see Section 5.4.1, page 105.

Select the linearizer type and the units used to condition the input signal before it is sampled.

Note.

 For thermocouple applications using an external fixed cold

junction, set 'Type' to 'millivolts' and select the appropriate linearizer type.

 Linearizer units are displayed only if a temperature

linearizer type (Thermocouple or RTD) is selected.

4.6.5 Totalizer Configuration

Note.

 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 2 s, 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).

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 D1, Digital I/P D2

Additionally, digital inputs from a hybrid module in position D (see see Fig. 5.5, page 104) can be used to produce up to 32 Binary Encoded (BCD) digital states, e.g.:

BCD digital I/P D0 to BCD digital I/P D31

BCD digital inputs can be used as digital sources in the same way as standard digital inputs.

Inputs D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 have 'weightings' of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 respectively. A rising edge on input D6 is used as the update trigger.

Following an inactive to active transition on input D6, inputs D1 to D5 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 D1 (weighting = 1), D2 (weighting = 2) and D4 (weighting = 8) are active when digital input D6 (update trigger) is activated, BCD digital input D11 (1 + 2 + 8) is activated. BCD digital inputs D0 to D10 and BCD digital inputs D12 to D31 are deactivated.

If digital inputs D1 to D5 are all inactive when digital input D6 (update trigger) is activated then BCD digital input D0 is activated. BCD digital inputs D1 to D31 are deactivated.
