Multipoint Videographic Recorder 4 Operation

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 5.4, page 43 and see Section 6.6.1, page 87.

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 border around channel indicator alternating with 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 – Fig. 4.3. 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 16 and see Section 6.5.2, page 78.

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, for example:

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 6.4.1, page 61) 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.

While in Historical Review mode:

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

Section 5.4, page 43.

 Invalid historical data (for example, 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 6.4.1, page 61) 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.

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

Add one of 24 predefined Operator Messages (see Section 6.4.4, page 68) or one User-Defined Message to the alarm event log.

If '< user defined >' is selected, a data entry keyboard first appears to enable the message to be entered (see Fig. 6.5, page 56).

An 'Assign to group' dialog box then appears to enable the message to be assigned to one or more Process Groups.

The selected or user-defined message is displayed briefly in the status bar. If Operator Message annotation is selected (see 'Chart Annotation' on page 16) 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.

Multipoint Videographic Recorder 4 Operation

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 40 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 4.9, page 37.

Note. Applicable only to Circular Chart view in Historical Review mode and is greyed-out in the menu until 'Historical review' is selected.

Use 'Chart Duration' to change the amount of data displayed on the screen in historical review mode. A longer chart duration displays more data, a shorter chart duration 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. Unavailable chart durations are greyed-out.

The chart durations 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 6.5.1, page 76. Unavailable chart durations are greyed-out.

Table 4.1 on page 17 shows the relationship between sample rate and chart duration for the Circular Chart view.

Note.

 A 'Please Wait' message appears in the status bar while the instrument retrieves

data from storage.

 Selecting a different chart duration does not affect the rate at which data is

sampled.

 Changing the chart duration causes the time at the cursor position to change.

 If the chart duration is changed when in historical review mode, it reverts to that set

during configuration (see Section 6.5.1, page 76) upon exiting historical review mode.

Multipoint Videographic Recorder 4 Operation

Note. Applicable only to Vertical and Horizontal Chart views.

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.

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 6.5.1, page 76. Unavailable screen intervals are greyed-out.

Table 4.1 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.

5.4 Setup Menu

Use this menu to stop and start recording or change the sample rate for the 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 – see Section 6.5.1, page 76.

Note.

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

screen interval in the Vertical and Horizontal Chart views or the screen duration in the Circular Chart view.

 When the channels are set to 'Stop' the instantaneous values in the associated

indicator 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

Section 6.5.1, page 76.

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.

5.5.6 Channel Data Files

A new channel data file is created under the following conditions:

 On power up.

 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 6.4.1, page 61.

Files containing channel data generated during the daylight saving period 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_1AnlgSM3000.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_1AnlgSM3000~DS.B00.

The file '01450330Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM3000.B00' contains data generated from 01:45:00 to 01:59:59 (before summertime starts).

The file '03000030Mar03Ch1_1AnlgSM3000~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_1AnlgSM3000~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_1AnlgSM3000.B00.

The file '00150026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM3000~DS.B00' contains data generated from 00:15:00 to 02:59:59 (before summertime ends).

The file '02000026Oct03Ch1_1AnlgSM3000.B00' contains data generated from 02:00:00 (after summertime ends).

5.5.7 Log files

A new log file is created under the following conditions:

 When an existing valid log file does not exist on an

external archive media card inserted in the instrument.

 When the maximum size (64,000 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.

5.5.8 On-line/Off-line

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 of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed giving the user the choice of putting the media on-line or remaining off-line. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the media card is placed on-line automatically:

5.5.9 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 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.

5.5.10 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 43.

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 170 for details.

5.5.11 Archive Wrap

Archiving can be configured to delete the oldest archived data file from the external media automatically when the media approaches its maximum capacity – see 'Wrap' on page 85.

 When an external archive media card is inserted and there

is >1 day of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed prompting the user to select either the data to be archived or remain off-line:

 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.

5.5.12 File Formats

The 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. 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.

6.1 Introduction

This section details the configuration of the instrument locally using the front panel membrane switches. A configuration file can also be created on a PC and transferred to the instrument via one of the archive media options.

In addition, up to 5 different configurations can be stored in internal memory and restored when required.

6.1.1 Configuration Level Security

Two methods of configuration access protection are available:

1. Password protection (Factory Default). The Configuration level cannot be accessed until the correct password has been entered – see Fig. 6.1, page

52.

2. Internal switch protection. The Configuration level cannot be accessed until the instrument is withdrawn from its case and the internal switch set to the 'Configuration Level Not Protected' position – see Fig. 6.2, page 53.

6.4.2 Security

Change user names, access privileges and passwords.

Note.

 User 1 is the System Administrator and is able to change user names/access privileges and enter initial passwords for all

users. Other users cannot change their user names and access privileges once set by User 1. All users may change their own passwords.

 All other parameters can be changed only by the System Administrator (User 1).

Set the method of access to the Configuration level. If 'Password protected' is selected, access is by means of the password set above.

Note. If 'Internal switch protected' is selected, access to the Configuration level for all users is prohibited once the changes have been saved and made active. Access to the configuration level is then achieved only by setting the internal security switch to the 'Configuration Level Not Protected' position – see Fig. 6.2, page 53.

When set to 'On', access to the Setup level is password protected and restricted to users with setup access privileges. Each user must enter their own unique password.

Passwords are entered initially by the System Administrator but, subsequently, any user can change their own password. When this parameter is set to 'Yes', each user must change their password after it is used for the first time following initial configuration – see also 'User 2 Password' on page 66.

Enter the time period after which all passwords will expire. After this period of time, all users have to change their passwords.

Enter the time period after which an inactive user's access privileges are de-activated. A user is considered inactive if their password has not been used. A user is de-activated by removal of their access privileges and can be re-activated only by the System Administrator (User 1).

6.4.5 Ethernet

The Ethernet module fitted to the instrument contains an embedded web server enabling the instrument's data and status to be viewed remotely using an internet browser on a PC. The web server supports up to eight independent connections.

Note.

 To connect the instrument to an Ethernet network, see Section 7.9, page 120.

 For an overview of Ethernet Communications and information on testing, FTP access and a operation of the instrument's

embedded web server – see Appendix E, page 176.

 Changes to the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are implemented only after the instrument has been

restarted. Change the addressing parameters, exit and save the configuration, wait until the 'Please Wait' message disappears then power down and restart the instrument.

Set the IP address to be assigned to the instrument. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to distinguish between different devices. The address is a 32 bit value expressed with four values (0 to 255), each separated by a period (.).

The subnet mask is used to indicate which part of the IP address is for the network ID and which is for the host ID. Set as '1's each bit that is part of the network ID, for example,

255.255.255.0 indicates first 24 bits are for the network ID.

Set the IP address for the gateway (router, switch etc.) required to communicate with other networks. This setting may not be required. The default setting is 0.0.0.0

The FTP user name and password are used during logon to enable the FTP server. Access for up to 11 different users is provided. These passwords can also be used to allow access to some functionality provided by the web server.

Enter the name of the user granted FTP access.

Enter the password of the user granted FTP access.

Select whether this FTP user has full access (i.e. the ability to read, write and delete files) or read-only access.

Note. If a user is given full access via FTP, that user is able to delete both data and configuration files. This could result in erroneous operation of the instrument.

Select the level of remote operation access granted to this user:

None – the user is unable to log on to the instrument

remotely using a web browser

Operator – the user can acknowledge alarms and

start/stop totalizers using a web browser

Configuration – in addition to operator functions, the user can

load configurations and change the instrument's internal clock using a web browser

IM/SM3000–EN Rev. L 69

SM3000

Multipoint Videographic Recorder 6 Configuration

6.4.6 email

The instrument can be configured to send emails to a maximum of 6 recipients in response to certain events. The addressees can all subscribe to the same SMTP server or the instrument can be configured to send emails via 2 different SMTP servers to a maximum of 3 addressees per server.

Up to 10, independently configurable triggers can be enabled to generate an email when the selected source becomes active.

When a trigger source becomes active, an internal 1 minute delay timer is started. At the end of that minute, an email is generated that includes, not only the event that initiated the delay timer, but every other event that occurred during the delay period together with any enabled reports. The data returned in the email therefore reflects the real-time alarm state at the time the email was generated, not the state when the first trigger source became active.

Each email includes a link to the instrument's embedded web server enabling the instrument's data and status to be viewed remotely using an internet browser on a PC – see Section 6.4.5, page 69 and see Appendix E, page 176.

SMTP Authentication

SMTP messages are sent without authentication, meaning they are sent without a name and password to identify the originator of the email. This may cause an email server to reject a recorder's request to send an email.

To prevent this, allocate a fixed IP address to the recorder and ensure this IP address is explicitly allowed as valid in the configuration of the email server (and any intervening firewalls).

6.4.7 Modbus TCP

Modbus TCP enables Modbus TCP devices to communicate via an ethernet network transferring Modbus messages via TCP/IP. Communication with standard, serially connected, Modbus RTU devices is also possible through a Modbus TCP Gateway.

The instrument can be configured to act as either a Modbus TCP Server (Slave) or a Modbus TCP Client (Master) device on a Modbus TCP network.

If configured as a Server, the recorder responds to Modbus queries transferred via the Modbus TCP protocol for the registers described in Appendix B, page 131. The recorder can be configured for unrestricted access or access can be restricted to a maximum of 6 Modbus TCP Clients, from defined IP addresses.

If configured as a Client, the recorder collects data from Modbus TCP Servers (or RTUs via a gateway) into its 36 Comms Analog and 36 Comms Digital Channels. Each analog and digital input can be individually configured to any register within any slave device. The configuration allows for receipt of data in most commonly used data formats

Primary

Secondary

Multipoint Videographic Recorder 6 Configuration

The instrument can be configured to sample all recording channels in the group 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 5.4, page 43.

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 on page 170 for full details of internal memory and external archive media storage capacity.

 The rate at which data is displayed in the Chart View

(screen interval [Horizontal and Vertical Chart View] or chart duration [Circular Chart View]) is set separately – see Section 6.5.2, page 78.

 The sample rate determines the maximum screen interval/

chart duration that can be selected – see Table 4.1 on page 17.

Set the Secondary sample rate to between 0.1 seconds and 720 minutes (12 hours).

Select a signal source to enable switching between the primary and secondary sample rates. Refer to Appendix A on page 129 for a description of the available sources.

Note. This signal is edge-triggered. A rising edge (inactive to active) switches to the secondary sampling rate. A falling edge (active to inactive) switches to the primary sampling rate.

Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because enable signal is low (Alarm Disable).

Process variable goes below trip (hysteresis) point therefore alarm is de-activated.

Alarm Enable signal is switched On. Alarm delay timer is started.

Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because alarm delay time has not expired.

Alarm delay timer expires, alarm is now enabled. Alarm is activated because process variable is above trip point.

Process variable goes above trip point, alarm is activated (alarm is enabled and delay time has expired).

Alarm Enable signal is switched Off. Alarm is disabled immediately. Alarm de-activates.

Multipoint Videographic Recorder 6 Configuration

Note. The Alarm Configuration tabs are displayed only if 'Source ID' for the Recording Channel is set to an analog signal source – see Section 6.6.1, page 87.

Set the alarm type:

High/Low process – see Fig. 6.14, page 93

High/Low latch – see Fig. 6.15, page 93

High/Low annunciate – see Fig. 6.16, page 94

Fast/Slow rate – see Fig. 6.17, page 94

Delayed high/low process – see Fig. 6.18, page 95

Enter an Alarm Tag to identify the alarm when it is displayed in the Chart, Process and Alarm Event views (20 characters max.).

Set the value, in engineering units, at which the alarm is to activate.

Note. Process, Delayed process, Latch and Annunciate alarms only.

Set the hysteresis value, in engineering units.

Note. Process, Delayed process, Latch and Annunciate alarms only.

Set the time hysteresis value, in seconds. When an alarm trip value is exceeded, the alarm does not become active until the time hysteresis value has expired. If the signal goes out of the alarm condition before the time hysteresis has expired, the hysteresis value is reset.

Note. Process, Latch and Annunciate alarms only.

Set the period of time for which to delay alarm activation after the enable signal is switched on. Once the delay time has expired, the alarm operates in the same way as a standard process alarm.

Note. Delayed process alarms only.

Set the minimum or maximum amount of deviation allowed within the alarm 'Period' (see below) before the alarm is activated.

Note. Rate alarms only – see Fig. 6.17, page 94.

Set the time period over which the deviation is measured. For fast rate alarms, the alarm becomes active if the value changes by more than the deviation value within the alarm period. For slow rate alarms, the alarm becomes active if the channel value changes by less than the deviation within the alarm period.

Note.

 Rate alarms only – see Fig. 6.17, page 94.

 A rate alarm remains active until the rate has been within

limits for at least one complete 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.

Note. Rate alarms only – see Fig. 6.17, page 94.

Select an alarm Enable source. When the 'Enable source' is active, the alarm is enabled. When the source is inactive the alarm is disabled. If set to 'None' the alarm is always enabled.

Note. For Delayed Process alarm operation, see Fig. 6.18, page 95.

Set to 'On' to record all changes in the alarm state in the Alarm event log – see Section 4.8, page 34.

Assign the alarm to one or more of 12 groups. The alarm states assigned to each group are 'ORed' together to create an internal digital signal that may be assigned to relays, digital outputs or internal digital controls.

6.6.5 Totalizer Configuration

Note.

 Current totalizer values are displayed in the Circular Chart, Digital Indicator and Process Views – see Sections 4.3, 4.5 and

4.6 (Operation), and Sections 6.5.2, 6.5.5 and 6.5.4 (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 and scaled 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:

Last – On power recovery, the totalizer continues in the

same state as before the failure, i.e. stopped or running.

Stop – Totalizer stops counting.

Go – Totalizer starts counting from the last recorded value.

Select a signal source to stop and start the totalizer. Refer to Appendix A on page 129 for a description of the available sources.

Note. This signal is edge-triggered. A rising edge (inactive to active) starts the totalizer. A falling edge (active to inactive) stops the totalizer.
