Writing to External Memory Devices

Different types of numeric and text data from the C-more touch panel can be stored on an SD card or a USB memory device. Numeric data from Line Trend Graph and PID Faceplate Trend Graph objects may be stored. Text data from Lookup Text and Multi-state Text objects can also be stored.

Up to 16 objects may be configured in the C-more programming software to log data. Along with the 16 object limit, available storage on the external memory device is subject to the memory capacity of the SD card or USB memory device. One log file is created in a 24 hour period for each object. Additionally logging data is initially stored in the buffer in the panel MRAM and data is written to the external memory device:

• when 2kB of data is cached,

• when 20 records have been stored,

• periodically, once every 1 minute,

• when one of the “SYS Copy LogTo %device%” or “SYS %device% Eject” tags is turned on.

• when there is an email or FTP action

• when the System Screen is called

• when the panel date is changed

Memory Device Formatting

Memory Devices should be formatted according to the following guidelines to insure best performance and integrity of logged data.

Minimizing Data Errors

To minimize data errors when logging data to external memory, consider the following:

• Do not turn off power to the C-more touch panel while the external memory device is being accessed. The optional EA-AC power adapter is designed to protect external memory devices from damage during power failure.

• Do not remove any external memory device with the device is being accessed by the

The following internal tags should be used to monitor, access and safely remove external memory devices:

SYS SD1 WriteStatus SYS SD2 WriteStatus SYS USB WriteStatus SYS Copy LogToSD1 SYS Copy LogToSD2 SYS Copy LogToUSB SYS SD1 Eject SYS SD2 Eject SYS USB Eject SYS SD1 ReadyToUse SYS SD2 ReadyToUse SYS USB ReadyToUse

• Be sure to backup the memory device at regular intervals.

• If you suspect the memory device is bad, you may want to use a PC to re-format the device, or use a known good memory device.

• The number of times the memory device can be written to is limited. Consequently, logging frequently will may shorten the service life of the memory device. Using slower sample rates will increase the life of the device.

File Name Limitations

There is a limit of 999 file names with the same first four characters. Internal file names are restricted by the DOS 8-character-dot-3-character limit. Therefore trend log files are identified internally by the first four characters of the object name plus tilde plus a three digit number.

Examples are: TREND GRAPH EAST CHILLER TEMP_130925.txt is saved internally as TREN~001.txt

TREND GRAPH WEST CHILLER TEMP_130925.txt is saved internally as TREN~002.txt As new log files are created in each 24 hour period, these files count against the maximum of

999 files. If multiple graph objects appear on one screen, the files will be identified internally by the first Two Characters of the screen name plus the first Two Characters of the object name plus tilde plus three digit number.

To maximize storage capabilities on external memory devices use screen names that have unique characters in the first four digits and object names that are unique in the first two characters.

NOTE: When the 999 filename limit is reached, the oldest files will automatically be deleted and logging will continue.

Power Loss Retention

When a power loss is detected, the panel will attempt to complete all data logging operations safely.

The power retention while using a DC power is not long enough to complete writes to an SD Card or USB device. An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) should be considered.

Power Loss Detection (at 25°C)

Chemical Compatibility

The C-more touch panels comprise three different materials that may be exposed to outside elements: a gasket, a screen sheet and a bezel.

• Gasket material is silicone.

• Screen sheets are PET.

• Panel bezels are ABS plastic.

NOTE: Products with CE marks perform their required functions safely and adhere to relevant standards as specified by CE directives provided they are used according to their intended purpose and that the instructions in this manual are adhered to. The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if this equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual. A listing of our international affiliates is available on our Web site: http://www. automationdirect.com

WARNING: Providing a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment is your responsibility and should be your primary goal during system planning and installation. Automation systems can fail and may result in situations that can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Do not rely on the automation system alone to provide a safe operating environment. You should use external electromechanical devices, such as relays or limit switches, that are independent of the PLC application to provide protection for any part of the system that may cause personal injury or damage. Every automation application is different, so there may be special requirements for your particular application. Make sure you follow all national, state, and local government requirements for the proper installation and use of your equipment.

Plan for Safety

The best way to provide a safe operating environment is to make personnel and equipment safety part of the planning process. You should examine every aspect of the system to determine which areas are critical to operator or machine safety. If you are not familiar with control system installation practices, or your company does not have established installation guidelines, you should obtain additional information from the following sources.

• NEMA — The National Electrical Manufacturers Association, located in Washington, D.C. publishes many different documents that discuss standards for industrial control systems. You can order these publications directly from NEMA. Some of these include:

ICS 1, General Standards for Industrial Control and Systems ICS 3, Industrial Systems ICS 6, Enclosures for Industrial Control Systems

• NEC — The National Electrical Code provides regulations concerning the installation and use of various types of electrical equipment. Copies of the NEC Handbook can often be obtained from your local electrical equipment distributor or your local library.

• Local and State Agencies — many local governments and state governments have additional requirements above and beyond those described in the NEC Handbook. Check with your local Electrical Inspector or Fire Marshall office for information.

Introduction

Chapter 4 - Installation and Wiring

The installation and wiring of the C-more® touch panels requires selecting an appropriate location for the touch panel, laying out the cutout dimensions on the surface of the control cabinet that the panel will be mounted through, securing the touch panel with the provided mounting clips, tightening the screws to the appropriate torque rating to assure the gasket is sealing correctly, and finally connecting the appropriate power source to the touch panel.

NOTE: Each C-more touch panel is provided with a cutout template to make marking the proper cutout size on the surface of the control cabinet that the panel will be mounted through a simple task.

This chapter covers the proper mounting of the touch panel and connecting power. Once power is applied to the touch panel, the user will want to read Chapter 5 on the System Setup Screens in order to set the internal time and date for the panel, become familiar with the touch panel test features, and check memory options.
