Logging Data

1.6 Logging Data

1.6.1 Setting Alarm Logging Data

Tutorial: You will monitor three devices and the
conditions are as follows.

Note: By setting this function the HG monitors
devices and keeps the date and time when the
state of each bit changes. When the state of the
bit changes, it is regarded as an alarm. If you
use part objects for this data, you can check
them on the HG screen.

- Data Register (D1000, D1001 and D1002)
will be monitored.

- The HG will monitor these devices every five
seconds.

- When the alarm log storage area becomes
full, the HG will stop storing new data until it
is initialized.

- The number of generated alarms will be
stored in the HG Data Register (LDR1000).
You can check this function if you set Numer­ical Display etc. on the screen.

- The alarm log storage area is initialized when
the selected device turns from 0 to 1.The trig­ger device is HG Internal Relay (LM1000).
You can check this function if you set Bit But­ton etc. on the screen.

- When an alarm occurs, the screen will appear
to check the state of the device. The screen
number is "2000" and the coordinate is "(100,

100)".

- When an alarm occurs, the O/I beeps.

- When an alarm occurs, the date and time for
"D1000" will be stored, but other data won’t
be kept.

- It will be an alarm for some devices (from
"D1000-0" to "D1000-7", D10001 and D1002)
when the bit turns from 0 to 1, but it is also an
alarm for other devices (from "D1000-8" to
D1000-15") when the bit turns from 1 to 0.

- You won’t monitor the bits from D1001-8 to
D1001-15. If you don’t monitor all the bits, an
alarm won’t occur even when an unmoni­tored bit turns on. In addition, other settings

1-25

won’t work - if you select data to be stored
(the date and time), open the screen and
show text or the screen on the part object
because the bits are not being monitored.

Select [Setup] [Alarm Log Settings] from the
menu.

Select a [Storage Method]. In this case, select
"Fixed" because you won’t store new data
when the alarm log storage area becomes full.
