IYour controller TC505 is fitted with a data and error
log. All data and errors of the entire firing are
recorded continuously by the TC505. Such features
have not been known on this type of controller until
now! Don´t waste time watching a firing to discover
an error (and of course miss the most important
moment anyway !)
The data log records all important process values (kiln
temperature(s), setpoint, control outputs, times) once a
minute. The data log holds the last 36 hours which
can be inspected by the user. The recording takes
place automatically in the background (no matter
whether a firing is started or not). After turning off the
controller all data is lost.
The error log records values only if certain errors
happen (for instance all errors decribed in Appendix
A). The last 50 errors are recorded (including all
details (temperatures etc.) like in the data log). This
allows quick and efficient error tracking and trouble
shooting. The error log is permanent so it is not lost
when turning off the controller.
Data log as well as error log record the same set of
process data. These are the actual kiln temperature
and kiln heating (on multizone kilns from all zones),
the setpoint temperature, remaining time in segment,
segment number, status of the control outputs as well
as process information.
If your controller is fitted with the optional real time
clock the date / time when the data or error took place
is also recorded. This allows finding the error of
interest quickly and enables efficient reconstruction of
the problem.
