Logging

FDC MCT-MC
For example, if FTP or FileWeb is used and the “root” path at the server is “Files” and the MC files will be
transferred to this directory, the “Sever” field will contain the text “Files”. If there is a directory inside of the
server root “Files” directory named “unit1775” and the files will transferred to this directory, the “Server field will
contain the text “Files/unit1775”. The FTP/FileWeb operations will error and transfer will not be completed if
the “Server” field is not entered properly or does not match the FTP/FileWeb server configuration.
When the
Automatic Transfer (2:00AM)
option is turned on, the MC will perform an automatic backup of all
historical data files, alarm files and audit trail files contained in its internal memory to the designated
FTP/FileWeb site. Note that if data logging is currently active, the active file will not be copied. When the
DataWeb
interface is used, real time data is transferred to a database rather than transferring actual files so
this option is not used and is disabled.
When the
Delete internal files when done
option is turned on, the MC will delete all data log files, alarm files
and audit trail files within its memory after completing the backup to the FTP site. Note that if data logging is
currently active, the active file will not be deleted. When the DataWeb interface is used, real time data is
transferred to a database rather than transferring actual files so this option is not used and is disabled.
Once all settings have been made, press the “Save” button to save the settings so that on the next power-up,
the entries will be maintained. The “Start” button can be used at any time to perform a manual data backup
using FTP or FileWeb interfaces. If the files already exist on the FTP/FileWeb site, they will be overwritten on
each subsequent backup. If the FTP/FileWeb site is down, or the MC is not connected to the network, a local
alarm message on the Alarm screen will indicate a transmission failure.
NOTE:
Typically FTP/FileWeb Server connections use case sensitive alpha-numeric characters for the User
name, Password and Server directory. Contact your network administrator for proper settings.
8.5.1 More About FTP, FileWeb and DataWeb Interfaces
FTP servers (File Transfer Protocol) have been around for many years and can be installed on local or network
machines. The FTP server allows a client (MC) to transfer files from a local device to the FTP server once
installed. This allows for manual and automatic backup of data from the MC device.
MC Field Setup
FTP Server Setup
Type = FTP
FTP server setup for passive operation (see Appendix section
A.2 FTP, FileWeb, DataWeb Requirements/Installation for
additional information).
IP Add = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Actual IP address of FTP server
User = userName
Actual user name for login if authentication used.
Password = userPassword
Actual password for login if authentication used.
Server = myFTP
FTP server setup with a root directory named “myFTP”. The
FTP server directory path must exist and match the MC setup
for proper operation. If there is an additional directory within
the “myFTP” root directory, its name would be appended to the
path. (i.e. myFTP/Files if a “Files” directory inside the myFTP
server root directory is the target for transfer).
Port = 21
Port used at MC and open at FTP server.
NOTE:
Make sure proper permissions are set at the FTP server for access/creation of directories and
read/write access. Also check root directory structure at Server to identify the actual root that was
created for the files since there can be additional layers created by the server and displayed in the path.
