TRACETICK
Tracetick
This parameter sets the time interval for recording operating data to
KCM internal memory so that it can be retrieved and viewed on a PC
for later analysis.
Two types of data are recorded: Trace data e.g. massflow and
operational status. e.g. gravimetric control. The second data type
recorded is Alarm History data.
Selections:
Stop: The trace recording is stopped and the data can be read from
the Configuration serial data port using HyperTerminal. When
<Stop> is selected, the data can be read from the KCM at any time
as long as power to the KCM is not interrupted.
Restarting of the <TRACETICK> can be done without losing data if
done within 1 hour of stopping the trace.
1 sample: Each sample point of data is recorded. No more than five
minutes of data can be stored without older data being over-written.
1/4 second: 4 samples per second of data
1 second: 1 sample per second of data
5 seconds: 1 sample of data very 5 seconds
15 seconds: 1 sample of data very 15 seconds
60 seconds: 1 sample of data very 60 seconds
Default: 1 second
Notes:
• The default value of 1 second will return after a KCM power
interruption. Any other value of <Trace Tick> is not stored during
a power interruption.
• There are 3600 individual samples of data in storage. So for a 1
second timetick, 1 hour of data is preserved. For a 60 second
timetick, 60 hours of data are stored.
• Please see manual 0690020601 for operational details on using
this resource.
