Definition of Terms
Shown below are terms related to EQ100.
Term
Description
Measured Value
A measured value itself. One that is not handled as data by a
collecting device or a computer yet.
Integrated Value
A measured value that is integrated, such as electric energy and
gas flow rate.
Instantaneous Value
A measured value that is not integrated, as such as temperature
and humidity.
Measured Data
Data that is collected and saved by a measurement device or
software (EQ-ServerService).
Energy Data
Data that can be converted into energy value, such as electric
energy. It applies to some measured data that can be integrated.
Data Type
A category of data that defines a unit of data, summary method, or
discrimination of integral and instantaneous values.
Summary
To summarize data based on a time unit defined as a summary
interval. For an integrated value, the sum is used. For an
instantaneous value, either of an average, maximum, or minimum
value is used as a representative value.
Summary Data
Data summarized by a summary process.
Summary Interval
A unit of time to view a graph of the summarized data.
Channel
An item of data to collect from a measurement device or a collecting
device. EQ100 has following two channels:
- Measurement Channel
- Operation Channel
Measurement Channel
A channel that is measured and collected by a measurement
device. Included are electric energy, pulse, temperature, and
foreign object amount.
Operation Channel
A channel created through operation of the measurement channel
inside EQ100. There are two types of channels based on a
difference of operation; a free operation channel and a basic unit
operation channel.
Channel Group
A grouping to manage channels together in a production line, on a
floor, and/or a building.
Device
Either of a measurement device or a collecting device that has a
channel. A connection device is not included.
Measurement Device
Measurement devices include a sensor that measures a physical
value such as electric energy, temperature, and humidity, and that
and sends the measured value, as well as a device that keeps
measured data from a sensor connected to the device and that
provides the data for EQ100 (e.g. PLC and ZN-KMX21), having a
measurement channel.
Connection Device
A device that does not have a measurement channel and that relays
and provides measured data from a measurement device connected
to the connection device for thEQ100 (e.g. WZ-MLAN01).
Collecting Device
A device that collects, stores, and sends data from a measurement
device to the upper level system. It applies to EQ100.
Control Value
A threshold value to manage a range of values for each channel,
defined as an upper and/or lower limit. When a value is out of the
control value, the monitoring alarm detects and reports it.
