Data Logs
Data logs record instrumentation values being collected, set as per your connected I/O.
The various events recorded to CompactFlash are explained below. They are available for
viewing, downloading, or transferred via FTP synchronization.
Log files can have a user configured timestamp, I/O value, and tag name.
See
Data Log Configuration
on page 30 for details on creating and deleting logs.
Alarms
The Alarms page allows modification of the I/O alarm trigger points.
After entering the appropriate alarm values (HI HI, HI, LO, and LO LO), click Apply to store
the new information.
Reset will clear the current typed values and will return to last saved values (will not
reset to factory defaults.)
When an alarm trigger point is set and activated, the Overview screen will show alarm
conditions using colors. If the functionality is set up, the alarm trigger point can result in
an email or SMS alarm message being sent to someone on the contact list.
As well, alarms can also be logged and can be sent via FTP synchronization to a central
server. They can be sent using the RD500 built-in FTP client server (contact your FTP
server administrator for necessary access information).
Note:
After factory reset, the event log will be erased and some data log files may
be overwritten. Be sure to backup your data log files before any factory reset.
