Caution:

 The daily statistics are always reset immediately after midnight, i.e. at 12:00 am. At the 

same time the values of the just finished day are transferred to the history. When you change the 
date in the controller, the saved history may be irretrievably erased! 

WEEK 

It shows a subset of selected data (temperatures) for the last week in a graphic representation.  

MONTH 

It shows monthly statistics in the current month or optionally for up to 12 months back. The option is specified 
in the relevant drop-down list. It shows selected data from the main control blocks. 

Description of the types of shown values: 

 

Temperature type item – it shows the minimum and maximum temperature in the given month and 
the arithmetic mean for the relevant month. The data is only read if the temperature is valid. 

 

Power type item – it shows the minimum and maximum power (of the pump, etc.) and the arithmetic 
mean for the relevant month. In order to provide more objective information the data is only read if 
the device power is not zero. 

 

Counter type item – it shows the counter signalling the time of switching on or the activity of the given 
device for the relevant month. 

Note

: The current day will be shown in the year history (current month) only after it has been saved in the 

history (after midnight). 

YEAR 

It shows a subset of selected data (temperatures) for the last 12 months in a graphic representation.  

OPTIONS AND BUTTONS 

A description of the buttons follows at the bottom part of the web interface and also of other configuration 
elements: 

 

“Open” – it opens a configuration from the disk. 

 

“Save” – it saves a configuration on the disk. Due to the security restrictions of browsers saving is 
usually permitted only in the folder designated for downloading (“Downloaded Items”, etc.). 

 

“Read” – it reads a configuration from the controller.  

 

“Write” – it writes a configuration in the controller and optionally it resets the controller. The write is 
protected against unauthorized access by authorization.  

 

“Reload” – in the case of a communication failure in some cases it can help reload the connection with 
the controller faster. 

 

“Configuration/object name” – it is used for assigning a name to the building with the installation or 
possibly also to the current configuration. The text can have a maximum of 16 characters in the ASCII 
code. 

TIME SCHEDULES DIALOG 

This dialog is available in various control blocks and it enables optimizing the management of a specific block 
according to the time, day of the week, etc. 

Every time schedule is placed on one line in the dialog.
