EVENT LOGGING FEATURES
3.1 BASIC FRONT PANEL FAULT EVENT DISPLAY
The Signal Monitor retains three fault events in nonvolatile memory that can be reviewed
via the front panel display. The contents of the log and the procedure for review is
described in Section 2.18.
3.2 STATUS AND EVENT REPORTING
The model 2018KCL uses the EIA-232 port to communicate status to a Controller Unit
operational software and event data logs to a Personal Computer (PC). The model
2018KCLip uses an Ethernet port to communicate status to a Controller Unit operational
software and event data logs to a Personal Computer (PC).
3.2.1 BI TRAN SYSTEMS 233 PROGRAM MONITOR STATUS
The 2018KCL status message format and time/date message format is compatible with BI
Tran Systems Model 223 Software when used with channels 1 through 16 only. On request
from the operational software, the model 2018KCL provides the current field status if no
fault has triggered the monitor. If the monitor is in the fault mode, the current fault status
and field input status at the time of the fault is reported. The operational software will also
periodically synchronize the model 2018KCL time clock. The BI Tran Systems Model 223
Software manual should be consulted for details of operation.
3.2.2 EDI ECCOM MONITOR REPORT
The EDI
ECcom
software package (Version 3.6.4 or greater is required) interfaces a
Computer to the model 2018KCL. The
ECcom
program will display the Status (S), Previous
Fault (PF) event log, AC Line (AC) event log, Manual Reset (MR) event log, Configuration
(CF) event log, and Fault Trace log. All events are time stamped with the time and date of
the event. Operation of the
ECcom
software package is described in "
EDI ECcom
Software Operations Manual
" and will not be covered in this manual. The following data
is available:
General Data
a) Monitor ID#: an eight digit (0-99999999) ID number may be assigned
to the monitor.
b) Time and Date: each event is marked with the time and date of
occurrence.
c) Event Number: identifies the record number in the log. Event #1 is the
most recent event.
Current Status (S)
a) Fault Type: the fault type description.
b) Field Status: the current or latched GYR field status and RMS
voltages.
c) Cabinet Temperature: the current or latched temperature if the
monitor.
d) AC Line Voltage: the current or latched AC Line voltage.
e) Control Input Status: the current or latched state and RMS voltages of
the Red Enable input, EE input, Special Function #1 and #2
inputs, and the WDT monitor.
Previous Fault (PF) Event Log (25)
a) Fault Type: the fault type description.
b) Field Status: the latched field status, RMS voltages, and fault channel
status at the time of the fault.
