overview

This is a screen library for displaying trend graphs. It has both real-time trend and historical trend functions. The pen settings displayed on the graph can be freely registered and changed by the operator while online. Pen settings can also be grouped, and by registering multiple pens in one group, the display can be easily switched by group. In addition to simple line display, various graph display methods such as bar graphs and triggers (pulse) are available, and flexible display according to purpose is possible, such as displaying digital signals (ON/OFF) in addition to displaying analog data.

explanation

Summary

 

An action for logging and aggregation. It can be specified as a data source for trend graphs.

 

Logger

 

This is an action that allows simple logging. It can be specified as a data source for trend graphs.

Historical data server

 

This action maps time-series log data generated by external systems as a data source. It can be specified as a data source for trend graphs.

 

File server

 

When saving a pen setting file on the server, you can share the file using the File server action, or via a "public folder" defined in Panel-Interface of Panel Server.

If you use the File server action, define the File server action in Panel Server, set the "_PenFilePosition" property to "SERVER", and specify the action name to connect to in "_FileServerName". On the other hand, if you use the public folder function instead of the File server action, there is no need to define the File server action.

 

 

hint

Summary actions, logger actions and Historical data server actions can be used with either CSV or ODBC. Note that it is not necessary to define all of these three actions.
