Introduction

SCADA System by ANSI(American National Standards Institute)/

IEEE(Institutes of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Std C37.1-1987

-An alarm function of the monitoring system that performs

predefined operations based on the alarm status of a remote
device

-A monitoring/control function that operates the external

remote device manually/automatically or in combination of
manual and automatic operations

-An indicator[display] function of the monitoring system that

receives, display and records the information on remote device
status

-An accumulation function that displays and records the

information on digital pulse through reception and summation

-A function to recognize the predefined events and to provide

the data on generated events

Alarm settings are available only for analog and digital tags in the InfoU and alarms are processed only
when the relevant tag value is normal.
Alarms for analog tags can be divided into the border alarm, change alarm and gap alarm and then, the

gap alarm and sub gap alarm.
Those three types of alarms for analog tags can be set up simultaneously.

The border alarm is used most among other alarms for analog tags.
The user may set up four border values such as HH, HI, LO and LL for the border alarm when tag engineering. If the
user divides the region corresponding to the tag values horizontally and locates the baseline values to relevant
regions, the relevant alarm occurs when the tag value is in the corresponding region and it is cancelled when the
tag value is out of the region.

Deadband applied

Each border alarm occurs in each corresponding region under the following condition:

* HH Alarm: The tag value is in HH region.

* HI Alarm: The tag value is in HI region
* LO Alarm: The tag value is n LO region
* LL Alarm: The tag value is in LL region

The change alarm occurs when the current tag value is significantly changed from the past tag value by
more than the allowed change value designated to each tag property item.
Similarly, if the change alarm occurs and then, the tag value is changed afterward but it does not reach the
designated value, the alarm is cancelled. This alarm is set to ensure the tag value is not change
significantly.

-There is no upper or lower border. It is only divided into the Main and Sub Gap.

Logging Type

The logging group editor sets up a logging group that the history server will collect during the Runtime and
various logging data are acquired and saved based on the logging group.

Four Type of Logging

(1) Cycle: Tag values are acquired in a certain cycle.

(2) Statics: Statistics data on the designated tag are created periodically.
(3) Accumulation: Statistics data on the accumulation values of the tag in which values have been
accumulated are created periodically
(4) String: String tag values are acquired in a certain cycle.
(5) Event: Tag values are acquired in an event way according to event conditions.
(6) Selective Log: Tag values are acquired periodically according to event conditions.

[HDD capacity calculation method for data collection]

Up to 40 tags can be registered in one logging group and 40 tag values can be saved at the same time
with one saving. Each logging group can save the following amount of data for one time:
·Cycle Logging: 1,048 byte
·Statistics and accumulation: 3,768 byte
·String Logging: 5,768 byte

Needed disc capacity: Data to be saved per time x logging count

Ex) If it is planned to save data every second for one day under cycle logging,
1,048 X (60 X 60 X 24) = 90,547,200 byte (about 86.35 MB)
Ex) If it is planned to save statistics data every hour for one year,
3,768 X (24 X 365) = 33,007,680 byte (about 31.47 MB)
Ex) If it is planned to save string data every minute for one month,
5,768 X (60 X 24 X 31) = 257,483,520 byte (about 245.55 MB)

Cycle

The minimum acquisition cycle is one second so that this cycle is suitable for fast real-time data logging and it
is mainly used for inquiring sequential values from Trend or Report.
The current value (analog) and the current status (digital) can be inquired.

During the runtime, cycle logging groups are acquired and saved on time.

Ex) If the acquisition cycle is set 2 seconds, logging data are saved every 0, 2, 4, , …, seconds.
Acquisition Settings: Select a cycle and unit. The following cycles can be selected for each unit:
Second: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30

Statistics

The minimum acquisition cycle is one second so that this logging group type can automatically calculate and
save various statistics data.
It is used to identify data status for a certain period and mainly used for inquiring statistics status from Report
or Trend. The following data can be inquired.
Analog: current value, min value, min time, max value, max time, average value
Digital: ON count, ON time, change count

During the runtime, statistics logging groups are acquired and saved on time.
Ex) If the acquisition cycle is set 2 seconds, logging data are saved every 0, 2, 4, …, seconds.

Accumulation

Tags that have accumulation property such as power gauge and fuel indicator are registered and the change
amount for a certain period is calculated and saved.
Change amount for every hour, day or month, that is, consumption amount can be inquired without using any
additional scrip or memory tag. The following data can be inquired.
Analog: change amount, current value
Digital: Not supported.

Accumulation statistics data for the accumulation logging group are automatically created every hour, day and
month. The created accumulation logging groups are classified into _HOUR, _DAY and _MONTH.
During the runtime, accumulation logging groups are acquired and saved on time.
Ex) Data are acquired and saved on the hour for hourly logging groups, at 00:00:00 every day for daily
logging groups and at 00:00:00 on the first day of every month for monthly logging groups.

※Only analog tags can be set up as accumulation logging groups.

Event

This logging group type is used for saving tag values according to event conditions. Here, changes in digital tag
values play a role in constructing event conditions and these digital tags are called trigger tags. Event logging
groups save the values of 40 tags that belong to the logging groups according to changes in trigger tags.

Event logging groups are set up as follows:

Trigger Tag: Digital Tag
Logging: Analog, Digital Tag
Storage Method: Saved only one time when any event takes place

Event conditions available to be set up in trigger tags are as follows:

When it is triggered off -> on
