Chapter6 RECIPE

6-1. Function

The Recipe function is usually used for production line when a lot of types of products have to be
produced according to different setting value. Recipe brings the setting value which was already saved
in file and downloads it to PLC. For example, there is company which makes many kinds of animal
foods such as dog, chicken, pig, cat and etc. In this case, each setting values for each animal foods have
different. Then it will be easy for production if all different setting values, according to types of animal,
are saved in file and you bring that data to set another production after each production is finished.

Here is the Recipe Editor at the below.

Model Name : Write the model name of Recipe

Save In : Select path where Recipe data will be saved. Click the […] to select path or write
the path directly.
Security Level : This function is used to give authority to use recipe function by security level.
Security level is classified from 1 to 100. Level 1 is the highest level.

Chapter 7 Alarms
In case the value of a specific tag is over a set value, an alarm is used to inform the event. To use this
function, a tag should be set up as an alarm tag among optional functions when it is registered to a
database. The tags to which an alarm can be assigned are ‘Analog tag’ and ‘Digital tag’. Alarms are
divided into ‘Analog alarm’ and ‘Digital alarm’ according to a corresponding tag. There are boundary
value, ROC and deviation value in analog alarm, and there are ON alarm, OFF alarm, OFF→ON, ON→
OFF and OFF←→ON alarm in digital alarm.

In the CIMON-SCADA, alarm processing is prior to other system works, and the alarm having occurred
is displayed on an alarm summary window or printed out by zones, types and priority or occurring
time order. Even you do not see the window, the CIMON-SCADA applies alarm sound for informing
alarm status fast.

7-1. Types of Alarm

Analog Alarm

The following alarm types can be used as analog alarms, and hysteresis can be applied to all alarms.
The Hysteresis is used to prevent the output of alarm ON/OFF whenever the value measured around
a boundary value varies small.

Boundary Value Alarm

4 types of this alarm occur by comparing the current value of an analog tag to the
previous alarm status on the basis of a boundary value. The types are HiHi, Hi, Lo
and LoLo alarm. The alarms occur by a set boundary value for each alarm. The
occurring examples are as follows.

● Hi-Hi : This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is more than a Hi-Hi set value.
● Hi : This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is more than a Hi set value.
● Lo : This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is less than a Lo set value.
● Lo-Lo : This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is less than a Lo-Lo set value.

Deviation Value Alarm

This alarm occurs by deciding whether a current tag is within an assigned range.
According to the variation of a value, a minor deviation alarm or a major deviation
alarm occurs. Release from an occurring alarm and variation to other alarm is
decided by applying a set hysteresis value.

 Minor Deviation Alarm: This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is slightly
outside the range of a set value.
 Major Deviation Alarm: This is the alarm occurring in case a measured value is much outside
the range of a set value.

 SCADA USER MANUAL
ROC Alarm
This is the alarm occurring in case that the varying range of a measured value is
bigger than a set variation value. An occurring alarm is displayed as one between
acknowledged status and non-acknowledged status. The non-acknowledged
status is to display that an alarm occurs but a user does not acknowledge it. The
acknowledged status is to display that a user acknowledge an occurring event
through the mouse/touch or the keyboard. These statuses can be distinguished
easily by color.

[NOTICE ]
Hysteresis is used to prevent the output of alarm ON/OFF whenever the value measured around a
boundary value varies small. An alarm occurs in case that a measured value is bigger than the value,
which is to add a hysteresis value to a boundary value. An alarm is released in case that a measured
value is less than the value, which is to subtract a hysteresis value from a boundary value

In the above picture, the tag value is varied from the range of the Hi alarm to the range of the normal
status. But, as the status is varied outside the range of the hysteresis, the Hi alarm is released.

Digital Alarm

A digital alarm occurs according to previous status and current status. There are 5 types of digital tag
such as ON alarm, OFF alarm, OFF→ON, ON→OFF, ON↔OFF.

ON Alarm In case that a corresponding contact point is detected as ON status without relation
to the previous status, an alarm occurs. In case that the current value of a tag is 1,
an alarm will occur. If the value is varied to 0 again, the alarm will be released.

Alarm occurs

OFF Alarm In case a corresponding contact point is detected as OFF status without relation to
the previous status, an alarm occurs. In case that the current value of a tag is 0, an
alarm will occur. If the value is varied to 1 again, the alarm will be released.

Alarm occurs

Chapter 11 Data Logging

This function is used to save the tag value for logging in file type. The tags for logging are analog and
digital tag. Only the tags selected for data logging when tags are registered to a database are available.
For logging tag values, a data-logging model should be set up and be registered to a project. According
to selected model, the data of a corresponding tag are logged and saved in file type. The logged tag
data is used as the data for a trend.

Features

◆ The function to save a logged data in file is provided.

◆ Data are logged according to regular interval or in case that a value is changed.

◆ Files that are classified according to file size and logging term are saved.

◆ Back-up function, which is used to save logged data file to other location automatically, is
provided.

◆ A specific data saved in a file can be read through Script language.

◆ Logged data can be displayed on a trend window through Historical Trend.

directory. Otherwise, it will be saved in a default folder. The default folder is the
logging model name folder under a project folder.
(Saved as Project\Data Logging Model\YYYYMMDD.cld file type
YYYY : Year, MM : Month, DD : Date)

Browse This is used to assign the folder where a data logging file will be saved by using the
‘Data Logging’ dialog box.

Print In case you assign this item, a registered tag value is outputted with a printer at
data-logging intervals. Select a printer among the printers registered to a system.

Create File This is used to assign how to create a new file.

▶ To create a file at regular intervals

① Daily : Everyday
② Weekly : Every week
③ Monthly : Every month

▶ To create a file by capacity

① File size: This is used to assign the size of a file. If the size of a file is bigger
than an assigned one, the data will be saved as other one and will be
logged. Min. is 1 KB, Max. is 10000 KB.

② Max. No of File: This is used to assign the max. number of the files saved.
(2 – 1000) For example, if you select the Daily and enter 7 as the Max. Pcs

How to calculate the capacity of HDD for data logging
(In case of data logging at regular intervals, a data is 16 BYTE and in case of data logging at intervals
of a minute, it is 4 BYTE.)

Necessary HDD Capacity = a data x No. of daily loggings x No. of storing days x No. of tags

[Ex.1] How much HDD is required to store 100 tags at intervals of 10 secs for 30 days?
16 x (6 x 60 x 24) x 30 x 100 = About 396 MByte

237
 SCADA USER MANUAL
[Ex.2] How much HDD is required to store 100 tags at intervals of 1 min for a year?
4 x (60 x 24) x 365 x 100 = About 201 MByte

[Reference2]
Note to make a data-logging model and register a tag (How to search logged data fast)
1. Too many tags should be not registered to a logging model. It is proper to register around 20
tags.
2. The tag registered to a same trend graph should be registered to a same group.

11.2 Converting a Data Logging File

Let’s study how to convert a data-logging file to a Text file or deliver it to Excel.
As the data-logging file logged from the CIMON by defining a data logging model (yyyymmdd.cld file)
is saved in binary, users can not read.
Accordingly, to convert the logged data file to a text file, two functions are provided in the CIMON as
follows.

LogFileConvert(“Cld File Name”, “Text File Name”)

LogFileDialog()

The folder where a file is saved and the file name for Function LogFileConvert should be assigned in
the function that converts File Cld in an assigned folder to Text file.
Ex)LogFileConvert(“C:\ProgramFiles\CIMON50\MyProj\RegularInterval
10\19981027.cld”,“C:\19981027.txt”)

To use Function LogFileDialog(), let’s make the button called ‘View Data’ first.
 If you click a desired location on a page after you click the ‘User Button’ in the ‘Draw’ menu of
the CimonD, a ‘Button Configuration’ dialog box will appear as follows.

238
 SCADA USER MANUAL

 After you enter ‘View Data’ as the title, press the ‘Next>>’ button.
 Enter the Command of the Action as follows.
LogFileDialog()

239

12-7 Outputting a Report by Using a Script

The report of special type, not general type, can be outputted if you use a script. An example will
explain how to output a report.

[Example to make the report outputting tag values at intervals of 5 min. every hour]
This is an example to acquire the value of a real tag at intervals of 5 min., to store it in a virtual tag at
intervals of 5 min. and to output a report every hour. The Others as Report Type is used. And a script
is used to acquire a value at intervals of 5 min.

1. Make a report form as follows.

Select the menu to save a form file as the following name.

C:\Form\From.xls

2. Select the Virtual Tag in an Edit Tag dialog box to register the virtual tag in which the value acquired
at intervals of 5 min. is saved.

Let’s assume that the real tags outputted are PLC.TAG01 and PLC.TAG02. And the tag saving the

262
 SCADA USER MANUAL
value acquired at intervals of 5 min. for each tag is registered as follows.

The RPT5.PAGE is used to print the outputted time and Tag RPT5.PRINTOUT is used for the Output
Condition of the report

Use the Add Tag in a Database Manager to register Group Tag MIN05, MIN10, …, MIN55 under
Group Tag RPT5 MIN00 and Tag TAG01, TAG02 under each the group tag.
That is, the value of Real Tag PLC.TAG01 at intervals of 15 min. is saved in RPT5.MIN15.TAG01.

263

Chapter 15 Network
The CIMON equips two types of its own network protocol, which are the CIMON-CSNet used to
configure Client-Server & redundancy and the CIMON-Net for data link with other systems. The
CIMON-CSNet is the protocol for Ethernet (TCP/IP), and the CIMON-CSNet is the one for Ethernet and
RS232/485. Here, the system for the above two networks are configured, including the setup for line
redundancy and server redundancy.
The following system configuration is the example that the CIMON is configured with FEPs, Servers and
Clients. This is the case that the FEP and the Server as well as the Communication line are redundant.

In this case, the CIMON-CSNet is used for the communication between a Server and a Client and the
CIMON-Enet is used for the communication between a Server and a FEP. But, the CIMON-CSNet is used
for the communication between redundant FEPs.

304
 SCADA USER MANUAL
The following system configuration is the example using the CIMON-ENet. In this diagram, Client #1
CIMON considers Lower-Level Server #1/#2 CIMON as a lower-level I/O Device and takes the data of
the two Servers. Also, Server #1 and #2 CIMON are set up as the CIMON-ENet Server (FEP) to send
each data to the high-level CIMON Client #1.
Client (CIMON)

In the above diagram, in case that Sever #1 CIMON is the CIMON-ENet Client and the Server for Server
#2 CIMON without Client #1 CIMON, the exchange of the data (Peer-To-Peer) between Server #1 and
#2 CIMON is available.
The following system configuration is the example that the two CIMONs located at a long distance are
linked by the CIMON-CNet. In the same manner as the ENet, one CIMON can be acted as a Server or a
Client. And as the CIMON acts both functions, it is available to link in the Peer-To-Peer, too.

If you select the ‘Network’ in the ‘Tools’ menu of the CimonD, a ‘Network Configuration’ will appear
as follows. Four setup pages and the list of registered nodes are displayed in this dialog box.

Node setup

To register or edit the node linked, use the ‘New Node’, the ‘Edit’ and the ‘Delete’ button.

New Node If you select this button, the following ‘Node Setup’ dialog box will appear. If you
assign the Node Name and each IP Address here and press the ‘Ok’ button, the
contents registered in the list box will be displayed. But, the ‘Secondary IP Address’
can be entered in case of Line Redundancy. The Node Name should be set up to be
same in all Nodes.

306
 SCADA USER MANUAL

Edit If you press the ‘Edit’ button after you select a node name in a list box or double-
click it, the previously explained ‘Node Setup’ dialog box will appear again to revise
the previously edited contents.

Delete If you select the node deleted among the nodes registered in the list box and press
the ‘Delete’ button, the node will be deleted.

- Features of Node

This page is used to set up the role of the CIMON and the major features in a whole network
configuration.

Function
According to the role of Node, the CIMON is classified into 4 types. Select one among them.
 Stand-Alone
This node is the one to manage by itself the real-time database necessary for
system operation, HMI window and all the data related to other functions. As
the system configuration of general type I/O Device such as other CIMON-
SCADA, PLC and etc are placed at low-level, and diverse data are provided to
high-level system through the CIMON-Net. FEP function can be run.
 Primary Server
This node is the one to include all the functions of Stand-Alone Node, and to
provide a real-time database under its management with a CIMON-SCADA
(Client) system.
 Secondary Server
This node is the one to keep the setup contents and database as same as a

307
 SCADA USER MANUAL
primary server node, and to substitute the functions in case of malfunction in a
primary server. Accordingly, all the functions and specifications correspond to
the primary server node.
 Client
This node has not its real-time database. It executes SCADA and other functions
by using the database that a server node provides. Accordingly, a lower-level
I/O Device cannot be linked, but it is available to link with the high-level by using
the CIMON-Net.

Server Redundancy
This is used to check in case of server redundancy. In case of a secondary server, this item is
automatically checked. In case of stand-alone, it cannot be selected.

Line Redundancy
In case of redundancy between a server and a client, or line redundancy between redundancy servers,
this is used to check this item. If this item is selected, you should assign a Secondary IP Address in
other page. In case of stand-alone, you are not able to select.

FEP (CIMON-Net Server)

This is used to assign whether tag data are delivered to other system through the CIMON-Net. You are
able to get the information about the tag of this node from the other systems linked by using Ethernet
or RS232C (MODEM). (Other systems correspond to all systems to understand the CIMON-Net protocol
including the CIMON-SCADA.)
If you select this item, you should assign a network type (Ethernet/RS232C).

308
 SCADA USER MANUAL
- Local Setup

This is used to set up the parameter for communication between a node and a client (or Server) node.

Primary IP Address This is used to enter the primary IP address of a system.

Secondary IP Address This is used to set up in case of line redundancy. Assign the IP address
used in case that a primary IP address cannot be used. (The case that
two Ethernet cards are installed in PC)

Port Number linked to Client (In case a node is set up as Primary/Secondary Server)
Port Number at Server linked (In case a node is set up as Client)
Assign the socket port number used for TCP/IP communication between
a server and a client in the value from 0 to 99. Generally, it is not
necessary to change the default value. In case of malfunction in
communication, change this value. But the port number assigned to the
server and the client should be same.

309
 SCADA USER MANUAL

Time Out The time assigned in this is a rule that a client decides whether there is malfunction
in a server. A client decides that there is malfunction in a server, in case of no
response from the server for an assigned time. If a server is in redundancy, a client
will try to link to other server of backup status.

- FEP

In case that a node is used as FEP, this is used to assign the network type linked to the high-level and
to set up the communication parameter necessary for an assigned network. In case that ‘FEP (CIMON-
Net Server)’ is checked in the ‘Features of Node’, it becomes the status that you are able to edit. In
this case, you should assign a network at least between the ENET and the CNET.

ENET (TCP/IP) If you select the ENET (TCP/IP) and press the ‘COM Port…’ button, the following
‘CIMON-Net (TCP/IP)’ dialog box will appear. Here, assign the parameters for the
Ethernet communication, of which contents conform to the Client of the CIMON-
Net.

310
 SCADA USER MANUAL

If the Client of the CIMON-Net is another CIMON, the node will be the lower-level
I/O Device of a concept like a PLC. Accordingly, if the CIMON is the Client of the
CIMON-Net, the communication with the node will be set up through the I/O
Device Setup. Refer to the ‘CIMON-ENet I/O Device’ in I/O Device Manual for the
details.

CNET If you select the CNET (RS232C/MODEM) and press the ‘COM Port…’
(RS232C/MODEM) button, the following ‘CNET Server’ dialog box will appear.
Here, assign the parameters for the communication, of which contents conform to
the Client of the CIMON-Net.

311
 SCADA USER MANUAL
If the Client of the CIMON-Net is another CIMON-SCADA, the node will be the
lower-level I/O Device of a concept like a PLC. . Accordingly, if the CIMON-SCADA is
the Client of the CIMON-Net, the communication with the node will be set up
through the I/O Device Setup. Refer to the ‘CIMON-CNet I/O Device’ in I/O Device
Manual for the details.
The Page ‘COM Port…’ in the ‘CNET Sever’ dialog box is used to set up the following
items.
 COM Port: COM1 ~ COM32
 Baud Rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200
 Check-Sum: This is assigned to check the communication error.
 Parity: None, Even, Odd
 Data Bit: 7bits, 8 Bits
 Stop Bit: 1bit, 2 bits
Select 8 bits as the Data Bit if possible. In case of 7 bits, the transfer rate will be
promoted a little bit, but an error will occur when sending/receiving the data.

The CNET supports to send and receive data at a long distance through a Modem. In
this case, it is necessary to set up the Page ‘Modem’ in the ‘CNET Sever’ dialog box
as follows.

312
 SCADA USER MANUAL
Check the ‘Use Modem’, and assign the Modem Initialization if necessary. The
Number of Response Ring is used to assign the number of the calls that the CIMON-
SCADA will receive automatically.

- Sever/Redundancy

If a node is set up as the ‘Client’, this is used to assign the server linked. And if a node is set up as a
redundant server, this is used to set up the other server and the device used to switch the shared
lower-level device communication line. The following window is the case that a node is set up as the
‘Client’.

Primary Sever In case that a node is set up as the ‘Secondary Server’ or the ‘Client’, assign the
Primary server. The Primary Server is registered to the node linked. If you press the
combo box, you are able to select one of the registered nodes.

313
 SCADA USER MANUAL
Secondary In case a node is set up as the ‘Primary Server’ or the ‘Client’ under Server
Server Redundancy, assign the Secondary Server. The Secondary Server is registered to the
node linked. If you press the combo box, you are able to select one of the registered
nodes.

Use UDP/IP Select this if the UDP/IP is used for the line to monitor the status of a server
Comm. Line additionally in case of Server Redundancy.

Use RS232C Select this if the RS232C is used for the line to monitor the status of a server
Comm. Line additionally in case of Server Redundancy. In this case, assign the COM Port of a
computer.

- Server-Client Configuration
To synchronize a file with server, you make “ServerFile.ini” file in project folder. (Only Client PC needs
this file.)

Chapter 16 Scheduler
This function is used for the case that the method to manage acquired data or the one to control a
system is different by days such as weekday, holiday and day of the week. For example, in case of an
electric system, the CIMON-SCADA gets power consumption from lower level devices. The rate of
power consumption is different by hours and days. Accordingly, the acquired power consumption data
should be classified by the level of the rate and the result be accumulated. The direct management by
using scripts is available to realize that. But it will be easier to use the function of a scheduler.
First edit a scheduler model and then edit a schedule.

16-1. Configuration of Scheduler Window

If you select the ‘Scheduler’ in the Tools menu of the CimonD, the following window will appear.
Various schedules, models and holidays are registered on this window.

316
 SCADA USER MANUAL
First, the four important terms used in this function are as follows.

Schedule This term is the common name of the various day-schedules that a system manages.
There are 3 types such as specific date, holiday and day of the week in a Schedule. If you
select the ‘New Schedule’ in the ‘Edit’ menu, the Edit Schedule dialog box to configure
a schedule type will appear. There is the case that two or more schedules may be
overlapped in the process of a system, and the way to manage this case will be discussed
in the ‘Priority of Schedule’.

Date This is used to assign the date in the form of year, month and day. For
example, it is the form of every year, every month 1st day.
Holiday This is used to set holiday working schedule. The “Holiday Setup” button
is used to assign the national holidays and the festive days registered. If
necessary, they can be changed.
Day This is used to assign weekday as Sunday, Monday… Saturday.
Base All the days that are not registered to the schedules are
Schedule considered as the base schedule.

Model This is a kind of the timetable in which management method is defined. That is, the
definition like “What will be performed from what time to what time” within the range
from 00:00 to 23:59” is assigned. Generally, holiday model and weekday model are
defined as a few base models and a corresponding model is assigned when a schedule is
defined.
But in case of a base schedule, select the ‘Use Base Schedule’ when you define a model
without an additional schedule definition procedure.

Holiday The Holiday is the common name of national holidays and festive days. This function is
provided to remove the inconvenience that all national holidays and festive days are
registered.

Daily Start This is used to set up start time of days. At start time of days, the
Time working model of the day are changed.

317
 SCADA USER MANUAL

16-2. Editing a Holiday

If a new project is created or the file for schedule management (projectname.SCH) is deleted, the new
file for schedule management will be created. New year’s day have been registered to the file as
follows.

NAME DATE REMARKS

New Year’s Day January 1 solar

If you use the ‘Holiday Setup’ button or select the ‘Holiday Setup’ in the ‘Edit’ menu to change the
contents, the following dialog box will appear.

318
 SCADA USER MANUAL
If you click Add, please dialog box will appear.

Name This is used to assign the name of the holiday edited. But, the name should not be as
same as the name of other registered holidays.

YY This is used to assign the year for a holiday. The ‘Every’ or up to ‘2037’ can be assigned.
But, The holiday should not be as same as the date of other registered holidays and be
the future than the year when this is set up.

MM This is used to assign the month for a holiday. The ‘Every’ or the one from January to
December can be assigned.

DD This is used to assign the date for a holiday. The ‘Last’ or the one from 1 to 31 can be
assigned. If the month is not the Every, it should be set up within the range of the date
for a corresponding month. That is, February 31 cannot be set up.

Solar/Lunar This is used to assign whether the date is a solar calendar day or a lunar calendar day.
Lunar calendar has the system (leap month, long month, even month) different from
solar month. The details will be discussed in ‘Lunar Calendar (Leap Month).

319
 SCADA USER MANUAL

16-3. Editing a Model

To edit a model means to configure the timetable for a day. But, the process to edit this model is not
to configure the timetable for a specific day. The date is assigned in the schedule edit process explained
next.

If you select the ‘New Model’ in the ‘Edit’ menu, or use the ‘Add…’ button or the ‘Edit’ button, the
‘Edit Model’ dialog box to set up a corresponding model will appear. How to set up each item in the
dialog box is as follows.

Name This is used to assign a model name. This name is used in the process to set up the
model performed on the day (or holiday, day of week) corresponding to the “Editing a
Schedule” explained next. Accordingly, the name should be not as same as other model
names.
Use As Base This is used to perform this model on the day when it is not registered to the
Schedule “Editing Schedule”. That is, it is the timetable to perform on weekday.
Only one model can be assigned as a base schedule and the assigned model is displayed
in a red round icon on a model list window.
Description This is used to describe the brief explanation about a model.
Timetable This is used to display a registered timetable as a list. The ‘Add…’ button or the ‘Edit…’
button can be used to set up each item. The following dialog box will appear.

320
 SCADA USER MANUAL

16-4. Editing a Timetable

If you select the ‘Add…’ button or the ‘Edit…’ button in a ‘Edit Model’ dialog box, the following dialog
box will appear. And each time can be set up in detail.

Time This is used to assign the base time when a command (operation) expression is run. It
can be assigned from 0 hr 0 min to 23 hr 59 min.
How To Run One between the ‘Once On The Assigned Time’ and the ‘Continuously’ can be assigned.
In case of the continuously, assign the ‘Interval’ in second.
Once On This is used to run an expression once at an assigned time
The Assigned (effective for a minute). Accordingly, if a system is run at the
Time time that is not assigned, a command expression will be not run.
Continuously This is used to run an assigned command (operation) expression
repeatedly from assigned time to the next assigned time. But, the
interval is the set value in second. More details will be discussed in
the ‘How To Run Timetable’.
Command This is used to assign the command or the operation expression run on an
(Operation) assigned time. Refer to the Chapter 22 for the details about command
Expression expression and operation expression.

Description This is used to enter the brief description on the schedule under editing.

- Priority of Schedule

The CIMON-SCADA selects one among the several schedules registered on the basis of a running-date
when a system is run. Two or more schedules may be selected in this process. For example, it is the
case that the ‘March 1’, which has been registered to the holiday, is Sunday in the circumstance that
holiday schedule and day schedule (Sunday) are registered.
In this case, one between holiday schedule and Sunday schedule should be selected. The priority is as
follows.

• 1st Priority: Date

• 2nd Priority : Holiday
• 3rd Priority : Day
• 4th Priority : Basic schedule

Note In the case that the schedules with different priority each other are duplicated, one will
be selected as the above. But, in the case that the schedule with the same priority is
duplicated, it is unable to know which one is selected. For example, the two schedules of
date type like ‘Every/every/lastday’ and ‘Every/3/31’ can be duplicated.

323
 SCADA USER MANUAL
- How to Run a Timetable

The CIMON-SCADA selects the schedule run after a system is operated. If a schedule is selected, the
CIMON-SCADA will run the command expressions of a corresponding time as follows, referring to the
timetable of an assigned model here. Let’s assume that the following timetable is made for selected
models to help your understanding.

 00:00 Continuously (60 sec.) Command 1

 09:00 On Time Command 2
 10:00 Continuously (4000 sec.) Command 3
 11:00 Continuously Command 4
 ...

On Starting The CIMON-SCADA finds the nearest past time from a current time. If the running
form for a found time is the ‘Continuously’, the assigned command expression will
be run continuously at assigned intervals. But, if it is the ‘Once On The Assigned
Time’, the expression will run on the time. If the CIMON starts at 7 o’clock on the
basis of the above timetable, the content for 0 o’clock will be found. This time, the
command expression 1 will be run, as the command expression of the found time
is the ‘Continuously’. If the CIMON-SCADA starts at 09:01, the command expression
for 09:00 will be selected but Command 2 will not be run, as the time does not
coincide.

Effective The command expression assigned as the ‘Continuously’ will be effective till the
next time. Command 1 for 00:00 on the basis of the example will be run once every
60 seconds till 08:59:59. But, the command expression assigned at 09:00 will
effective for a minute. In the above example, Command 2 assigned at 09:00 will be
run once from 09:00:00 to 09:00:59.

Interval Interval should be assigned in case of the command expression assigned as the
‘Continuously’. This interval can be assigned from 1 second to 32767 seconds. If
this interval is assigned in a big number to be after the next assigned time, the
expression will be run once. (The command expression assigned at 10:00
corresponds to the above example.)

324
 SCADA USER MANUAL
- Lunar Calendar (Leap Month)

The CIMON-SCADA can use lunar calendar day to assign schedules and holidays. But, in lunar calendar,
the special month called leap month exits. The CIMON-SCADA manages the leap month as the
following basis.

In case the month is assigned

In case that a month is assigned clearly like “Lunar Every year/8/15”, the “Leap/8/15” will be managed
as non-corresponding day.

In case the month is assigned as the ‘Every’

In case that a specific month is not assigned like “Lunar yyyy/every/dd”, it will be managed normally
in the leap month, if the year coincides with the date(dd) in the leap month.
