8-1 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 1 Batch curves 1.1 Overview The System BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 records batch-oriented measured value curves, triggered by the PLC. There are not triggered any individual measured values but groups of curves. Measured values can be divided into up to a maximum of 240 curve groups. It is recorded from a server.On the server the application 'trendmanager' must run. If measured values are recorded by a server, the number of available process variables is reduced by this quantity, as trending uses the same mechanism. More than 1 server can record curves in the plant. A compression procedure is used by recording. A list describing the measured values needs to be created. The list describes all measured values to be recorded. For each server this list may contain up to 1200 entries for analog values and 999 entries for difital values. Digital measurement values can be derived from the analog signals 1-999. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 can also include weekly files and short-time records besides batch curves. Digital measured values could be recorded as well as analog curves. The digital measured values are calculated based on the analog signals. Curve visualisation is provided by a client application, which can run on each BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 system. The client can visualize measured values from different curve servers. Values are grouped, whereas a group can contain at most 8 analog and 24 digital measured values. An aggregation of several values is called a curve picture". It is possible to put several curves on top of the other and move and stretch them for the comparison. Note On account of a modified telegram structure in the batch relevant client - server communication the following restriction exists: On upgrading existing plants it should be noted that starting from BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 no mix of systemversions between client and server IOSes is supported. It is not possible f.e. to access stored curves on a V5.2 server from a V5.3 client and vice versa. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 1-1 Batch curves Configurations Single-user configuration Curve record as well as curve visualisation run on the same OS. Client-server configuration There is a curve record on one or two redundant Servers and the curve visualisation is available on all clients. Multi-client-server configuration recording is done on several or redundant server. Measured values are visualized by several server. 1.2 Measured value type Measured values must be assigned one of the following types: 1: Short term curve This measured value can only be used in short-term record files. 2: Batch archive The measured value can be used in batch archives and in weekly archives. 3: Weekly archive This measured value can only be used in weekly archives. 1.3 Curve groups A curve group contains several values, which are related in a technological manner. Recording is enabled or stopped for the whole group, whereas at most 240 groups can be configured. Grouping of curves is done at engineering of the decription list mentioned above. 1.3.1 Status of the curve groups The PCU software includes a trigger-data block, which aggregates the actual informations about all curve groups (status list). The data record of a curve group includes four data words (DB689 in SIMATIC S7). Structure of the data block Address (in DW) Meaning Offset Offset Has the value 2 Offset + (n-1)*4 Job number n = Group number Offset + (n-1)*4 + 1 Batch number n = Group number Offset + (n-1)*4 + 2 Year / Recipe type n = Group number Offset + (n-1)*4 + 3 Recipe number n = Group number 1.4 Triggering curves Triggering (enabling/stopping) of collecting data within the PCU is done by a function block "trigger-function block FC 695". Batch informations as well as curve groups are created. Batch information as well as the curve group number is provided for this block. The function block is called by recipe procedures or sequence function blocks. 1-2 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Batch curves 1.5 Comparison curves The Option "Compare curves" provides the possibility to view several batch or weekly archives simultaneously for comparison purposes. In that way you distinguish between two functions. Free Selection Function 1: You can open up to 8 batches or week-archives for a configured curve picture (Selection of measured values). The graphs can be moved in order to get them matched for an easier comparison. Function 2: By "free selction" you can select curves from different batches. That selection is used as a reference (Step 1 of Selection) for comparison with another batch. Compare curves In order to get the quality of a produced batch, the curve graphs of one batch or selection (Step `Free Selection') can be compared with the corresponding curves of another batch. Note: If digital values are configured in the opened curve picture too, the comparison feature is not selectable. Enable The function must be enabled in general. file: section: key: ...\windcs\sys\kurven.ini [Select] CmpOptionEna=1 1.6 Archive editor The archive editor is used for: editing manual values into the file and for the transfer of these input values into the PCU, a manual modification of curve values BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 1-3 Batch curves 1-4 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 2 AS-Engineering 2.1 Overview This chapter describes, what to do in the PCU and how to configure it in order to get curves recorded. 2.2 How 'triggering' works Batch information are transferred into the trigger data block by starting the trigger. In addition the Trendmanager is informed about the start of a record for the curve group. The trendmanager reads the batch data and starts with recording the corresponding curve group. By stopping records a message is sent to the trendmanager, it stops the recording of measured values for this group. 2.3 Batch reference of trigger data block Direct input of the batch reference (iSEQID = 0; boACTSEQ = 0). Indirect addressing via sequencer-number (iSEQID > 0; boACTSEQ = 0). The batch reference is read from the sequencer data record, which is indicated via the parameter 'iSEQID'. Indirect addressing via sequence number, which is actually processed (iSEQID = 0; boACTSEQ = 1), this is only possible in BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 based on S7". 2.4 Input parameter of the trigger function block iID (integer; from 1 - 240) The curve group number must be provided manually and must be the same as configured in the measured value description list. byRecCat, byYear, iOrder_No, iBatch_No, iRecip_No The batch reference can be provided directly via these inputs. The parameters are transferred into trigger-DB when starting the group. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 2-1 AS-Engineering boRun (bool) A rising edge at this input parameter starts recording values for this group. The input parameters RecCat, Year, Order_No and Batch_No are taken as batch information at the time, boRun goes from 0 to 1. boActSeq (bool) This input parameter is only used in versions "based on S7" and means, that the batch reference is taken from the sequence which is processed actually. iSeqID (integer) This input parameter references the sequencer (number) from which the batch reference should be taken. 2.5 Call examples Direct input of the batch reference The start and the batch reference can be provided independently by the sequencer with this call: CALL "TRIGG_CURVE_GR_FC" boRUN :=TRUE boACTSEQ :=FALSE iID :=0 iSEQID :=0 byYEAR :=B#16#1 byRECCAT :=B#16#1 iORDER_NO :=4711 iBATCH_NO :=1 iRECIP_NO :=1 Indirect indication by Sequencer-number This call is necessary for background tasks of a sequence, which run independently from the sequence process itself but should trigger the curves anyway. CALL "TRIGG_CURVE_GR_FC" boRRUN :=TRUE boACTSEQ :=FALSE iID :=0 iSEQID :=10 byYEAR :=B#16#0 byRECCAT :=B#16#0 iORDER_NO :=0 iBATCH_NO :=0 iRECIP_NO :=0 Indirect by sequence which are processed actually This call is only used in versions "based on S7". You should call it in an EOP/EPH (FC1001 - FC1999) or in the sequencer function block (FB1001 - FB1064). Only the curve group and the parameter boACTSEQ = 1 should be provided; all other parameters aren't important. CALL "TRIGG_CURVE_GR_FC" boRUN :=TRUE boACTSEQ :=TRUE iID :=0 iSEQID :=0 byYEAR :=B#16#0 byRECCAT :=B#16#0 iORDER_NO :=0 iBATCH_NO :=0 iRECIP_NO :=0 2-2 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 AS-Engineering 2.6 Telegram for triggering Buffers (FIFOs) must be configured for the trigger telegrams (type 18). The message type must be configured for one of three FIFOs for the server. If curves are recorded parallely, two FIFOs must be configured - FIFO 3 or FIFO 6 should be used as a default configuration. Direct input The input of the message type can be done directly via the parametrization tool. However, you can use the automatic configuration during server startup. Server startup You can let the system parameterize the FIFOs during the startup of a server, this is then done automatically but must be activated via the application "system adjustments" by pressing the button 'FIFO configuration'. Then define and activate the FIFO configuration. Please enter the message type 18 and enable the checkbox. The standard message types for the recipe system and route control are configured automatically and needn't to be preselected.

This is done by the application "MeasEdit.exe". You can find it here: Tab Engineering-Tools" 3.2 Starting the Trendmanager For recording batch curves you must start the application Trendmanager` (trendman.exe) on the server, doing this in different ways. Manually: This type isn't recommendable since you easily forget the start of the curve record. With the main menu: 1. old AREA.INI format Via an adjustment in the file \windcs\sys\sys.ini\windcs you can configure the system to start the trendmanager. section: [PC] key: AutoStart=trendman.exe 2. Extended AREA.INI format The key is in "\windcs\sys\area.ini". You can enter the key by means of the `System settingsConfigtool' (SiteCfg.exe) application. In the IOS-Settings dialog please enter `trendman.exe' in the Autostart field 3.3 Trendmanager window The trendmanager has no operator interface in the standard operation, runs as process on the server and is displayed as an icon in the toolbar. The window can't be opened directly. Pressing the ALT` key and Mouse clicking on the icon at the same time will open the window, which lists all curve groups and their actual batch information: BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 3-1 Installation and Operation The window can be opened automatically when the program starts by the following settings in "\windcs\sys\trendman.ini": Entry: [Window] Key: Show=1 3.4 Configuration of batch curves You can make modifications for batch curves, by editing the file \windcs\sys\trendman.ini` in an ASCII editor. Note: Further information is available at the Simatic Customer Support Center (addresses / partners are fond in the preface of this manual). 3.4.1 Configurating the server 3-2 Server All curve servers are configured in this section, whereas it is possible to enter more than 1 server. The servers must be separated by a ; (semicolon) . The syntax for each server is <IOS-Nr>$<Path>. <Path> defines a network path of the curve server. Entry: [Network] Key: Server=1$\\IOS01\c\windcs BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Installation and Operation 3.4.2 Configurating recording StoreOnExit Save data before closing the application ON (1, default) or OFF (0). Entry: [App] Key: StoreOnExit=1 STBufferSize Size of the buffer for short-time curves. The default value is 150, the allowed range is 60 to 1800. Entry: [App] Key: STBufferSize=150 StartMark Enables (1, default) or disables (0) saving additional user information, when start trigger rises. Entry: [App] Key: StartMark=0 (Default) When trend recording is switched off by the curve trigger function or by closing Trenman.exe and then switched on again, the off value is linked to the start value, i.e. the user does not see that trend recording was interrupted. Startmark=1 This sets a start flag at 80000000 hex in the curve archive each time trend recording is started. This value is not shown as curve value, but is only an identifier for the curve output. The end value is thus not linked to the start value in the curve display, i.e. the curve is interrupted at this point, and the user can recognize this interuption. FlushCycle Measured values are recorded in intervals according configuration in the measured value description list. In order to reduce the amount of hard disk accesses, the measured values are collected in main memory of the server and written on the disc after a certain time. The cycle of storing can be defined by this indication (in seconds, default is 15 seconds). If there is a failure on the server, the values which are hold in the main memory will get lost. Entry: Key: DiffTime In BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3, measured values are already recorded in a compressed form, values are only recorded if the difference between the old and the new value exceeds a certain hysteresis value. Therefore it could be possible, that a value won't be recorded for a very long time. The user can force writing the value onto disk at least after a given period of time (in seconds, the default value is 3600 seconds (60 minutes)). Entry: Key: [App] FlushCycle=15 [App] DiffTime=3600 3.4.3 Configurating the client For showing curves on a client the user must enter parameters in the file ...\windcs\sys\trendman.ini: Entry: Key: [Network] HostIPAddr=192.168.1.1 Enter the IP-address of the assigned curve server. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 3-3 Installation and Operation 3.4.4 Configurating folders Folders for reading and writing data are done in \windcs\sys\sys.ini`. There is more than one path possible for a category (pathes are grouped as categories). ( See also: Installation&Configuration 9.3) The batch curves take always the first entry, parameters must be separated with ; (semicolon). All data for the batch curves are written and read via the category Configuration`. Category: Configuration Entry: key: [Paths] Proj= 3.5 Redundancy Curve record Recording curves can be done redundantly by two servers, which run independently from each other. Client A client is connected with 1 server, if this server fails, the user must modify the client configuration manually to access the other server. There is no automatic switchover to the other server. 3.6 Where the data is located The following files are important: windcs\trend\ini\measdesc.def` This is the description file for the analog measured value description list. The file is copied during installation. The file mustn't be changed, as it contains the structure of the data records for a measured values. 0 Structur of measurevalue-description-list 97 1 MEASURE_NR CINT 3 measurevalue number 4 BLOCK_NAME CHAR 6 block name 10 DATAR_NAME CHAR 16 data record name 26 DATAR_NR CINT 4 data record number 30 DATAR_ELEM CHAR 6 data record element 36 REL_ADD CINT 3 relative address 39 ACQ_CYCLE CINT 5 acquisition cycle 44 INF_LIMIT CINT 6 inferior limit 50 SUP_LIMIT CINT 6 superior limit 56 HYSTER CINT 5 hysteresis 61 DIMENSION CHAR 16 dimension 77 DEC_POINT CINT 2 decimal point 79 HANDLING CINT 1 archive handling 80 GROUP_NR CINT 3 group number 83 PCU_NR CINT 3 PCU number 86 BIT_DW_DRL CINT 2 Bit/DW/DL/DR ID 88 SOURCE_TYP CINT 2 source type 90 SOURCE_NR CINT 3 source number 93 DW_NR CINT 4 DW number 3-4 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Installation and Operation windcs\trend\ini\measdesc.dbf` Analog measured value description lists are stored into this file (dBase format). windcs\trend\ini\digidesc.def` This is the description file for the digital measured value description list.

In order to reduce the amount of the files per sub folder, the system creates a sub folder for every 50 measured values, e.g. the sub folder "data.050" contains records of the measured values # 1 up to # 50. 3.7 Storage of the pictures In the standard delivery of the system all pictures are stored in the system folder. This behaviour can be changed. File: Entry: Keyl: kurven.ini [Options] SynchonizeFiles= Value: 1 The picture files are loaded from the first folder entry in the file sys.ini (Key: PROJ). The pictures are stored to all entries under the PROJ folder. Value: 0 (Default) All pictures are loaded and stored to the lokal system folder.

BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 5 Measured value description list 5.1 General All measurement valuies to be recorded must be configured in one of two measured value description lists: BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 always distinguishes between analog measured values and their derived digital values. Each one of these groups is available in a separate database file which the user should not directly edit. The measured value description list Editor (MVDL Editor) unites both lists on one user interface. Call: "Engineering tools" tab To apply the deltas in a measured value description list, you need to restart the TRENDMANAGER. The system can only record a limited number of scanning instants. Under the assumption that all scanning instances are saved, the following interrelation can be used to calculate the smallest possible sampling cycle. min. sampling cycle = max. recording time in seconds / number of points The practical high limit (with acceptable performance) of the number of scanning instants is approx. 10,000, although the theoretical high limit is a rate of approx. 1,000,000. 5.2 Analog measurement values 5.2.1 Attributes An analog measured value is characterized by the following attributes: ID (Identification) System-wide uniuqe identifier of the measured value. Directly dependent on this are the derived digital values and the trends based on this measured value. This number also defines the filename used in the archive on the hard disk drive. Permitted number of entries: 1 to 1200. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 5-1 Measured value description list Measured value name Forms the name of the measured value and the caption for the trend. The maximum length of the name is 16 characters and it may not contain any spezial characters. Addressing Analog measured values can be addresses in two ways: 1. By direct definition of an absolute address (in the Editor: "Absolute") 2. By an attribute of a system or user object (in the Editor: "System") PCU The measured value must originate from a control; here, the PCU number assigned in the system control is expected. Class Only relevant for the "System" source version: the Braumat class of the recorded measurement value. Instance Only relevant for the "System" source version: the Braumat instance number of the recorded measurement value. Attribute Only relevant for the "System" source version: the Braumat attribute of the recorded measurement value. Absolute address Relevant for addressing type "Absolute" only: a Simatic address in a STEP 7 syntax (e.g. DB712.DBW8). For a S5 machine an equivalent syntax is expected (e.g. DB712.DL8). For absolute addressing the Input- Output or Flags/Memory ranges in AWL-Syntax maybe defined as well (e.g.. I35.7, M99.1, MW 132, QB22). Archive type Every analog measured value has to be assigned one of these archive types: - Short-time archive - Batch archive - Long-time archive - Manual archive Curve group Number of the curve group to which this value should be part of. Refresh Recording cycle, that is timing interval between to scannings in seconds. Valid range is 2 to 32767 seconds. The real cycle depends on the hysteresis and the slope of the curve. Lower limit Minimum value of the scaling in the picture. Upper limit Maximum value of the scaling in the picture. 5-2 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Measured value description list Hysteresis Tolerance band where a value is stored if it is not within this range. The hysteresis is not used for short-time archives. Dimension Unit of the measured value (e.g. C, sec, ...) Decimal point Number of digits for the axis marking. 5.2.2 Data types and limits For data types and limit values there are several unusual features to notice: Simatic raw type Interpretation Lower limit Upper limt DBB, IB, QB, MB unsigned 8-Bit-integer 0 255 DBW, IW,QW, MW signed 16-Bit-integer -32 768 32 767 DBD, ID, QD, MD signed 32-Bit-integer -99 999 (s.b.) 999 999 (s.b.) REAL (not supported) For historic reasons of downward compatibility, we have restricted the field length of the high and low limit attributes to six characters. 16-bit integer values do not represent a problem, whereas the representation of a 32-bit integer (DINT) values requires a significantly higher number of characters. The usable DINT limits and thus the range of measurement values listed above are the result of this restriction. 5.3 Digital measured values Beside analog values you can also record and display digital values. Digital measured values aren't inserted directly, but derived based on analog values. An digital measured value is defined by the following attributes: Associated analog value The value derived implicitly by means of the "Derive new measurement value" function. A change of the ID of the analog value does not affect this association. Note: For downward compatibility the database's field for a linked analog value is only three characters wide. From this it follows that you can derive digital values from analog values whose ID is between 1 and 999. (Reminder: possible are 1200 analog values per server). Measured value description Name of the measured value as it will appear as a caption in the trend visualization. It may only be a maximum of 16 characters and must not contain any special character. Start bit Number of the starting bit for a requested bit-combination. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 5-3 Measured value description list End bit Number of the end bit for a requested bit-combination. If the characteristic refers to a single bit, it will correspond to the "Start bit". Combination type Combination types logical AND as well as OR are allowed. All bits in range are combined accordingly. If starting and end bit are the same, this attribute of course doesn't care. Note: The at most usable bit naturally depends on the analog value's data type but is always restricted to 15, even for double word addresses 5.4 Handling the editor You can edit analog measured values and their derived digital values in the MVRL Editor. The user interface consists of two table views which are handled in accordance with the standard Windows features. 5.4.1 Elementary usage Shortcuts Program <Ctrl> S Save trending definition <Ctrl> P Print analog or digital trending definition <Ctrl> <Shift> P Print preview for analog or digital trending definition Edit <Ctrl> Z Undo <Ctrl> Y Redo <Ctrl> X Cut current line <Ctrl> C Copy current line to clipboard <Ctrl> V Insert line from clipboard after current line <Ctrl> <Shift> V Insert line from clipboard before current line <Del> Delete current line <Ctrl> N Insert new line after current line <Ctrl> <Shift> N Insert new line before current line <Ctrl> <Alt> N Derive a new digital measured value from current analog measured value Views <Ctrl> <TAB> <F6> 5-4 Toggle between analog and digital measured values' view BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Measured value description list Toolbar buttons Save trending definition Print analog or digital trending definition Print preview for analog or digital trending definition Cut current line Copy current line to clipboard Insert line from clipboard after current line Undo Redo Optimize columns' width for current view Show all digital measured values or only those, which are derived from current analog measured value 5.4.2 Create new analog measured values Alternative 1: the main menu Alternative 2: By means of the shortcut menu in the "Analog values" view (right-click on the table view) Alternative 3: keyboard shortcuts As indicated above, the keyboard shortcut is a faster means of inserting new definition: <Ctrl>+<Shift>+N <Ctrl>+N BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 New definition line before current line New definition line after current line 5-5 Measured value description list 5.4.3 Create new digital measured values Almost same as above. Alternatives are the main menu, a context menu (active view doesn't care), or a keyboard shortcut (<Ctrl><Alt>N). Please keep in mind that a digital measured value has to derived from a anaolg measured value, that is, it cannot exist by itself. 5.4.4 Editing measured values Notes on the input of values With the Editor, you have a highly efficient tool at hand for the editing attribute values. You can basically select any value for editing by means of the shortcut key <F2>, with <ENTER>, or by double-clicking with the left mouse button. After you have edited a value, you can apply the changes and move to thre next column by pressing the <TAB> key (does not apply to the pop-up selection boxes). Analog values (no special features to be considered for the input) <F2>, <ENTER>, a double-click opens a selection box, Shortcuts: "s" for "System", "a" for "Absolute" <F2>, <ENTER>, a double-click opens a selection box, Shortcut: PCU number <F2>, <ENTER>, a double-click opens a selection box, Shortcut for an instance: instance number. (if you prefer, you can also enter the class and atttribute in text format. The text is not case sensitive.) For SIMATIC S7: STEP 7 STL syntax, For SIMATIC S5: A syntax associated with STEP 7 STL (e.g. DB712.DW8) <F2>, <ENTER>, a double-click opens a selection box, Short input by means of the numbers known in previous system versions: 1 (short-term archive) 2 (batch archive) 3 (weekly archive) 4 (manual archive) (no special features to be considered for the input) Digital values (information only; can not be edited) (no special features to be considered for the input) <F2>, <ENTER>, a double-click opens a selection box, Shortcut: "a" for "AND", "o" for "OR" Notes: All clipboard operations (Cut, Copy, ...) and the "Delete" command always affect a complete measurement value line. 5-6 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Measured value description list 5.4.5 Print settings Main menu: File -> Print settings Here you can set some of the printer defaults: separate page layout for analog and digital values and an adaptable footer.

It enables the time display of running curve values which have already been recorded or as diagrams on the screen. Display of analog curves You can assemble up to a maximum of eight curves. Each individual curve is hideable. Furthermore the the user can print a screen shot of the curves. The user can zoom into a graph and get any absolute value from the archive with the corresponding point of time additionally. The scale, unit and archive maintenance of the curve values are defined in the measured value description list. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 6-1 Curve visualization Display of digital properties Digital curve properties of individual bits are displayed as followed: Condition "0" (graph with gaps) Condition "1" (colored graph) Display The following picture combinations are possible: Picture with analog curves only: up to 8 analog graphs Picture with digital curves only: up to 32 digital graphs Mixed picture: up to 8 analog and up to 16 digital graphs Trendmanager The visualization application reqires a connection to the trendmanager app, which can run locally or remotely on a server. It provides access to the curve archives, which are configured in the measure values decribtion list. Graphs showing currently running batches are updated cyclically. 6.2 Creating pictures Three types of pictures are possible Pictures consisting of values from the short term archive`.

For weekly curves, the curves of different calendar weeks can be compared with one another; for batch curves, the curves of different batches can be compared with one another. Below is an example showing the selection of comparison batch curves. Weekly curves are selected in the same way, except that the selection is made via "Year/Calendar week" instead of "Year/Order number/Batch number". BRAUMAT differentiates between the "Free selection" and "Compare curves" options for selection of comparison curves. Use the "Free selection" option to display and compare individual curve shapes (of an individual measured value) with recorded curve shapes of the same measured value for different batches or weeks in one curve display. It is possible to compare up to 8 measured values of different batches simultaneously. Use the "Compare curves" option to compare defined reference curves with all curves of a curve display of a different batch (or calendar week in the case of weekly curves) using the "Free selection" option. An example is shown below. 6.11.1 Curve comparison with the "Free selection" option Select "batch curves" and "image name" (here LT.ltb) and the "Free selection" option to open the "Batch selection" window, which enables the normal selection of "Year/Order number/Batch number" on the left, the selection of the curves of this curve image at the bottom right, and the selection of "Selected batches" at the top right. In the following, no batches have been selected yet for the "GI129" measurement. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 6-17 Curve visualization Batches are selected separately for each curve (measured value in lower right field). In the example, the measured value GI129 is selected here, along with the Year 2006, Order number 104, and Batch number 104 on the left. Clicking the ">>" button causes the selection to be displayed in the top right field (the selection also works by double-clicking on year, order number, or batch number in the left selection area). As shown in the figure, the measured value GI129 of the server IOS102 is selected from the year 2006, order 104, and batch 104. By selecting multiple batches on the left, it is possible to select up to 8 candidates for a measured value, which are then displayed together in a curve window. 6-18 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Curve visualization Select additional curves (measured values) the same way if you want to display a common representation of various measured values in one curve window later. The selection of the selected batches of the other curves will be retained.

In the Compare curves selection window, the following is possible: 1) after selecting the "Curve" via the drop-down menu" at the very bottom, individual curves can be selected in the list field (the blue bar shows the selected batch), which then turn black; 2) curves can be displayed and hidden ("ON/OFF" button), which is indicated with an X in the "Visible" column; 3) curves can be shifted over the time axis using the arrow or double-arrow buttons (small or large increments, respectively, to left or right).

This takes place as described above, with curve image "MTK1" in this case. The "TI102" and "LI102" curves of year 2006 with order/batch number 10 are defined as references. BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 6-23 Curve visualization After confirmation with "OK", these two curve shapes will be displayed. 6-24 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Curve visualization The comparison curve is selected using the "File->Open->Batch archives" function: The "Compare curves" option is used to open the selection window for the batches: Here you select the comparison batch. You do not define the curve(s) themselves here, because all curves of the respective curve image of this batch will be displayed. It is therefore important to define a meaningful grouping of curves with this option (less is more). BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 6-25 Curve visualization After confirmation with "OK", the curve display will now appear as follows: Use "Options - Compare curves" to display a window in which you select both the curve itself (drop-down menu at the bottom) as well as the reference and/or comparison curve. The selected curve of the batch here batch number 100 - that is highlighted with a blue bar, is represented in the curve display in black. It can be displayed and hidden ("ON/OFF" key) and shifted with respect to time using the arrow keys, in order to achieve overlap with the reference curve. 6-26 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Curve visualization If the curves of another batch are to be compared, this batch is selected with the "Compare curves" option as described above. The reference curves remain the same as before. Thus, it is possible to successively compare multiple batches with references.

The view shows a table with a time scale value and the measure value as columns. Several graphs can be edited in the same row (same time column). The program can not be started by means of the SISTAR menu, but must be opened directly in Windows: In the Explorer, select the "windcs\sys" folder. Double-click 'archedit.exe' to start the program. You can also create a shortcut to 'Archedit.exe' on your desktop. 7.2 Engineering More or less similar to the visualization of curves also the archive editor uses views, but they have to be configured with an ASCII editor manually. Folder and file name syntax for archive views: folder: file extention: \windcs\trend\picture` *.man` Structure of a view: The number of shown measured values must be configured according the following rules, at most 16 values can be displayed. [ArchiveSet] Values=6 The next section is values` with a key per measure value. [Values] ;Value...=<number of IOS>,<number of mesured value> Value1=2,1 Value2=2,2 Value3=2,3 Value4=2,4 Value5=2,5 Value6=2,6 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 7-1 Archive editor Configuration of file trendman.ini` Using manual inputs, configure key StartMark like this (file trendman.ini`): [App] StartMark=1 Access rights For saving manual inputs, the user right TRENDMAN` must be configured. 7.3 Printing The measure values can be printed as a table, the margins can be configured in file `arch_frm.txt' located at the global text folder ..\texte.x\arch_frm.txt`.

The address is in the measured value description list. Which value has been modified at last is shown in the first column of the table (*). Last change and additional data to PLC In addition to the value, also the date, the time, the order and batch number is sent to the PLC. Addressing Data is filed at the address given in the measured value description list. If the application has been started with option `/pe', also an additional data is stored next to the given address in the measured value description list. Adr (=MWL): changed value Adr + 2 Bytes: second Adr + 3 Bytes: value 1 = value has been written and must be reset by the user program. Adr + 4 Bytes: hour Adr + 5 Bytes: minute Adr + 6 Bytes: day Adr + 7 Bytes: day of the week Adr + 8 Bytes: year Adr + 9 Bytes: month Adr + 10 Bytes: order number Adr + 12 Bytes: batch number The user program should reserve those addresses beyond the value. This funktion can only be used by user programs.

Click on the icon By activating the function key F2. in the button bar. A dialog appears, please select a batch 7-4 BRAUMAT/SISTAR Classic V5.3 Batch trending A5E00239387-05 Archive editor Sample of a called file: Save Press this button on the button bar or select "file/save" saves the file on the disk. Caution: The save function is possible only for so-called `manual archives'. These may contain type 4 measured values (=manual type) exclusively. The determination of the measured value type occurs with the application `Measured value description list' (see chapter 5.). It is recommended for this purpose to define an own view description, which contains only measured values of type 4. When opening such a manual archive view, the batch selection dialog appears too. The selected batch is used, however, only for definition of file location of the manual archive in the corresponding list here. The manually entered values are put aside to the existing measured values.
