Event History Files

The event history files can be opened with spreadsheet
software. Event history files have filenames of the form
presentyymmdd.his, where yymmdd (year, month, day)
is the date of the file as read from the controller.
D
Event history files are updated periodically by the
controller. See Section 3.15.5 for instructions to use
the Force History Save command to save the most
recent events to the event history file.
D
Transfer (upload) the file from the controller to a USB
storage device as instructed in Section 6.4.1.
D
Use a personal
presentyymmdd.his file on the storage device. Save
the file to the computer, if desired.
D
Use a spreadsheet program to open the file on the
computer.
The resulting file includes the events with time and date
formatted into spreadsheet columns. See Figure 6-11
for an example of an event history file viewed with
spreadsheet software.

Configuration files

The configuration (.cfg) file contains the transfer switch
settings, including:
D
System setup
D
Source setup, including voltage and frequency
pickup and dropouts
D
Time delays
D
Inputs and outputs
D
Communications settings
D
Calibration factors
The configuration file is automatically updated when the
the
operator changes the transfer switch settings. A backup
configuration file is also created automatically.
Configuration files from one transfer switch can be
saved to a mass storage device and then loaded onto
other transfer switches for quick setup of multiple
switches. Serial numbers and descriptions entered
through Monitor III software (or other Modbus
application) are
configuration files to a transfer switch.
Check the settings and run a test sequence after loading
the configuration file to verify correct operation. See
Section 3.10 for instructions to run a test.
