Views; Text View; Graphic View - ABB ETL600 Instruction Manual

ETL600
The IRIG-B format only informs about the time and the number of days
having passed in the current year but not about the number of the
year. So the date and time has to be set once manually in the ETL600
to supply the system with information about the current year. Refer to
Set clock for the procedure about how to set the date and time.

Views

The events are displayed by means of the HMI600. There are two
views available. A text based view for all kind of events and a graphic
view for the command events. The graphic view gives the possibility to
analyze files with event information from different equipment on one
display.

Text view

There are two ways to switch to the text view. If you have already
uploaded the events, use View / Display Events to change to the
event recorder text view.
If you did not upload any events so far you have to use:
Equipment / Commissioning and maintenance / Event recorder /
Upload events
to read the events. When the upload has finished, the HMI600
software switches to the event recorder text view.
You will see the events in chronological order. The command events
and the alarm events are listed in two different tables one below the
other. The information is listed as follows: DATE / TIME / EVENT.
By pressing the right mouse button you have the following choices:
•

about what alarm condition occurred. The extension of the alarms
can take some time. The status bar will inform you about the
progress.
