Trace functions

Description
Data, events, measured values, etc. can be recorded and saved in the time history using the
trace function. They can then be represented in graphical form with the help of a PC and
Motor Starter ES (from SP2).
Tracing can be started/stopped either by command or automatically (Power On).
Up to 4 channels can be recorded.
Sampling rate
The sampling rate defines the time intervals between recordings of the individual measuring
points, and thus indirectly also the recording duration.
Memory size
The value of this parameter refers to the percentage of the maximum memory size. In the
case of values < 100%, the measured value memory is reduced equally for each channel
used. The recording time can be reduced in this way.
Pretrigger
This parameter enables signals to be recorded before a trigger event.
● 0% means no recording of the previous history
● 50% means recording of 50% of the previous history and 50% of the subsequent history
● 100% means recording only before the trigger event
