Section 8-7: Saving and Viewing Trends
The ACS410 software can be used to view and save trends. Trending enables a technician to
easily view and quantify system behavior over time. The following steps outline the procedure
for viewing and saving trends with the ACS410 software.
1. Open the ACS410 software and connect at the desired access level. For example, when
logged in at the user level, only user level parameters can be trended. See previous sections if
necessary. Most parameters that are desirable to trend are user level parameters (900 series
parameters). After the connection is established, click on the "Trending" tab. An example of
the trending screen is shown below in Figure 8-1.

2. All of the parameters available to be trended are listed in the lower left corner. Double-
click on any parameter or use the ">" button to select it as a parameter to be trended. A
maximum of 9 parameters can be trended at one time.
3. Use the "X" column to select a multiplier other than 1. Click on the color square next to the
"X" column to change the color of the trend.
4. Once all of the trend settings (trending profile) have been set, these settings can be saved if
desired. To save the trending profile, enter a file name in the "Trending profile" text box. The
default name is the current date and time. Add a description if desired, and then click "Save".
Trending profiles are stored at: C:\Program Files\(x86)\Siemens\ACS410\tn. All trending
profiles are saved as .ptd files. Once the trending profile has been saved, a dialog box will
appear stating the save was successful. Click "OK".
