  • Page 20 The alarms deriving from the instruments are “produced” by PlantWatch based on a list of templates; each type of instrument must have a corresponding template in the PlantWatch memory. For each category of controller (IR32, MPX,...), PlantWatch decides the alarm variables (digital only) and, on each positive or negative transition, generates respectively an alarm event or alarm over.

  • Page 23: Recording Time

    30 seconds When PlantWatch is configured with a number of variables or a sampling time other than the values described in the table, the maximum recording time varies from the expected 19 days. It will increase as the number of variables decreases or the sampling interval increases, and will decrease in the opposite cases.
  • Page 24 The configuration of the controlled variables is handled by the 3ODQW:DWFK 0DQDJHU program. For the use of this program please refer to the corresponding manual.

  • Page 31: Call To The Data Centre

    The purpose of the call is to transfer the updated alarm log to the centre. PlantWatch also calls the centre to download the YDULDEOHV ORJ. The latter call is made when the remaining space for saving the variables log falls below 30% of the space available. If the call and the download operation are successful, PlantWatch considers the free space as being 100%.
