Description of the "Upload machine data" function
The diagnostic action "Upload machine data" enables uploading of the machine da-
ta to the ePS server on an event.
This action type has no configurable parameters.
In the column with the paper clip, the machine data can be marked for sending as
an attachment for a notification of the workflow for this control monitor.
Note
The uploaded machine data do not contain any drive machine data.
Description of the "Upload NC state data" function
The diagnostic action "Upload NC status data" enables uploading of the NC status
data to the ePS server on an event.
This action type has no configurable parameters.
In the column with the paper clip, the NC status data can be marked for sending as
an attachment for a notification of the workflow for this control monitor.
Description of the "Execute and upload PLC trace" function
This action can be used to record the PLC variables status on a cycle-specific ba-
sis and display them synchronously via the ePS server for comparison purposes.
Recording is started with the trigger event of the control monitor. Recording is
completed following the number of PLC cycles to be configured. A special feature
is the option of specifying how many recording cycles from the period prior to the
trigger event should remain recorded.
Note
Since the status can be recorded by means of any control monitor trigger, it is
possible that this trigger may be initiated more frequently within the programmed
recording time.
Within this context, ePS Network Services ensures that the recorded data is ac-
quired from the first trigger until the end of recording and, provided that it is not
overwritten in the DB interfaces of the PLC, until ePS Network Services has col-
lected the data and stored it on the server.
If a trigger subsequently occurs within the recording time for the pre-trigger, re-
cording is still carried out, but the pre-trigger status number is accordingly lower.
