The menu for setting the times for retrieving data can be accessed - when a new device is set up or - by means of the menu function Edit ➔ ... Times: - Edit.
6 Time Settings A I It depends on the specific device whether, when using an Ethernet connection via TCP/IP, only one program from the PC software components can operate through the interface. If only one program can operate, other programs can still continue to communicate with other devices. Example: PCC is used to access a paperless recorder (Device 1) via TCP/IP. PCS (Security Manager) can be used to access a different paperless recorder (Device 2) via TCP/IP.
6 Time Settings H Example 1 If the period is set to less than 60 seconds, the data are read out in a continuous cycle, i.e. the connection to the device is never broken. A continuous cycle is only stopped if an error occurs, on cancellation by the user, or at the end of the operating period (if it is active and the read-out has been carried out 100%). The parameter for “Continue read-out beyond the operating period” in the “Advanced (1)” tab also has an effect on the end of the operating period.
6 Time Settings Start time for next read-out of data No change If a change is made to the time settings, the new time will only take effect after the next read-out. Example: Read out will be performed Mondays at 8:00 AM. It is currently 7:00 AM Monday. You set “Retrieve at” to 10:00 AM and leave the “Calculation of start date” set to “No change.” The next read-out happens at 08:00 AM. Then the new setting will be made for 10:00 on Monday of the following week.
6 Time Settings Time synchronization The setting for when the device time will be synchronized to the PC time. This is used to eliminate differences between the PC and the device. H It is only possible for devices that support time synchronization. H Synchronization can only be performed during operating periods. Setting that determines whether and how the start date/ time is calculated Cyclic check This defines a check for whether the attached device is still connected to the PC.
6 Time Settings Operating periods Here you can set the periods of time for which the device is accessible, i.e. the system is in operation. These settings are used to calculate the start dates/ times for activities (e.g. retrieving or reading out data, time synchronization, and cyclic checks) and in this way also reserve specific time periods for other programs. Weekdays on which the device will be operational The time of day from ... to ...
6 Time Settings Time schedule These settings are intended for use when data must be retrieved or read out at individually specified times that cannot be set to occur periodically. A These times must lie within the operating periods, and the action (retrieving/reading) must be set to schedule! After the processing of a scheduled event, it will be removed from the list by the software. List for the special time entries Time and date entry.
6 Time Settings Expanded (1) A This function depends on the device version! Inactive ( ): All data will be read out from the device. For Type 1 devices (e.g. IMAGO 500) it can happen that a memory alarm is generated during the read-out. After a successful read-out, the alarm will automatically be reset. Active ( ): Only new data will be read, even if “old” data is still missing in the archive.
6 Time Settings Expanded (2) Active ( ): The scheduled times are calculated from the next valid point, as if the PCC software had just made a read-out. Inactive ( ): Data that have not yet been read out (from devices where the scheduled time has passed) is read immediately and then the scheduled times are recalculated (see register for operating periods).
