Event Processor
6.1 Setting Events
In the Event Processor function, transmission to an FTP server, e-mail transmission, or
file conversion is performed on the target file when the specified conditions of alarm,
time, and system status are met. For example, the following process can be performed.
• Transmit the contents of the alarm information in an e-mail message when an alarm
occurs.
• Transfer the data file to an FTP server when a data file is created.
• Periodically transmit the instantaneous values of the measured data in an e-mail
message.
• Convert the text file when a data file is created.
Events
The Event Processor can process up to 8 events simultaneously. The settings of a single
event consist of three items, event condition, target file, and execution process.
Note
If the condition is met for an event in progress, a new process is not started until the previous
event is finished.
Event conditions
Event condition is used to specify the time when the event is to be executed. The three
conditions that you can specify are as follows:
• Alarm: point of change, OFF→ON, ON→OFF
• Time: every minutely, every hour, every day, every week, every month, or interval
• System: When a data file is created, when a report file is created, when a recorder
disconnection is detected, when a recorder recovery is detected, and when a user
event is detected.
• Value: Events occur when the specified data meets the specified conditions.
You can specify up to two event conditions and the AND or OR logic of the two
conditions.
Target file
The target file is used to select the type of file to be handled in the execution process.
The following four types of target files are available.
• Data file: File created by the Logger Software of the DAQLOGGER.
• Report file: File created by the Report Software of the DAQLOGGER.
• PNG file: Saves the Monitor Software screen to a PNG file.
• User file: Scans and records the data when an event occurs (alarms or instantaneous
values) and saves the data to a text file.
Execution process
In the execution process, the process to be performed on the target file when the event
condition is met is specified. The following four execution processes are available.
• FTP: Transfer the file to an FTP server.
• E-Mail: Transmit an e-mail message.
• Convert: Convert the file to a text file, Microsoft Excel file, and Lotus 1-2-3 files. The
files that can be converted are data files (.mld) and report files (.rbi).
• Format: Tags the contents of text files. The tagged file is also output as a text file.
For each event, you can specify up to 10 processes.
You can copy and paste settings for the process.
