Current Status Tab Chapter 5. Using Production Monitoring™
IM8001 Production Monitoring™ User Manual 5.9
Icon Description
Off Line: This means that Production Monitoring™ is not collecting data from the Welding
Power Source. There must be a check mark in the Enable Data Collection checkbox for the
power source on the Administration page of Production Monitoring™. See page 4.9 for details
on enabling data collection for the power source or contact your Production Monitoring™
administrator. There may be a reason the power source was set to not collect data.
Ready: This indicates that the Welding Power Source is active and in an idle state (not welding).
Welding: The addition of the lightning bolt to the Ready icon indicates that the Welding Power
Source is currently welding.
Downloading Data: The three small circles on the Ready icon mean that the Welding Power
Source has a large amount of data that still needs to be read from the Welding Power Source.
NOTE | While this icon displays, new welds do not show up in Production Monitoring™ until
the power source finishes downloading the oldest welds first.
System Capacity
The final report on the Current Status tab is called System Capacity. This report displays information on
your database. Your system stores information in two tables within the database: one for weld data and
one for event data. Each table can retain data for up to 250,000 records. Once you reach 250,000 records,
the system automatically archives off the oldest records in groups of 60,000 records. Table 5.3 explains the
data available in this report. See page A.1 for more details on the archive file.
Figure 5.10 System Capacity Report
TIP | You may see the Weld Capacity field or the Event Capacity
field show higher than 250,000. There is a built-in buffer
that continues to store records until the archive occurs.
