NOVUS AUTOMATION 22/38
USING SUPERVIEW WITH THE FIELD LOGGER
FIELD LOGGER I/O
Field Logger is an eight-channel Data Logger manufactured by Novus that can be used both in online monitoring and in
offline historic log. SuperView includes some specific features to be used together with this product:
• Access shortcut to the Field Logger set up program.
• Transference (download) of the Field Logger memory data to a SuperView historic log file.
To start the Field Logger set up program from the SuperView menu, select the option from the CONFIGURATORS
menu. In the displayed window, select a Field Logger type device and press CONFIGURE. The Field Logger
configuration program will start. To use this application, refer to the Field Logger documentation.
The following settings are required in SuperView application to allow the operator to download historic data from the
Field Logger memory:
1. In case it does not exist, register a Field Logger device. For further information on how to register a device, refer to
“Registering devices in the network”.
2. Create a Collect Tag associated to a Field Logger device. For further information on how to create a tag, refer to
“Registering the variables of each device – TAGS”.
3. Create a new historic and include the collect tag in the list of tags displayed in the HISTORIC PROPERTIES
window. Note that a historic with a collect tag cannot have any other tag. In cases where the download must start
automatically in a scheduled time, define time in the field TIME FOR DOWNLOAD FROM THE COLLECT TAG
shown in this window. The value in the field PHYSICAL TAG SAMPLE RATE is irrelevant in a historic, containing
one collect tag. To delete data from the Field Logger memory after download check the option CLEAR
DATALOGGER MEMORY AFTER DOWNLOAD. It is recommended to delete data logged to certify that there will
be no repeated data saved in the disk.
4. Include a historic object in an application form (in case it does not exist). Include the historic created in the previous
step in the list of historics of this object. Uncheck the box for this historic so that when supervision starts it will not be
enabled. For information concerning the historic object, refer to the “INCLUDING A HISTORIC LIST TYPE
OBJECT”.
FIELDLOGGER MEMORY DOWNLOAD (NEW GENERATION)
FieldLogger is a module for reading and registering analog, digital and other variables, with high resolution and speed. It
is about a high performance and high connectivity device, however easy to set up and operate. SuperView supports
FieldLogger, and thus, further to monitoring its variables, it is possible to download the device memory and transfer it to a
SuperView historic.
The steps below shall be followed:
1. A FieldLogger (New Generation) device shall be created, as shown on the figure below:
2. Once the device is created, a Collect Tag shall be created and the created device attributed.
