You may register a report model to the project and output the report under the configured condition. To bring up the [Event Report] window, select [Tools] – [Event Report].
(1) Configuration of the Model
Item | Description | |
Model Name | Enter the name of the Report model. The name cannot duplicate. | |
Begin Time | Set the time value to begin the report data acquisition. You can set hour and minute. | |
Begin Condition | Set the condition to begin the report data acquisition. You can use the conditions such as ‘A tag value is greater than an assigned value’ or ‘When an alarm occurs’. | |
Output Time | Set the time value to output the report. You can set hour and minute. | |
Output Condition | Set the condition to output the report. You can use the conditions such as ‘A tag value is greater than an assigned value’ or ‘When an alarm occurs’. | |
Period Time | Set the time value of the data acquisition interval. You can set hour, minute and second. | |
Period | Set the condition of the data acquisition interval. You can use the conditions such as ‘A tag value is greater than an assigned value’ or ‘When an alarm occurs’. | |
Format | Select the report format. You can only select the Excel format. | |
Register Tag | Assigns the content and position of data which will be output in the report. | |
Custom Form | Assign the absolute path of the predefined report form as Excel file. | |
Delete Remain Data | The event report deletes the acquired data after report output. When you do not output the report and terminate the CIMON-SCADA, the acquired data are saved as ‘EventReport.mdb’ in the project folder. When you select this option, the remained data are deleted at the beginning of the new report data acquisition. | |
Output | Determines the output type of the report. When you select the option and deselect the [Print Out] option in [Register Tag], the report is saved only as a file. | |
To Save | Overwrite | Saves the report as an assigned file name. If a file with identical name exists, the file is overwritten. |
Change Name | Saves the report as a file named YYYYMMDDHHMM.xls. (YYYY: Year, MM: Month, DD: Day, HH: Hour, MM: Minute, xls: Excel file extension) | |
Attach | This function is currently not supported. | |
Save In | Saves the report file in the assigned path according to the option selected at ‘To Save’. | |
Overwrite | Assign the file name including the path. If the path is omitted, the report file is saved in the project folder. | |
Change Name | Assign the path where the report file will be saved. You can use [...] button to browse the folder. The path must be different from any other report model. | |
Add | Adds a new report model. | |
OK | Saves the change in the report model. | |
Delete | Deletes the selected report model. |
If you have not reset the ‘Begin Condition’, the event report model outputs the report only once and does not begin the data acquisition again. Therefore, to output the report continuously, you must reset the ‘Begin Condition’ after a report output.
(2) Register Report Data
Select [Register Tag] button in [Event Report] window to bring up the [Register Report Data] window. You can assign the contents and the position of the data to be saved in the report.
Item | Description |
Print Out | You can print the contents of selected sheet under the assigned condition, with the printer connected to your PC. |
Add Sheet | Enter the name of new sheet and press [OK]. The sheet name has to be identical to that of the form file. The name cannot duplicate. |
Delete Sheet | Deletes the selected sheet from the report data. |
Change Name | Changes the name of the selected sheet. The name cannot duplicate. |
Add Cell | Adds a new cell. You can enter the data to output at the report. |
Edit Cell | Edits a selected cell. |
Delete Cell | Deletes a selected cell from the sheet. |
OK | Saves the contents to the event report model and returns to the [Event Report] window. |
Cancel | Cancels the changes made in the window and returns to the [Event Report] window. |
The sheet name assigned in the CIMON-SCADA must be identical to that of the form file. Also, the sheets configured in the CIMON-SCADA must exist in the form file either.
(3) Edit Cells
Item | Description |
Cell | Assign a cell number where the data will be saved. E.g.) To write the value of ‘Tag1’ to the cell ‘C1’, you have to enter C1 in the ‘Cell’ field and ‘Tag1’ in the ‘Tag Name/Operation Expression’ field. When you assign the cell, you cannot use the cells in a same row, such as A1, A2, A3. The cells must be aligned in a column like A1, B1, C1. Also, even if the ‘Period Time’ is set as 1 second, you cannot acquire 86400 a day since the excel supports the maximum 65535 rows. |
Browse | Browse the tag from the Database. |
Tag Name / Operation Expression | When you enter the tag name, the report outputs the corresponding tag value. You can also enter the operation expression. |
Write Data | Writes the assigned tag value to the specified cell. |
OK | Saves the configuration and returns to the [Register Report Data] window. |
Cancel | Cancels the configuration and returns to the [Register Report Data] window. |
