Edition: February 2008 95
7.14.2 Report generator – TrueBlend Reports
The messages from the TrueBlend
controller are sent through the mes-
sage capture and report program
“TB_Reports” to a computer.
Data can be outputted either through
the V 24 serial interface (RS232) or
the network port (cable connection to
the appropriate computer is required).
The serial interface V24 (RS232 can
be enabled from the “Over-
view/Settings” menu
ON = serial (V24/RS232)
OFF = network (UDP)
The transmitted message types are:
• Material data
• Batch data
• Alarm messages
• Scale data
• Recipes
Reports can be created from the data filtered by data, time and unit or IP address.
The reports can be displayed on screen and printed.
It is also possible to save the message files in csv format and read and edit them
in spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel. The TB_Report software pack-
age is available from Conair.
After starting the program
After starting the program the incoming messages are immediately received and
saved as a *.rpt file if the interface is connected and configured correctly.
There is no way to switch on or off the message capture in the TB_Report.
Material data, batch data, scale data and recipes are captured via
"TrueBlend Status/Settings/Reports". (optional software package)
Alarm messages are captured via "Overview/Settings".
