XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – This function allows you to define the functioning attributes and the working features of the instruments themselves. The user is required to preventively decide the list of these features. Lately, when working with the Device configuration, each device can be easily configured with these appropriate attributes. Some categories can be defined also with “Default”. In this case the category is initially proposed as default during the instrument configuration.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 3.3.2.3 RTC SYNCRONIZATION In this section user can decide how often to synchronise the controller equipped with a real time clock. Interval is expressed in hh:mm. The maximum value accepted is 12:00. It means that every 12 hours a synchronise-command is sent to the controller. To enable a controller, the user has to go to the “Devices” page and check the “RTC Sync” checkbox.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – 3.3.3 SCHEDULER This is a powerful tool for managing category and repetitive commands. Now it is possible to send command to a set of controllers and have a “visual” chart. This feature, for instance, is very useful to avoid command time-overlap. To start the “Scheduler”, use the drop-down menu “Configuration”, then “Scheduler”. This window will appear (Java is required): On the bottom there is a timeline (00:00 to 24:00), each hour is marked with a vertical line.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 Fill in “Class Name” field, then pick up a Category. Wait for the complete list of the controller. Check all the controllers you want to send a command and push “Add Command event”. If you want to manage a timescheduled printout, please choose “Add printing Event”. Choose a command, then fill in “Activation Time”. Choose a marker and its colour. Push “Confirm” to add this event to the Scheduler.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – For instance the “The fast selection” set to “H.A.C.C.P Probe 1” produces the following output: It is shown Site name “XWEB 500”, printout name “H.A.C.C.P. printout”, date and time, address of the controllers, name of the controllers and analog values. • EDIT CLASS Use this menu to modify an existing class. 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag.

XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – Choose a Name and a colour. Mark “Yearly” option if you want this day definition applied to all available years. When you defines a new day, please note that the system automatically uses the command chart present in that moment in your PC screen. This means that the first time you start working with the scheduler the default day is displayed. Point a day, then with left mouse button click on it. A menu with all the available day definitions will appear.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 It is possible to filter all the command sent using “From”, “To” and Class. • SHOW COMMANDS • SHOW PRINTINGS This menu filters only the commands. This menu filters only the printing events. Days submenu: • DAYS It allows to switch between different days definition. 3.3.3.1 PRINTING EVENTS If you want to manage a time-scheduled printout, please choose “Add printing Event”.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – Choose a command, then fill in “Activation Time”. Choose a marker and its colour. Push “Confirm” to add this event to the Scheduler. After having selected “Add Printing Event”, use the drop-down menu “Fast Selection”, or if you prefer you can also select all the analog values manually. Insert the time schedule “Activation Time” and the “Marker Colour”. Press “Confirm” For instance the “The fast selection” set to “H.A.C.C.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 It is shown Site name “XWEB 500”, printout name “H.A.C.C.P. printout”, date and time, address of the controllers, name of the controllers and analog values. 3.3.3.2 USING THE SCHEDULER Once you have created a schedule it is possible to check or modify an existing event in a very simple way. Use left mouse button and click on it. If there is a marker overlapping (this means that 2 or more events start at the same time), the applet will show you a brief list of all the event available.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – 10/01/2006- 1592010900 Pag.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 3.3.4 ALARMS 3.3.4.1 ALARM TYPOLOGY AND ALARM LEVELS The alarm typology is a list of alarm events designed by the user to describe the possible alarms that the instruments can generate. In this way similar alarm events can be grouped together under a unique identification label, so high and low temperature alarms can be defined as “Temperature alarms” or the high and low pressure alarms belong to “Pressure alarm” identification.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – 3.3.4.2 DESTINATION OF THE ALARM MESSAGES The list of the destinations contains the users (directors, maintenance personnel, assistance etc.) enabled to receive the alarm notification. The XWEB 500 is capable of transferring the alarm message through Fax or e-mail. • To insert a new item Click into the field “Name” and insert the appropriate word or words. Click on “Insert” to add the new value. • To change the setting Click into Selection and find the desired item from the list.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 • Insert a new Alarm Level and the attributes Click into “Name” and insert the word(s) that better represents the alarm e.g.: ”Severe Alarm”. • To insert the Receiver Select the Receiver. Click the kind of procedure to send the alarm (Fax, E-mail). Click on “Insert” to add the new item. To modify an item Select the item from the “Selection” roll down menu. Modify the appropriate fields. Click on “Modify”. To delete an item Select the user to delete. Click on “Cancel”.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – unique definition. For instance all the temperature alarms that are not important can be defined by a typology named as “Normal Alarm” while the temperature alarms of the frozen food can be identified by the typology “Severe Alarm”.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 The XWEB 500 use the Calendar as filter before activating the resource itself, if the resource is not Enabled in that period nothing happens. The alarm procedure to inform an Assistance Centre or the light on function can be override by their appropriate Calendar programming. The number of Calendars is not limited and each Calendar can manage more than one resource.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – Repeat the operation for “Sunday”. The tiles become grey. Click with the left button of the mouse on the rose tile “Wednesday” and select “Set As Weekly Partly Enabled”. The tiles become yellow. • Define the period of activity of a day (Eg: from 08:00 to 20:00 for Enabled day and from 08:00 to 13:00 for Partly Enabled). Under the “Individual Day Time Band” click into “From” and set 08:00 then click into “To” and set 20:00.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 All the working days (Enabled) will follow the new times. Repeat the same operation to define the new period for the Partly Enabled days but clicking on “ Set for All Partly Enabled ” • DAY ATTRIBUTE To verify the day attribute point the mouse arrow into the appropriate day and click the right button.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – • Select a limited period of days To define a common attribute only to some days. This allows to set a holiday period for one or more desired months of the year. • • • • Point the mouse on the first day desired, click the left button. Keeping the left button pushed move the pointer slightly through the next days to be included. Release the mouse button and select the proper attribute, all the selected tiles will change into the new corresponding colour.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 3.3.6 DEVICE CONFIGURATION The configuration of the devices allows to assign the appropriate monitoring system attributes. The configuration is subordinated to the manual or automatic search procedure to create a list of the available instruments. For each kind of device XWEB 500 will show only the specific information of the controller itself and the attributes of the available digital and analogue inputs of the instrument.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – If the instrument has not been already renamed the identification name is: “New_Model-name” where: • • “New” means that the name has been assigned automatically by the system; “Model-name” define the instrument model. Instead of “xxx_New_Model” the user can insert the new appropriate name for this instrument. 3.3.6.2 ASSIGN THE NAME OF THE CONTROLLER After selecting the device, click into the “Name” field. Insert the new name such as “Frozen food_001”.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 3.3.6.3 ASSIGN THE CATEGORY TO THE DEVICE “DEVICE CATEGORY SETUP” Be sure of having selected the right instrument under the “Device” menu. Depending on the instrument model there are different available categories to define the attributes of the instrument itself. If you do not find the right one maybe it is not defined or it is not available for that instrument.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 – NAME: The first time each name is displayed by following the internal XWEB 500 archive of standard feature of the instruments. Each definition can be renamed when necessary to give the proper meaning. Beware of the difference between integer and decimal value. Instruments are factory preset to decimal point, so if you change this value to integer you need to make the same change inside XWEB 500.
XWEB 500 – rel.1.0 In the upper part you can see information concerning the name of the instrument that the system will use as base model (“Source device”). In our example we have a XJP60D whose name is “Acq. module 1”. It is possible to change the name of the “Target device” by clicking in the field “Name”. By clicking “Clone” button XWEB 500 begins to broadcast this setup to all the compatible instruments. Once it has finished a summarising window will appear.
