Network Functions in the Operator Panel

Root Library
The root directory (current operator panel name) contains the following directories,
ALARMS, HTML, RECIPES, TRENDS and IMAGES directory. See the section
The IMAGES Directory for further information. Only the directories the user (ac-
count) has access to are shown. There is also a text file, info.txt, containing informa-
tion about the operator panel.
The File info.txt
The file info.txt contains information on the operator panel in accordance with the
following example:
E1070
Firmware version: V1.00
Build number: 35
Driver1: Modbus Master 4.00.06
Driver2: DEMO 4.00.10
Dynamic memory:13107200 bytes free
Project memory: 1717867 bytes free
IP address:192.168.98.145
Nothing can be deleted from the root directory, not even by a user with write access.
If the directories HTML or RECIPE are deleted, the contents of the directories will
be deleted, but the directories will remain. The project memory information is dis-
played only if the PSCE command is used - see section Commands.
The ALARMS Directory
The directory is only shown if there is an alarm defined in the operator panel and the
operator panel is running. The alarm groups are shown as .skv files with 0 length.
This does not necessarily mean that there are no alarms. The files can only be read.
To read a file it must be opened with the attribute READ. The attribute READ-
WRITE will cause an error.
File Format
Each alarm is stored on a line ending with [carriage return][linefeed].
The file contains the following information:
status;activedate;activetime;inactivedate;inactivetime;ackdate;acktime;alarmtext
All fields are always there. If the alarm is not acknowledged, the fields for date and
time will be empty.
The file ends with END [carriage return][line feed].
