The TRENDS Directory
The directory is only available if there are trends and/or data loggings defined in the
operator panel and the operator panel is running. The trend objects are shown as .skv
files with 0 length. It is only possible to read files. To read a file it must be opened
with the attribute READ. The attribute READWRITE will cause an error. Curve 1
must be used for a trend to be valid.
File Format
Each sampling is stored on a line ending with [carriage return][linefeed].
The file contains the following information:
date;time;value1;value2;value3;value4;value5;value6;OFF
The file ends with END[carriage return][linefeed].
Only the number of curves in the trend are transferred, i.e. no empty fields.
OFF is included in the sampling in the following cases, and indicates a pause in the
sampling.
– When the operator panel enters run mode, a copy of the last stored sampling is
added. The copy is marked with OFF. As soon as valid values reach the operator
panel, new values are stored without OFF marking.
– When the Trend-enable signal is used, should the signal go low the sample is
marked with OFF. When the signal goes high a new value is stored without OFF
marking.
– When stored trend values are transferred through FTP, a sample with OFF
marking will be stored. When the transfer is ready a new sample is stored without
OFF marking.
