1. Overview Settings
In the SETTINGS, the parameters are specified which the elproMONITOR software uses for the current monitoring task. These parameters contain settings for
>> Device settings - Here all I/O modules for ECOLOG-PRO, ECOLOG-NET and the alarm interface as well as associated digital inputs, digital outputs, sensors and sensor groups are parameterized.
>> Profiles - All profiles for sensor limits (alarms, warnings), sensor faults, digital input profiles, receiver profiles, time control profiles, data destimation profiles and data export profiles are managed here.
>> Program - This is where scheduled exports, comment templates, e-mail recipient lists, SMS, system malfunctions and licenses are parameterized and managed.
>> User - Here you can make settings for your own user profile.
1.1. User Interface
The Settings overview is opened by clicking on the "Settings" menu item. The default view is the existing >> sensors of the >> device settings.
2. Sensors
The Sensors overview is opened by clicking on the "Sensors" menu item in the Settings menu.
General:
Sensor name
Name of the sensor for monitoring with elproMONITOR and for easy identification in the reports. The sensor must be provided with a unique name.Sensor status
This is an information field that reflects the current state (Enabled / Disabled) of the sensor. This field cannot be changed. The sensor is activated / deactivated in the monitor manually or automatically during a calibration.
Connection:
I/O module
Selection list with the available I/O modules. The sensor must be assigned to one of these I/O modules.I/O module channel
Selection list with all channels available at this I/O module. The sensor must be connected to one of these channels to receive its measured values. Only the channels that are still free are listed.Associated digital output
Selection list with the names of the available digital outputs. The sensor activates a digital output directly in the event of an error. (e.g. of an ECOLOG-PRO 4DO).
The parameterized internal contacts of ECOLOG-NET loggers (Alarm 1 and Alarm 2) cannot be controlled by elproMONITOR.
Recording:
Recording interval
At a restart, the 1st measured value is recorded when the first full interval is reached.
The recording of the data is synchronous. All measured values and statuses are recorded simultaneously. The interval can be specified individually for each sensor. The intervals 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minutes are possible.
To correct the interval of an existing sensor, it must be deleted or decommissioned and then added again.
The recording interval cannot be changed subsequently.
The two channels of ECOLOG-PRO 1THR and 2TH are interleaved. Once one of them has been defined, no other recording interval can be selected for the other one.
Time control profile
With a >> time control profile, the sensor can be controlled time-dependently for monitoring by elproMONITOR. An already defined profile can be selected from this selection list.
Description:
Sensor ID
In addition to the sensor name, serves as a further parameter for identifying the sensor.
For digital sensors (e.g. ECOLOG-PRO 1THR) the sensor ID can also be read out from the sensor
Sensor note
Text field for entering sensor-related information.
Profile Set A and Profile Set B:
The profile sets are used to assign the following >> profiles.
Profile for alarms due to limit violations.
Profile for receiver in case of alarms
Profile for warnings due to limit violations.
Profile for receiver in case of warnings
Profiles for sensor malfunctions
Profiles for receivers in the event of sensor malfunctions.
With >> Time control profiles it is possible to switch between Set A (default) and Set B. This is used to switch between different alarm limits, warning limits, evaluated sensor faults and the corresponding receiver groups.
List of existing sensor groups to which the sensor can be added or from which it can be removed.
The sensor must be assigned to at least one sensor group by clicking the "Add" button.
Sensors can also be assigned to several sensor groups, which are displayed under "Sensor group name".
