Secure Communication

Secure is secure

For each driver integrated statistics- and monitoring functions are available. But above all: thanks to its fully integrated status processing, zenon makes processes traceable.

Each variable carries a 64-bit status information, whereby each bit expresses a certain variable status. For example: spontaneous, faulty, replacement value, winter time, not updated as no server connection available, real time, recipe value successfully deposited, etc.

Eight status bits can be defined by the user - the rest are predefined. This status information is carried throughout the entire system. Therefore the status a data point has had is always traceable in the archive and the alarm administration. It can be immediately seen if a value is valid or if it has been set to be revised or to be replaced.

The successive archive calculation takes the status information into account - invalid values can be ignored for further calculations. Reactions to status information can occur graphically (i.e. through the combination element), as well as logically through reaction matrices.

An example: The status disturbed can trigger a color change to red as a warning and an entry in the CEL. The status information can be accessed with the recipe group manager, the report generator, or the VBA, in order to deactivate a variable or set a replacement value.
