Report Generator

The Report Generator supports with the documentation, analyzation, and presentation of process data. It is fully integrated into zenon through a convenient tabular and cell-oriented user interface. Online and archive data are consistently accessible, just like entries by the alarm and event management (AML/CEL) and the recipe data (RGM) of zenon. Manual entries can be made in a report, and values can be read.

Furthermore, the standards/directives rule sheet 13 and ATV H260 are supported. Additionally the zenon Report Generator allows the documentation of any amount of batches in a report as well as the creation of protocols according to ISO 9000.

Reports of any size and form that have been created in a development environment can be displayed, edited, printed out or exported at any time in the zenon Runtime. Printing out and exporting can even happen time-controlled in the background.

Reports can also be edited or newly created during the Runtime. And with reports it is possible to change historical values as well as online values. This way it is possible, for example, to manually input lab values, which are then added to the corresponding archive. Of course manually input values are earmarked with a status bit. Target values are deposited directly from the report to the facility.
