Process Reporting menu

Conditions

Step

  1. From the STATUS menu, choose “Process Report”
    1. The Process Reporting menu provides a database query type interface into your already logged process data.
    2. On this menu you can choose the following items.
      1. Application: Application to view data from.
      2. Report Type:  The report type is either User Defined from which the user can input the filters he wants to use, or the Report Type is considered a “canned” report, which is one provided as a default report type for the user where no other inputs are required.
      3. Filters: The user will have 5 filters to use. The filters are the data items being collected.  The comparator for the filter can be >, <, or =, and the user can specify the value to which to compare the field to.
      4. Outputs: The user will have 3 outputs for the report, the outputs will be the items being collected, and the user can specify a MIN, MAX, or AVG for the output item for the data set found for the filters.
    3. A report will be generated that shows all matching results of the filters.
    4. Filter 1 can be specified to be execution time so that you can filter on data from a specific date/time or range of time. Below is an example of a user defined filter.
    5. The results of executing the above setup report would be a listing of all the items found in the filtered set. Since we are limited to the number of histories we can store on the robot, for each weld, MIN, MAX, and AVG are calculated and stored until they are reset, this way you can have statistical data for a long time, and not just from your 50 or 100 history These are called GLOBAL STATISTICS.
    6. Press F4 to save the report results to the currently set device.  To change the device, use the [UTIL] feature on the File Menu.
    7. To clear the Process Data, press the NEXT key, and then press F6 CLR_DAT.  You will be prompted to confirm you want to clear the data.  The data can also be cleared remotely via a PLC by using the Digital inputs mapped in the $PRCREP.$DAT_RSET_DI, and reset confirmation echoed on $PRCREP.$DAT_RSET_DO.
