Hello farcanal; Here is a description of the Discare setting I have found in a manual for Sinumerik HMI: http://www.automation.siemens.com/doconweb/pdf/SINUMERIK_SINAMICS_10_2008_E/IHA.pdf%3Fp%3D1 I hope this is what you were looking for. Extracted from Sinumerik 840 HMI Advanced (IM4) 22 Commissioning Manual, 01/2008 Setting the storage location for the alarm log Function Two different methods are available saving the alarm profile on the hard disk. The application and the disk load must be taken into account when selecting which method to use. The required entries are made in the MBDDE.INI file. Writing to alarm files always places a load on the same hard disk region. Various methods can be chosen with the following control options. There are a number of strategies for reducing the load on the disk. Multiple log files can be maintained in parallel on the disk. With the multiple file strategy, the next file is selected each time the HMI is booted. This reduces the load on the disk hardware, both in the data area as well as the directory information area. In addition, this strategy detects physical disk errors in the data area on startup and avoids them by reallocating memory space. The multiple file strategy can also be selected using the following entry in the file mbdde.ini. [PROTOCOL] DiskCare The following values are possible: DiskCare=-1 The MBDDE server controls the alarm log in the memory. The alarm log is saved on the hard disk if it is displaced in the operator area"Diagnostics" of if the key <Alarm Cancel> is pressed. DiskCare=0 The data is written to the log file immediately. DiskCare=n Changes of the alarm state are written to the log file if no change occurs in n seconds. In addition, the following applies: The alarm log is saved on the hard disk if it is displayed in the operator area "Diagnostics" of if the key <AlarmCANCEL> is pressed. DiskCare=-n n>1 specifies the number of parallel alarm files. The file "mbdde.ini" is evaluated when booting. The unused alarm files and the current log file are located in the mmc2 directory. The names of these hidden files (attribute "hidden") consist of an 8-digit hexadecimal number with the extension ".alr". The names of files in which write errors are detected when booting also consist of an 8-digit hexadecimal number, but with the extension ".al_". Hope this helps, Daniel; Chartier |
