‘HMIXXXX’ consist of HMI station network name and HMI ID.

5 Local Configuration(LOCALCFG)

The main functions of local configuration are as follow:

☆ Change local configuration
☆ View system configuration
☆ Download and update system configuration from configure station

5.1 Change & download local configuration

On the LOCALCFG main interface, the basic information about local IP address, installation path and log
path are the default setting that should not be changed.

5.2 View System Configuration
Click the ‘System’ item after the configuration file has been downloaded, the entire system configuration
including user, user group, security zone, alarm zone, HMI and control unit will show just like Figure 5.8.

Figure5.8 System configuration

The NT6000 system configuration information appears after clicking ‘View’ button. In addition, the
configuration can’t be changed in client.

6 Event Log(LOGVIEWER)

The event log software LogViewer can storage, filter, query operating record and system alarm, which have
been timed uploaded to log server everyday. The log server merges operating record and system alarm of all
stations into the complete event log.
A log server that can merge logs need to be predefined in the system. And the default log file path is
‘E:\LOGLIB’. Notice: the file save path of operator station must be same with log server’s.
The log server should start FTP service for other stations to timed upload log file. And the default username
of FTP service is ‘Logs’, password is ‘12345678’.

6.1 Menu
As shown in Figure 6.1, all the functions of the LogView are as follows:

Figure 6.1 LogViewer Menu

(1) Update: The operating records and system alarms will be updated to current time after clicking the

button .

27
 NT6000 eNet Manual
(2) Display all information: All the operating records and system alarms of the operator station are displayed

after clicking the button . In addition, this function will out-of-order when filter function has started.
(3) Sifting: The related content can be sifted by one or more icons on toolbar, the functions icons are as
follow:

System Information System Warning System Error

System Help Command Record Operation Record

Refuse instruction Alarm Disappear Technology Alarm

System Alarm Trouble Alarm Alarm confirmation

(4) Filter: Filtering log station name and username are used in the system as shown in Figure 6.2.

Figure 6.2 Log filter

Further more, operation records use station name filter way, and trouble alarms use username filter way.

(5) Find: Click the icon and find log files according to time or tag name (support wildcard ‘*’ and ‘?’), as
shown in Figure 6.3.

Figure 6.3 Log find

(6) Upload and merge log file: There are two file upload ways including timed automaticlly upload and
mamual upload. The former way will automatically upload file in a fixed time period everyday, the latter way
usually used in the following situations: log server has lost log file or user need to query log before the system
automatically upload log file.

File manual upload way will start after clicking the icon on toolbar just like Figure 6.4. Before clicking
‘Upload File’ button, you can select a certain station or all the stations and set fixed time period for uploading log
file.

28
 NT6000 eNet Manual
If you have selected ‘Upload and merge today’s log’ item, log server will merge these files into a complete
event log after finishing upload.
Notice: At first, the log server sends a upload request, if no response return in 10 minutes, the upload task in
the day will be cancelled, if log server receive the next response, the log files haven’t upload 15 days before will
be uploaded.

Figure 6.4 Log upload

(7) Manual merge log: Click the icon on toolbar, the merge log file dialog will pop-up as shown in
Figure 6.5.

Figure 6.5 Merge log file

If log server hasn’t record complete alarm log some day, user can merge the file (file path is:\\UPLOAD
\HMi1031\eNet\2009\07\lg20090710.log) that have record complete alarm log that day as a original file.
Notice: If the day or the program name of the two selected files are not same, a warning information prompts user
to reselect the correct file will pop-up.
