SMX Programming Manual for the SMX Module - OEM Automatic AB

The Scope Monitor
Parameterization of drive monitoring requires exact knowledge of process data
when viewed from the SMX-system. Knowledge about the temporal course of speed,
acceleration and position is of utmost importance. Only this enables the setting of
correct threshold values and limiting parameters.
All available graphics functions read the required process data ONLINE from the
active basic SMX-group through the communication interface for time-based
representation. Up-to-date values are inserted at the right border of the Scope
Monitor, moved further to the left during recording, until they finally disappear at the
left border of the screen. Although these data have disappeared from the visible
window, they are still maintained in a buffer memory and can still be moved back into
the visible area by sliding the scroll bar below the graphics window.
Note: With an active Scope Monitor the output of debugging of process image and
logic diagram is hidden and the diagnostics tabulator is blocked throughout the
connection dialog. These data cannot be made available in this mode.
