VIMSTM Features
Data for the machine is recorded in the onboard memory of VIMS 3G. The information is organized into categories. This information is used to analyze problems with the machine. The information is typically used at a later date by service technicians or management. The categories of information are listed here: Event List - The event list is a record of stored events and diagnostics that have occurred on the machine. Not all events are stored. The record contains the last 500 events and diagnostics that are listed in the order of occurrence. The newest events appear at the top of the list. The event list transfers the oldest data into the event summary list when the event list exceeds 500 records. The event summary list is composed of the first five occurrences, the last five occurrences, and the worst five occurrences recorded events. The event summary list is limited to storing 500 records.Snapshot - The snapshot stores a segment of history for all parameters (channels) at a 1 second interval. The snapshot relates to a set of predefined events. A snapshot is triggered automatically for a severe event. The snapshot is then stored in memory. The configuration software designates the events that are considered to be severe events. The trigger snapshot menu option in can be used to initiate a snapshot manually. A snapshot consists of all of the parameters that describe the conditions of the system. The snapshot records data from 5 minutes before the event to 1 minute after the event. This strategy is also applied to snapshots that are triggered immediately after turning the key on. However, a portion of the 5 minutes of data that occurred prior to the event was captured prior to turning the key off. This portion of data may have been stored hours or days before the event that triggered the snapshot. VIMS 3G has the capability of storing two sets of snapshot information. If a snapshot is in the process of being recorded and a second snapshot is triggered, the second snapshot will be recorded simultaneously . The snapshot information is accessible only with VIMSpc.Data Logger - The data logger captures all of the parameters that are monitored by VIMS. The data logger is recorded in 1 second intervals. The operation of the data logger is like the snapshot. Unlike a snapshot, the data logger cannot be triggered by an event. However, the data logger can be automatically started and stopped by parameters that are designated in the configuration. The manual triggering of the data logger can only be done by VIMSpc. The data logger can be started and stopped. The data logger has a total recording time of 60 minutes. The information that is recorded by the data logger is accessible only with VIMSpc and VIMSpc can reset the data logger.Trends - Trend information consists of the minimums, maximums, and averages of parameter data over time. Trend information is viewed with VIMSpc software. The trend information can
