9.4 DATA LOGGING
During operation, the C-More Control Panel continuously monitors and logs data associated with
operational events, faults and sensor readings associated with the boiler or water heater system.
Descriptions of these data logs are provided in the following paragraphs. The basic procedure for
accessing each data log is described in paragraph 9.3, step 7.
9.4.1
Fault Log
The C-More Control Panel logs the last 20 faults (0 – 19) starting with the most recent (#0). They
can be viewed in the front panel display or via the RS232 port. The Fault Log cannot be cleared. If
the Fault Log already contains 10 faults, the earliest fault is overwritten when a new fault occurs. A
sample Fault Log display is shown in Table 9-1.
NOTE
The Operation Time (T) Log can store thousands of records. Therefore, to view
the most recently logged record, enter “T” followed by 0 (zero) and press Enter
(i.e. T0
and press Enter. To go back 200 or 1000 records, enter T200 or T1000, etc.
and press Enter.
9.4.2
Operation Time Log
The Operation Time Log consists of a string of ASCII records stored in non-volatile memory within
the C-More Control Panel. Events such as power-up, ignition and turn-off are time stamped. Data
logged while the unit is running are run-length encoded. Data is logged or the run-length
incremented every 30 seconds. For a new run record to be logged, the fire rate or flame strength
must change by more than 5%, or the run mode must change. At steady-state, the run-length is
allowed to reach a maximum of 30 minutes before the record is logged. This means that no more
than 30 minutes of data can be lost if the unit loses power. Table 9-2 shows a sample Operation
Time Log for a boiler:
