This document provides information to assist in using the versatile and advanced data
and event log function of the controller ORION.
The first part of the document, the chapter 2 "Description of the log function", provides an
overview about the logging function, its capabilities and the configuration possibilities.
The latter part provides step by step instruction to the usage of the log function.
The ORION can handle up to 18 user defined log configurations and additionally there is
a Default Log to store system messages.
The “Continuous” log runs always, except if manually paused or stopped by the user.
After a controller reset or configuration upload, a stopped log restarts automatically. As
long as the file splitting condition is not met the log entries are stored in the same file.
This type of log can be used to record the system voltage or battery temperature
variations along the system life.
The event controlled log runs and records entries when the chosen control event is active
(true) unless it is manually stopped or paused by the user. When the event is inactive
(false), then the log is idle, and no entries will be recorded.
The user must select a control event from the available configured events, in order to
command the running or idle state of a log.
Useful control events are for example “battery test active” and timer and latch type of
events.
In addition to the control event, the user can define a save event. If the save event is
used, the recorded data is saved only in case the save event is activated while the log is
running. In other words, all the log entries that have been recorded when the log was
running will be discarded if the save event has not been active (true) during this time.
A save event can be used for example with the natural battery test, where the log entries
need to be stored only if the “S NaturalBT” event changes to true during the mains failure.
Every time the control event is activated and a log state changes to “running”, it is
considered as a new log sequence. The user can define where the log entries of a new
sequence will be stored:
• Overwrite existing file means the log file of the last sequence will be deleted
and the log entries of the new sequence will be written into a new log file.
• Start new file means the new log entries will be saved into a new file, the files
of the older sequences will remain in the storage memory.
The option “Start new file” is useful with battery test data in order to separate the test
results into different log files.
When the ORION restarts and the configured control events are active at this time, then it
is considered as a new log sequence, not as a continuation of the preceding sequence
before the ORION was restarted. As a consequence, if the file management condition
“Start new file” is selected, a new log file is created for the new log entries, or if the file
management condition “Overwrite existing file” is selected, the latest log file is cleared
and a new log file is created for the new log entries.
In some countries the operators share the basic infrastructure of the sites including the
power supply system. A tower operating company or one of the operators owns the
power supply system and sells energy to the other users. Therefore, the energy supplied
to each load string needs to be measured separately by the system controller.
Some power systems contain renewable energy components like solar converters and/or
wind turbines. To monitor the obtained energy, the respective visualization and statistics
functions are implemented. Following values are logged:
• Energy today
• Energy of the last 30 days. Each day is listed separately.
• Energy this month
• Energy of the last 12 months. Each month is listed separately.
• Energy this year
• Energy of the last years. Each year is listed separately.
2.2 Sampling
The sampling criteria define when to generate a log entry. There are two sampling criteria
to choose from and they can also be used at the same time.
• When Fixed interval sampling is chosen, the log entries are captured based
on the time interval defined in the log configuration.
• When Measurement based sampling is chosen, the log entries are captured
whenever the change in a selected measurement exceeds the delta-threshold
defined in the log configuration.
The following table gives an overview about the existing system messages and their
meaning:

• If circular buffer is selected, the log file splitting is deactivated. Therefore the
Log is limited to one log file. When the limit is reached, the newest log entry
overwrites the oldest one, as it would be the case for a ring buffer.
• If limit number of entries is selected, the number of log entries per log file
will be limited by a set parameter Max Entries per file. As soon as the limit is
reached, the log entries recording is continued in a new log file. The older log
file is kept in storage memory.
For an energy log file splitting cannot be chosen. Everything is stored in one file.
Exceptions:
A log configuration can have up to 20 log files. When this limit is reached, the oldest log
file will be deleted before creating a new one.
Every time a new log file for a log configuration is created, six digit number in its name is
increased by one. When no log file exists, then the first number is the number 000001.
During the “Out of storage memory” state, most of the log configurations will not be able
to record new log entries. Nonetheless, Default Log and Log which overwrites older
samples still continue recording as long there is still some storage memory left.
In order to free up some storage memory, the user may delete some old log files, or
delete running log files having a big size. Some other unnecessary files may also be
deleted from the file manager web page.
If the information in the file is important to the user, then the file may be uploaded to an
external storage before deleting it from the ORION storage memory.
Step 2 Select the log type “Event controlled” or “Continuous” or “Energy” from drop-
down list.
Step 5 Select the control event from drop-down if “event controlled” is used.
Step 1 Click “Edit” button of the new log configuration on the page Home → Log →
Setup.
Step 2 Write the description of the log in the Description field on the Log Editor page
that has automatically opened.
Step 1 Enable either Measurement Based Sampling or Fixed Interval Sampling or both
of them.
Step 4 Click “Accept Changes” to confirm the selection and return to Log Editor page.
Step 5 Set the value for the delta threshold in the field “When Changed at least”.
Step 6 If the Fixed Interval Sampling is enabled, set the value for the sampling interval.
Use this procedure to define which events are captured immediately when their status
changes.
Step 2 Select the events from the list and click “Add”.
Step 3 Click “Back” when all desired events are visible in the list of Selected Captured
Events.
Step 4 Select “Capture all System Messages” if you want to include all system
messages in this log.
Note! The system messages are automatically logged into the Default Log.
Use this procedure to select the language, to define how many entries are stored in a file
and what happens when the limit is reached.
Step 2 Select either “circular buffer” or “limit entries” to the File Splitting strategy.
Use this procedure to select the start and save events and to define what happens when
the log restarts.
Step 3 Select either “append to existing file”, “overwrite existing file” or “start new file” to
define the behaviour when the log restarts.
Note! If no Save Event is selected, the log file will be automatically saved.
Step 2 Click “Stop” to stop the log configuration you need to edit.
Step 4 Click “Accept Changes” when all the changes are done.
Step 2 Click “Files” of the log configuration you are interested in.
Step 2 Click “Setup” of the log configuration you are interested in.
Step 2 Click “Files” of the log configuration you are interested in.
Step 3 Click the link “Save to PC” of the log file you want to export.
Step 2 Click “Files” of the log configuration you are interested in.
Step 3 Check the “Delete” box beside the file you want to delete.
Note! You need to delete all the files of a log configuration first before the log
configuration can be deleted.
Step 2 Click “Stop” button of the log configuration you want to delete.
Step 2 Select the check box “Delete” of the log configuration you want to delete.
