Data capture
The HDLog FBox records up to 10 values for a historical data evaluation.
The values are first saved in a buffer (RAM DB) and written to a CSV file
depending on the parameterization. The resulting files can therefore, for
example, be forwarded via an e-mail (see below, FBox family communica-
tion e-mail), read via FTP access or read and displayed via a web application.
In our example application, the energy data evaluation is performed with
this FBox.
E-mail
The e-mail function and integral SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) client enable PCD controllers to send process and system
information to an e-mail server via the Ethernet interface. Alarm, service and status messages – or any process information required –
can therefore be sent by e-mail to a management center and/or to service personnel. The data saved previously is sent as an attach-
ment. Convenient Fupla FBoxes are provided in order to use the e-mail functions.
Thus in our example, a limit value being exceeded can be reported directly to the responsible member of staff.
HDLog FBox
The FBoxes named above must now be positioned in the Fupla program, described and linked with each other.
We therefore have a finished Fupla program.

S-Bus energy meters
This FBox is used to read the energy meter using
the S-Bus interface.
The energy meter supplies the current power
consumption values of the consumers connected.
For the example above, the power and voltage
are used.
In the Symbol Editor it can be seen which tabs
and flags can be used.
Arithmetic FBoxes – Comparison
Is greater or equal to: Binary output is set if the
top input is greater than or the same as the
bottom input. Otherwise the binary output is not
activated. Signal if limit value is exceeded
