Event List
Event list is available via MasterView 320. It can be presented on the terminal screen and
printed on a printer connected to the controller. A separate list is associated with each screen.
The event generation is configured with PC programs, using PC element EVENT. Event texts
are user defined. The time of each event is automatically incorporated, with a resolution
determined by the scanning cycle of the PC program where the event is generated.
Hard Copy
A printer, connected to the same Advant Controller 450, can be used for hard-copy printouts
from MasterView 320. The printout can be activated from the keyboard, or automatically from
an PC program in the controller. The hard-copy function of MasterView 320 can be used for
efficient report generation with the controller. All necessary calculations of report data is done
with PC programs. The report is built with the normal display generation functions of
MasterView 320. Once the report is defined, the video terminal is not required any more, only
the hard-copy printer. Printout is then activated from PC programs. Thus reports can be
generated at regular points in time or on special events.
2.12 Local Printer
With a printer, directly connected to the Advant Controller 450 via the submodule CI531,
reports (generated in AMPL report function) or report/event lists from MasterView 320 can
be printed.
