To save the data permanently, the log files can be exported. How often this is necessary depends on the size and use of the entire
system:
In the case of very large systems, it is usually sufficient to back up the data about once a month in order to have a closed history of all
battery data in an emergency. Data from a very large system, which very often changes to the discharge state due to usage, should be
saved more frequently accordingly.
What are all these data used for?
Yes, why should you keep the data ... a good question!
As already mentioned, deep analyzes and a qualified current battery system health status can be generated as well as status reports for
time windows needed for the maintenance work. Indicators such as a steadily increasing internal resistance reflect the natural aging
process of a battery and indicate the end of use. In case of system malfunction, all these data are also useful for a reconstruction of the
incident, because the battery data help to classify the malfunction in a clear and unambiguous timeline.
They provide valuable additional insights and help to improve the safety net and demonstrate weak points within the UPS solution.
Special applications, on the other hand, can be better planned and implemented because, for example, the findings could be used
within a simulation program and proof-of-concept studies can be carried out for future UPS concepts.
So there are a few reasons to back up this data - the value of this data depends on what you want to do with it.
Note:
After a long discharge cycle, it takes a some time for the batteries to be recharged. We recommend picking up and analyzing the data
after charging process is finished:
Not only for saving data, you can also see directly whether the batteries have been correctly recharged - you will get valuable
information about the current state of health of the entire system. You can instruct the BACS WEBMANAGER to inform you as soon as
the batteries are fully charged.
BACS will inform you if:
... there are complications in which an intervention is inevitable or imminent.
... the loading process was successfully completed.
Retrieve BACS log data
There are different options to get the BACS log files
Via Web interface
For this step you need the following menu:
The BACS log files can be downloaded directly from the BACSLog menu.
For the evaluation, we recommend the professional analysis tool BACS Viewer, which is available as freeware in the download area of
our website www.generex.de.
The BACS WEBMANAGER provides two different options:
:
Download archive
You can call up all available log files directly via the integrated web interface. The data is packed in real time and the download starts
automatically as soon as the file is available. Please note, that the time window to generate the data strongly depends on the amount of
available data.
