4.1.2.6 Storing and Transmitting Recorder Data
Data Storage
SICAM P850/P855 features an internal 2-GB data storage for storing the recorder data. You can manually pa-
rameterize the data volume that can be stored for each recorder from 0 % to 100 %:
SICAM P850:
• Measurement recorder: 60 % to 90 %
• Fault recorder: residual capacity (min. 10 %)
SICAM P855:
• Measurement recorder: 33 % to 65 %
• Fault recorder: 3 % to 35 %
• Event recorder: 1 % to 33 %
• Trend recorder: residual capacity (min. 31 %)
When the maximum storage capacity is exceeded, the oldest data are overwritten with the up-to-date data.
The data is output as time-stamped list. The period of time over which data are output can be parameterized.
Data Transmission
Data are transmitted from the internal 2-GB memory as HTTP download with the data types COMTRADE
(fault recorder data), PQDIF (measured recorder, trend recorder), or CSV (measurement recorder) see
SICAM P850/P855 System Manual, Chapter Communication.
