This data will be saved in a partial data record that you will be able to determine from the
number of minutes accumulated.
12. You can extract the Keeper records from the drive with a USB flash memory device or
memory stick. (See “Storing Keeper Files” on page 53.) When you extract the data from the
drive, it will be presented to you in a comma-separated file (.csv) that can be opened in Excel.
The format of the data will be as follows:
The Date and Time represent the time the data was saved to the record. In this case, the
units of the Keeper function were configured to be GPM. The fourth column then indicates
the number of gallons pumped during the period ending at the Date and Time indicated. If
you were to configure the Keeper to units of LPS, this field would indicate Liters. The
period field indicates the number of minutes the drive was available to run during that
period. The KWHour field allows you to determine what energy was supplied to the drive
during the period.
5.9 Using the X5 Real-Time Clock and Other Special Features
If you use parameter 150 (Show Clock Param) to access the functionality of the X5 real-time clock,
a wide range of features is available. To do this, first change parameter 150 in Level 2 programming
mode to Ye s.
5.9.1 Enabling the X5 Based on Time of Day (TOD)
The X5 includes two “enable” windows that can control when the drive is allowed to run during the
course of a work day, Monday through Friday, and an additional “enable” window for weekends.
To use this enable function, select the time in your time zone (parameter 151, Time Zone Setup)
and the clock hour in 24-hour military time for both enable and disable times. The following table
shows both weekday enable functions and the additional weekend function (Saturday and Sunday),
and which parameters can be set for the time frame.
These TOD enable functions allow the drive to operate unattended for long periods of time and to
turn off equipment when not needed, eliminating the need to remember to shut the equipment off.
The drive can also be operated when power costs are generally lower, adding to the overall efficiency
of the application. Over time, this set of functions can result in substantial savings.
It should be noted that in spite of the automation feature, the drive can be manually overridden (to
operate when not enabled, perhaps for maintenance) by using a suitably programmed digital input.
It is also possible to transmit the information that the drive is being overridden, via one of the digital
outputs. Note that the drive must receive a normal RUN command during the enabled period for it
to operate.
