Machine Log

The Machine Log window displays a list of the most recent 1000 events relating to a selected machine. These events are recorded at the DCM. Event types include

·	Job Related Events - start/end of a job or a job change;

·	Shift Related Events - start of a new shift or a shift idle period;

·	Down Events - start and end of down time periods;

·	Assist Events - start and end of assist time periods;

·	Process Alarm Events - time of a process exception, the actual "exception" value, and the limit it violated. Process exceptions are only logged, though, if the machine is not in a down state. If a process exception begins while a machine is down, the exception events are not logged for the machine.

·	Labor Events - login and logout of users on the selected machine

·	Material Events - material changes on the selected machine

For process alarms, the specific process variables that display on this window depend upon how a machine is defined. The process log field on the Machine Setup window controls which variables are included. There are three process log options:

·	All - Include all process variables for a machine

·	None - do not include any process variables

·	Critical - Include critical process variables only.

NOTE: The Machine Log window only updates if the scroll box is at the very bottom of the scroll bar. Events are updated every 60 seconds.
