The PlantProtech™ Auto Archive Downloader provides automatic file retrieval from remote sites to a central location (e.g. Technology Centre) for rapid review.
The application has the additional dual functionality of data archiving, either to local IT infrastructure, or to a central Technology Centre, etc.
The PlantProtech™ Auto Archive Downloader application has been designed to automatically retrieve data files and alarm logs from Beran PlantProtech Analysers, either on demand or at a scheduled time. The retrieved data from multiple PlantProtech Analysers may then be:
The Auto Archive Downloader is scalable from one PlantProtech Analyser to fleet-wide installation, and may be purchased as a single application to provide either archiving or data file downloading capability, or both.
The archiving function automatically downloads PlantProtech Analyser data files to a central location and manages the internal data storage.
The PlantProtech Auto Archive Downloader operates on a standard Microsoft Windows platform, and the application supports download of files via network or dial-up modem connections.
Specified at the time of purchase, there are two main modes of functionality:
Automatic File Downloading
Data files and alarm logs are automatically downloaded from PlantProtech Analysers installed on site(s). The user can configure file types to be downloaded using the in-built user interface.
During the download process, the files may be converted into “open” PC or VAX formats.
The application may also be driven from a command line.
Automatic Archiving Functionality
Configuration of this functionality is very simple - the IP address or dial-up name of the target PlantProtech Analyser is specified, along with the frequency of required backup.
Downloaded data files are marked as 'archived' on the PlantProtech Analyser. The Analyser will then automatically manage free disk space, deleting archived files, as configured by the user.
Configurations stored on the PlantProtech Analyser are also archived during the process.
It is recommended that the data is further backed-up to a long-term storage medium using a third party industry standard IT solution.
Downloaded data may be analysed and reviewed using the PlantProtech Vision and PlantProtech BaseStation applications.
