2. Introduction

SMART is a windows based software, which supports Modbus (RS485, TCP-IP) device
products. It provides true data collection and monitoring function; such collected data will be
view in tabular, graph, zoom observation, and dynamic transfer to file without any need for
annoying programming. This software is “Scalable Monitoring, Archiving & Reporting Tool”
so-called SMART.

Its unique concept combines three key functions (Monitoring, Logging and Reporting), which
position SMART as the most convenient data logging solution for the industrial automation.
Software is design to streamline the process of downloading data and reviewing it in a user-
friendly, time efficient manner. The software offers many customizable features and options,
software includes many types of reports, and it includes displays like tabular and trend,
independently set scale units, including the ability to change engineering units, multiple device
communication.

The main requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 are data security, data integrity, traceability/audit
trails and electronic signatures. Data security and data integrity are maintain by requiring
users to login with a valid user name and password. There are then permission tables that
delineate what a user has access to and what that user has the ability to do. Anything has
been done with the data is logged to the audit trail, thus maintaining the integrity of the data.
Capturing the – who, what, when, and why of data modifications is the requirement of the
traceability/audit trails requirement. These data are capture automatically and includes the
user name, the date and time, and what was change. The data is not captured is why the data
was modified. This data cannot be modify. It is all permanent and readily available in human
readable format.

SMART meets the functional requirements for the use of electronic records and
electronic signatures.

The Masibus recommends for the software architecture, conception, and configuration will
assist users in achieving compliance.

Thank you for choosing SMART for all of your data logging needs.

Within the first upper tab titled, many different options appear. Below is a brief description of
every item.

4.2.1 File Menu

 The File Menu offers following commands.

Report Settings
 Use this command to edit the details of the Query - Scan Rate (100msec to 60min), Data –
Logging Rate (1sec to 60min), Company Name and Logo path which will be export with PDF
report OR in the report printed, Last Value Hold (Software holds old data value once device(s)
communication with software gets lost if selected).

 By default report settings information is as shown in above screen. When user click SAVE, it
will updated the information for future use.

 Note that setting the scan rate lower than the transaction time does not make sense. If a
serial connection at 9600baud is used and 125 registers are requested the transaction time is
roughly 8 + 2 + 250 + 2 = 262ms + the gap (>3.5 char time) between the request and the
response. In this case setting the scan rate at e.g. 100ms do not make sense as the
transaction time is at least 262ms + delay in the slave (gap) + min time between polls. The
default value you can modify by above wizard.

Design Reports
 No database server, no SQL
programming, no report designer but
still you have all those reports.

 The reports are generate in the form

of a data table and export in the file
format. All saved (as long as they
have not permanently deleted) report
templates will be located in Data
Report wizard. There are many types
of reports to fit the user’s need, which
will be explain in further section to
view the data of a report and export in
a file format. The user defined report
templates should be create from
Design Reports menu.

mode or masibus device configuration
mode. You can use “Configuration”
navigation to read or write masibus
device parameters configuration.

4.3.1 Device Network

 Device network configuration navigation tree will
shows the added devices with its communication
parameter detail which has been use for monitoring,
logging, trends and reporting.

 First row shows the network name, then after com

port for modbus RS485 or IP address for modbus
TCP-IP. After it all added devices with its respective
slave ID in order of adding it to network.

 User can configure more than one network at a time as shown above with modbus RS485
and modbus TCP-IP. How to configure device netwok will discusse in next section.

4.3.2 Network & Devices

 Network & Devices navigation will allow user to add or
remove network configuration, devices and auto search for
masibus devices.

the transfer mechanism. This input accepts the
following values (None, XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS,
XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR,
XON/XOFF and DTR/DSR).
 Serial Stop Bits - specifies the number of stop
bits used to indicate the end of a frame. This
input accepts the following values (1-stop bits, 1.5
stop bits and 2 stop bits).
 The recommended arrangement of the wires is as
a connected series of point-to-point (multidropped)
nodes, i.e. a line or bus, not a star, ring, or
multiply connected network.

 TCP/IP - To configure network with modbus TCP-IP protocol user can select TCP/IP from
radio button, the list of parameters will shows as
screen.
 IP Address – is the address with which you want
to establish a connection. This address can be in
IP dot notation. If you do not specify an address,
SMART establishes a connection to the local
computer.
 Port – is the local connection port.
 Time Out - specifies the time, in milliseconds, for
the write and read operations. The default is 1000.
 Delay b/w Polls - To allow the throttling of data
request to the slave device the value entered is
the delay time between read requests. Delay
between polls is good because reduce a burden
of server in case of many devices connected to it.
 Query Retry – Retry count is counter, that
defines maximum number of unsuccessful tries of
calling one slave. If slave do not respond such
defined times in row, the master will stop
querying.

Discover Device
 By This feature user can find the masibus device
It will search masibus devices in configured

5. SMART Trend

SMART provides two types of display for online monitoring. These are trends and tabular. A trend log
is a collection of time-stamp values. A trend type display is used for bar or line graph for one or more
parameters.

 Interval - The rate at which the trend refresh it display, even a new value is available with it.
The interval time must be greater than or equal to data logging rate.

 Display Span - There are selectable time spans for these displays, this is specifies for all
trend. You set the trend time span of the x-axis relative to the series current end time to
automatically adapt the trend to display the current time and the latest records within the
specific time span. After 24 hours, the trend will discarded data records and left it for history
trend.

 Display Properties - Display properties are specifies for each individual trend. By default,
SMART assigns a separate color to each of the trend and all other properties are same.
Note: You can select up to 06 tags in a trend simultaneously.

 Auto Scale Axis (Locking the Vertical Scale of a Graph) - You use the auto range function
to automatically adjust the trend x-axis and y-axis according to the range of the series
displayed. The vertical scale of a graph can be lock to prevent any automatic adjusting from
occurring when new data is add. Any values that lie outside the displayed range will not resize
the graph view. To navigate in the trend in small steps, you scroll the x-axis in steps equal to
the displayed page of the trend. To navigate in the trend in big steps, you click on previous or
next button to displayed trend.

 Export Trend Data - Using an export data, the user can print OR export the data to a PDF
report with tag information, scaling details and trend Information. User need to fill-up and
select which data & option they want to export with trend.

 Zooming in a trend chart - Trend charts are a way to graphically present trend logs. A trend
chart can contain one or more trend logs that are represent in the trend chart by lines or bars.
You can also add and remove trend logs from a trend chart. This makes it easy to compare
different trend logs, for example the energy consumption compared to the average
temperature.
