Reports

inSCADA provides a simple, convenient method for reports. This method allows you to generate your basic reports for your facility of installation within a few minutes.

Figure 1 : Development - Reports

On the screen shown in Figure 1, the tables in panels A, B, C and D are linked to each other as Master-Detail.

To create a report, we need to enter the configuration parameters via the panels shown in Figure 1.

Figure 2 : Sample Report

Reports

In this section, we create the main configuration settings of our report. By clicking the button in the upper right corner of the panel, we open the Add/Edit form and create our definitions.

Figure 3 : Report Add/Edit Form

Project

Choose the project for which the report will be generated.

Name

Report name. This is also the left-handed title that will appear on the report output.

Description

Report description. This is also the right-handed title that will appear on the report output.

No

Report number. The report appears in the upper left corner.

Period

Determines which base-period the report will be in. In inSCADA, reports can be set daily on an hourly basis and monthly on a daily basis.

Print

Specifies whether to send the report to the printer.

Report Time

The report time determines the interval at which the report calculations are performed. Report Hour; the start and end time of the day, Report Day; determines the start and end day of the month. Thus, when a daily report is made, the daily calculations are calculated based on the defined hours interval. Likewise, monthly calculations are made based on the defined day interval in monthly reports.

Print Time

Activated if Print is selected. Defines the time at which the report is automatically sent to the printer.

We are done configuring part of the sample report in Figure 2.

Report Groups

This is where the sub-groups, labeled B, are identified, as shown in Figure 2. By clicking the button at the top right of the panel, we open our Add/Edit form and save our definitions.

Figure 4 : Report Group Add/Edit Form

The report that we created in this section on the form is automatically selected in the Report section. Here we create our sub-groups that depend on our report.

Name

Report group name. The group name that appears in the report output.

Group Order

Determines the order of groups from left to right on the output.

We are done configuring part B of Figure 2.

Report Subgroups

This is where the sub-groups, labeled C, are identified, as shown in Figure 2. By clicking the button at the top right of the panel, we open our Add/Edit form and save our definitions.

Figure 5 : Report Subgroup Add/Edit Form

The group that we have created in section B on this form is automatically selected in Group section. Here we form our sub-groups that depend on our group.

Name

Report subgroup name. The subgroup name that appears in the report output.

Subgroup Order

Determines the order of subgroups from left to right on the output.

We are done configuring part C of Figure 3.

Report Variables

This is where D labeled columns and their values, as shown in Figure 2, are defined. Click the button at the top right of the panel to open your Add / Edit form and save our definitions.

Figure 6 : Report Variable Add/Edit Form

On the form shown in Figure 6, we select our variables for the groups we created in the previous step.

Subgroup

Specifies the selected subgroup.

Name

A descriptive name for our Variable value.

Variable Order

It determines the order of display of Variable values from left to right under the subgroup.

Calculation Type

The calculation type specifies the value of the selected variable that we want to appear in the report. These are;

• Min

• Max

• Avg

• Sum

• Count

• First Value

• Last Value

• Integral

• Max Difference

The selected calculation type allows the above listed values of the selected variable to be calculated and returned to the report in accordance with the reporting period.

Variable

This is the field, where we select the variable that we want to see in defined column.

Total

This is the field where the variable we want to see as total/average is selected at the bottom of the defined column. The variable selected here is calculated according to the report interval.

Deviation

This is the field where we select the variable that we want to see the deviation, along with total variable, at the bottom of the defined column. The variable selected here is calculated according to the report interval.
