    "Trend" is an another important concept in industrial automation systems and most of the time trends and graphics essentially use in automation systems. Movicon 11 SCADA provides us very flex and strong toll which should be used in many different kind of industry. I used Trends at my last Energy Monitoring project intensively which basically show the daily changing of the energy consumption such as Water , Steam , Nitrogen  and Electric . They shows So I decided to write a post which is related to the Trend with a basic example. I listed ingredients of the sample program below; Basic Script Trigonometric computation at each second change Event The script will be executed at every system second is changed System Variable and Double Type Variables System second for event Double variables;  Degree [0...360], Sinus Value [-1...1] and Cosine Value [-1...1] Some Important Links YouTube Link Sample Programs and Documents     The data that you want to show in Trend may come form

    In this post, I would like to mention about wiring of  Ethernet cable with RJ45 connector for some Ethernet-based communication protocols. This is such an important topic for an electrician/engineer to wire Ethernet cable correctly for providing good working network between industrial equipments and their peripheral of devices' communication.      Historically, most of industrial equipments/components have been connected through serial fieldbus protocols such as  Control Area Network (CAN), Modbus®, PROFIBUS® and CC-Link. In modern industrial world, Ethernet-based communication protocols have gained more importance and popularity than old technology after the spreading Industy 4.0 and IOT(Internet Of Things) idea with offering high speed, increased connection distances, the ability to connect more nodes and reducing engineering efforts to connect the devices each others.  There are many different industrial Ethernet protocols driven by various industrial equipment manufacturers

    Another important topic in the Movicon 11.6 SCADA that I consider is "How To Add Multi Language?". Movicon 11 SCADA provides very simple use of multi language( and useful too). I am going to make an example project that will consist of three language choices(English-EN, Italian-IT, Turkish-TR). I strongly recommend to use "String Table". It gains you to manage texts in many parts of project easily, in besides that the project make multi language. If you want to change the name of an object in the project, you can easily change from string table. If we look at the "multi language" in the another way, you can find the multi language concept(and for more information) in the NB Panel.( NB Panel: How To Make A Project Multi Language? ) Some significant properties of the Movicon 11 multi language can be listed below; Editor available in 7 different languages Project language switching via easy to use strings Switch between languages in Edit & Run-time   

    Today I was trying to connect NB7W-TW01B HMI Panel for taking backup of the HMI project. I was facing a problem when uploading the project file from HMI to my computer. It wasn't problem with my old computer to upload a project from HMI Panel but my company gave me a new computer for my job nearly one week ago. Long story short, I couldn't do it directly but after updating the USB driver, I did it correctly. After doing this I tought that It can be a subject for a blog post. You can access my YouTube video for seeing "How To Import Backup File(.pkg extension)". Video :  How To Import Backup File(.pkg extension)      Downloading/Uploading process is applied using USB Slave Port and standart printer cable( Pictbridge Protocol ) as you can see below figure. According to the appearance of this port, the Slave port is generally called Square port . This port is also used for printing function for further process.

      Friendly Reminder:             Before starting the post I would like to give some of useful links below for someone who don't want to read all story. Movicon Recipe Sample Programme My Recipe Sample Programme (I used MSAccess for Database, but you can find SQLServer2012 Database Configuration from my another  YouTube Video )  How to use Recipe YouTube Video      Processing data storing(recipe management) is such an handy function at Movicon SCADA. As I mentioned before the types of storing recipe data, one way to use recipe is to hold data into the database. With exporting and importing of the recipes, archiving could be applied for the production processes. You can see the database and recipe diagram from below figure. Fig : Recipe And Database Diagram      First step is to create Structure Prototype of the recipe and then adding a variable which in the type of structure( Recipe_Structure ).
