Question 16

Device management – moneo OS – release notes – version 1.13

Accepted Answer

Now you have an even better overview of your Infopoints!
From now on, you can see in your topology tree how many infopoints you are using in which area.

Question 17

Device management – moneo OS – release notes – version 1.12

Accepted Answer

Simple device identification In the device management, devices can now be connected using their host name instead of their IP address. This makes it much easier to identify devices on networks with dynamic IP addresses.

User access can be restricted to a part of the topology tree (e.g. a plant, a production line or a specific machine). Administrators can now easily define the visibility and thus access to location elements and sibling nodes for user groups using drag & drop in the Navigator.

This means, for example, that all kinds of maintenance tasks can only be made available to the user groups responsible for them.

Such an authorisation concept also ensures that users only receive notifications (warnings and alarms) that are within their area of responsibility.

The names of the devices in the navigator now follow the logic that if a user-defined name is assigned, it is used in the navigator. If the user-defined name is not assigned, the configured name is displayed. If this is also not assigned, the ifm product name appears.

If the user-defined name is edited in the device management, it is also adapted in the navigator.

Question 18

Device management – moneo OS – release notes – version 1.11

Accepted Answer

From now on, updates for subsequent expansion of datasources without data loss is possible with an associated agent connector.

Question 19

Device management - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.9

Accepted Answer

Question 20

Device management - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.8

Accepted Answer

In the device management native units of data sources can be converted live by moneo for display (Presentation unit) and will be shown in the monitoring table, for example.

Question 21

Calculated values – moneo OS – release notes – version 1.11

Accepted Answer

In a data flow model, the function block for publishing the calculated value has a new Boolean input: the latter can be used to define a condition according to which the calculated value will only be published if the condition is true. In this way, the calculated values can be related to the machine status, for example.

Question 22

Calculated values - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.10

Accepted Answer

Six new arithmetic function blocks

As of version 1.10, the Calculated values function in moneo now includes six new arithmetic function blocks to generate even more customised information based on the incoming data.

Question 23

Calculated values - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.9

Accepted Answer

In a data flow model, the function blocks in the function library are now sorted alphabetically. This also applies to the categories of the user-defined units and the units themselves.

Question 24

Calculated values - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.8

Accepted Answer

The "Data Flow Modeler" now supports direct control via keyboard, in addition to the mouse. Furthermore helpful tooltips are displayed when the pointer hovers over buttons and icons.

Question 25

Calculated values - moneo OS - release notes - version 1.7

Accepted Answer

In "Calculated values" there is a new function block for a data flow model: "Piece counter". If sensors are connected accordingly, moneo can count trigger signals in a data flow model. For example: switching operations or good and bad parts.

In a data flow model it is possible to define custom units for output values and display them on the "Dashboard" or in the "Monitoring table", for example.

In a data flow model, the run mode "onChange" can be used for high-frequency process values. This means that a new value is immediately taken into account as soon as it changes.

In a data flow model the function block "Counter" offers a new signal connector: "Reset". If the "Reset value" is reached, the "Time counter" or "Piece counter" sets the current value to 0.

If an SMTP server is set up in the "Email channel settings", moneo sends an e-mail to new users when they are created in the "User management". Users receive a notification within moneo if the SMTP server does not work.

Question 26

Question 36

DataScience Toolbox – release notes – version 1.12

Accepted Answer

Trends, level changes and volatility: now it is very easy to recognise these patterns. This is possible with the new tool of the moneo|DataScience Toolbox the PatternMonitor. It enables automatic anomaly detection of individual critical process variables (e.g. temperature, flow, vibration, etc.). Using statistical methods, the tool checks whether an unexpected pattern occurs. In this way, the behaviour of the critical process variables is permanently monitored and the user is automatically informed of significant deviations.

QM9105

The SmartLimitWatcher has two new health indicators that make it easier to track a developing problem. These indicators evaluate both the monitoring quality and the alarm frequency.

A change in the monitoring quality indicator shows that the original condition at the time of monitoring no longer exists. This should be checked and the monitoring readjusted. The alarm frequency, on the other hand, indicates how many times the limit has been exceeded in a given period of time.

False alarms can be avoided with the new ticket response delay in the SmartLimitWatcher: it prevents immediate creation of a ticket. A ticket is only created if the process value exceeds the limit value x times in succession.

Question 37

Data Science Toolbox - release notes - version 1.8

Accepted Answer

In the Smart Limit Watcher, there is a tabular overview per device for location elements or other higher-level nodes in the navigator of how many (active) profiles have been created.
