Creating a Trend Chart that Monitors a Trend Log Series
You create a trend chart that monitors trend log series.
A trend chart displays the records of a trend log or an extended trend log as a series.
A trend chart series that presents a trend log is automatically updated with the latest records, if Live update in WorkStation or Automatic scroll in WebStation is activated. A trend chart series that presents records from a field controller trend log needs to be refreshed manually.
There is no upper limitation of how many trend logs a trend chart can present. However, the performance decreases as the number of displayed trend logs increase. The records of the trend log can be processed by a calculation method before they are presented in the trend chart. The calculation function supports negative consumption values, which can be used to handle cases where you need to subtract consumption for, for example, energy produced on site.
When a trend chart presents records live from an extended trend log, the latest records of the connected trend log are frequently transferred to the extended trend log. This decreases the delay that can occur when the extended trend log has to wait for the transfer threshold to be reached before new records from the trend log are transferred. With this method, the trend chart presents the latest records.
If two extended trend logs are connected between the trend log and the trend chart, the transfer that occurs when a trend chart presents records live only transfers the records from the nearest extended trend log. The transfer threshold rate between the trend log and the first connected trend log remains unaffected.
When waiting for a new record, the trend chart draws a dotted line from the last recorded value and forward. When a new value is recorded, the dotted line between the last and the new record is replaced by a solid series of lines.
Trend charts support relative property references for the trend chart title. You can reuse the trend chart and have the trend chart title dynamically changed depending on where you paste a copy, make a duplicate, import, or move the trend chart. The Chart title property of the trend chart is the first part of the trend chart title and the Description property of the trend chart is the last part of the trend chart title. For example, in a relative property reference: '../../NAME' where '../' represents a folder or container object.
If the Chart title property is empty or contains an unresolved reference, the trend chart object name is the first part of the trend chart title.
The trend chart title is visible in trend chart printouts.
Trend Chart Series
In a trend chart, a series can be presented as a line, discrete line, digital, or bars. In a trend chart, series can be presented in different colors and with different line weights.
In WorkStation, in a multi trend log list, series are presented as text and can be exported to .XML or .CSV.

Trend Chart Axes in WorkStation
The x-axis of the trend chart represents time. The time span of the axis can be set with a fixed start and end time or with an end time relative to the present time. The axis can be quick-scaled to show the last hour, last day, last month, or last year.

Trend Chart Axes in WebStation
The x-axis of the trend chart represents time. The time span of the axis can be set with a fixed start and end time or with an end time relative to the present time. The axis can be quick-scaled to show the last hour, last day, last month, or last year.

Real-Time Plotting
The real-time plot is a variable displayed directly in the trend chart. The real-time plot is an instant reflection of the variable, so the history of the real-time plot is lost when the trend chart is closed. However, the history is not lost for I/O points that have implicit logs where approximately 500 records of history are displayed.

Time Zone Modes in a Trend Chart
In a trend chart, you can present the records of a trend log in different time zones: local time or a predefined time zone.

Calculation Methods
Use a calculation method to process the records of the trend log before presenting them in a trend log list or a trend chart. The original records in the trend log are not affected by the calculation method. The calculation method is applied to the trend log records grouped by a specific time interval.

Period Timestamps in Trend Charts and Trend Log Lists
When a calculated value for a period is presented, the middle of the period is used as the timestamp.
Example:
The calculated value for the period 8:00-9:00 is stamped 8:30. If there is a value at 9:01, the next period is 9:00-10:00, which is stamped as 9:30. The full period may not have passed yet, but the value can be presented even if parts of the period are in the future.
Temporary Trend Charts
To display a trend log without creating a new trend log list or trend chart, the trend log can be displayed in a temporary list or chart.
Para mais informações, consulte Temporary Trend Charts .
Multi Trend Log Lists
You can view a trend chart in a multi trend log list to be able to export it and print it. The trend chart series settings and calculation are retained in the multi trend log list.

Floating Point Values NaN, INF, and –INF
In the EcoStruxure Building Operation software, the floating point values “Not a Number”, positive infinity, or negative infinity may be displayed in the Basic property tab, in a trend log list, or a trend chart.

In WorkStation, in the System Tree pane, select the folder or EcoStruxure BMS server where you want to create the trend chart.
On the File menu, point to New and then click Trend .
In the Create Object wizard, in the object type list, select Trend Chart.
In the Name box, type a name for the trend chart.
In the Description box, type a description for the trend chart.
Click Next .
In the Time mode box, select Absolute to manually specify the x-axis start and end point.
In the Start time box, type the absolute start time of the x-axis.
In the Time span box, type the relative time span of the x-axis in seconds.
In the Auto scale left y-axis box, select True so the y-axis adapts itself to the displayed series.
Click Add .
In the Create Object wizard, in the object type list, select Trend Log Series .
In the Name box, type a name for the series.
In the Description box, type a description for the series.
Click Next .
In the Configure Trend Log Series page, in the Display trend log box, enter the trend log you want to display in the trend chart.
In the Weight box, select the weight of the series.
In the Show markers box, select True to display a marker for each recorded value.
In the Show events box, select True to display event symbols.
Click Create .
