Formulas

Create notification and automatic intervention formulas using TAG and Advanced TAG data. Prevents unnecessary consumption. Notifies important situations early.

Important Note

Formulas can automatically intervene with PLCs. Test each formula carefully. Initially keep Writing Mode off, monitor only notifications and activate automatic intervention after ensuring the formula works correctly.

Formula Structure

Formula Components

Formula Name: Formula name
Formula Text: Mathematical/logical expression
Success Message: Message for TRUE result
Warning Message: Message for FALSE result
Writing Mode: Automatic TAG writing (optional)
Scheduling: Run time

Operating Modes

Notification Only: Writing Mode off, only generates notification
Automatic Intervention: Writing Mode on, writes to TAGs
Scheduled Run: Runs at specific times with Scheduling
Continuous Monitoring: Checks at each cronjob run

Writing Mode

TAG Writing Based on Formula Results

With Writing Mode feature, you can write different values to different TAGs based on formula result (true/false). This feature is ideal for automatic control systems.

Status	Description	Settings
True Result	When formula returns true	Value to write and target TAG
False Result	When formula returns false	Value to write and target TAG
Target TAG	TAG to write	Must be Writable

Scheduling Configuration

Schedule Type	Description	Usage Example
Second	Run every X seconds	Check every 10 seconds for critical formulas
Minute	Run every X minutes	Every 5 minutes for compressor control
Hourly	Run every X hours	Every 1 hour for lighting control
Daily	Run at specific time each day	At 23:59 each day for daily reporting
Weekly	Run on specific days of week	At 08:00 every Monday for weekly maintenance check
Monthly	Run on specific day of month	On 1st of each month for monthly optimization
Custom	Run with custom time ranges	Working hours: Every 10 minutes between 08:00-17:00 Mon-Fri

Creating New Formula

Step by Step Formula Creation

Go to Formula List page
Click "Add New Formula" button
Enter formula name
Create formula with Formula Builder (TAG selection + operators)
Write Success Message (for TRUE result)
Write Warning Message (for FALSE result)
Set Scheduling Configuration (how often to run)
Keep Writing Mode off (Writing Mode is off as long as target TAG is not set)
Save and activate formula
Monitor results from Notification Logs (A few hours)
If formula works correctly, activate Writing Mode

Testing Formula

Safe Testing with Notifications

There is no special "Test Mode" for testing new formulas. Instead, you can safely test by keeping Writing Mode off when creating the formula. Writing Mode is off as long as target TAG is not set.

✅ No intervention to PLC
✅ You can safely test formula logic
✅ You see all results in Notification Logs
✅ You detect errors early
✅ You can test as much as you want

Example Use Cases

Scenario 1: Compressor Optimization

Situation: Compressor still running when production stops

Result: Unnecessary energy consumption prevented, cost reduced

Scenario 2: Off-Hours Lighting

Situation: Some areas remain lit when shift ends

Result: Unnecessary off-hours lighting prevented

Scenario 3: Temperature Control

Situation: Equipment temperature approaching critical level

Result: Equipment protected from overheating, failure prevented

Scenario 4: Motor Protection

Situation: Motor current above normal

Result: Operator alerted, motor damage prevented
