Issues with historical curves for Honeywell PKS R300 stations

Thread Content

The company previously used PKS versions prior to R200; this time, a new setup has been implemented using R300 software in combination with C200 hardware. It was my first time encountering the operating interface of the R300. During station operations, it was found that there are significant differences compared to R200: on R200, under the historical curve view, it is possible to select the type of curve group, with eight different display types available. However, at R300, the type of curve can only be selected from the config option. And although there are eight commands available in the command box, in practice, the commands type 5, type 6, and the two subsequent types are hidden and cannot be selected. In other words, only four types are available for selection. Communicating with the operators proves to be difficult; they are used to selecting the numeric data history in the view interface for keeping operation records using the R200. On the R300, it is possible to access the numeric data history by switching interfaces, but the font size displayed is always quite small, making it inconvenient for recording. So I still want to use the original interface. I have viewed the system screens under System, and I also found the old numeric-type data history screen, systnd05.dsp, but I can’t find an appropriate way to operate it in the new system... So I would like to ask everyone: 1. Is it not possible to directly operate the numeric-type history screens from R200 in the R300 system? If it is supported, how do I bring it up? 2. If it’s not possible to support retrieval, how can system tools be used to display the system screen of systnd05.dsp in the same way as on R200? Thanks first!
