MAIN
2.1 MAIN - F1
2.1.1 Push button control panel
The push button control panel described below is always present in the upper part of the screen of every synoptic:
Alarms and messages window
This window shows the messages and any alarms currently activated in the system.
Alarm Description: The alarm description text string is fundamental for the identifcation of the alarm meaning (message).
The Alarms Description button positioned on the bar on the upper window, allows to put the descriptions of the alarms
present in the window into alphabetic order.
Condition: The alarms window always indicates the efective status of the alarm regardless of the acknowledgement
or reset condition. The alarm status indicates ON when the cause that generates it is still active (real status), while it
indicates OFF when the alarm is present in the window but the cause that generated it has disappeared.
The acknowledgement of an alarm leads to the acoustic signal being silenced (if activated); this operation will be
recorded in the historic log with the time of acknowledgement.
Acknowledgement takes place using the Ack button.
Alarm reset leads to the disappearance of the alarms window, as long as the cause that generated it is no longer active.
If the cause of the alarm is still active, the Reset determines the re-start of the new alarm procedure, with consequent
new silencing request.
Alarm reset is only efective if acknowledgment has been performed previously.
If Reset is performed correctly, it will be indicated in the Data Logger window with the indication of the alarm disappearance
time, stating OFF. Alarm reset means the Reset signal is sent to the machine, used to annul the intervention memory if
the cause that generated it has disappeared.
77
Selected isotope window
The following window appears inside the push button control panel present in every synoptic, which informs the operator
which isotope is being measured at the moment:
This section shows the detail of the isotope in use by the machine; they are represented in felds:
isotope name;
calibration factor set for the Bulk calibrator (K1);
calibration factor set for the flling calibrator (K2);
isotope decay time.

Module functioning mode selector switch PWD 1

AUTOMATIC MODE
The automatic mode AUT envisions a RUN status, in which the module performs the production cycle set by the operator
without interruptions.
The functioning status of the module in automatic mode (Run/Not Run) is displayed in the text bar under the Start-Park-
Reset buttons:
MANUAL MODE
In manual mode, all module commands are given by the software user. The machine performs the commands received from
the operator one at a time.
The main screen shows the manual controls relative to every cell element.
Control buttons
START - PWD 1: on the START command, the module proceeds with the production of the lot set by the user (ON) as
long as there are no alarms present in the system.
STOP - PWD 1: on the STOP command the module shuts down (in whatever phase it may be). To start-up after
interruption (whether due to a voluntary stop command or also an alarm in the module), press the Start key again after
having acknowledged and reset the alarms present.
RESET - PWD 1: this control is used to take the robot back to the initial condition. The reset operation is, for example
necessary on machine start. A relevant message informs the operator of the necessity to command the reset. The run is
removed at the end of the movement.
PARK - PWD 0: this button puts the robot in a position called Out Working Space. It is a particular position in which the
robot does not obstruct operator access inside the box. The run is removed at the end of the movement.

Filling kit control buttons
The Push button control panel inside the synoptic also has a series of buttons that allow management of the flling kit:
BUTTON PASSWORD LEVEL ENABLING CONDITIONS
Apri Pinch (Open Pinch) 1 Automatic mode
Chiudi Pinch (Close Pinch) 1 Automatic mode
Da SINTESI (from SYNTHESIS) 1 Automatic mode
Diluisci Bulk (Dilute Bulk) 1 Automatic Mode and Run OFF
Bulk > Mother 1 Automatic Mode and Run OFF
Mother > Bulk 1 Automatic Mode and Run OFF
Edit Recipe 1
Apri Pinch: commands the opening of all 6 pinch valves called 1,2,3,4,5,6; this command is used to replace the flling kit.
Da sintesi: it is used to command the valves in liquid arrival from the synthesis module confguration; the window
represented at the side opens through which the operator inserts a syringe that identifes the product that is being
transferred and 2 felds for entering the date and time when synthesis of the radio medicine occurred, which is being
transferred to Thedorico. It is starting from this value that the machine calculates the date and time of the expiry of the
radio medicine by adding the RADIO MEDICINE DURATION set in the Settings window, described below.
INFORMATION
If the scales are present in correspondence with the bulk, a window will appear that asks the operator if he wants to tare
the weight of the scales;
Chiudi Pinch: commands the closure of all 6 pinch valves; this command is used when the operator, on replacement of
the flling kit, wants to close the valves to prevent liquids leaking inside the kit.
10 10
Diluisci Bulk: pressing this button recalls the following window:
Here the operator has the possibility of setting/calculating the amount of physiological solution with which he wants to
dilute the bulk. The frst tool allows to calculate the amount of physiological solution used for dilution by multiplying the
current volume in the bulk by a dilution factor for the specifc density of the NaCl.
The second tool calculates the amount of physiological solution to be added to the bulk in order to have the requested
concentration at time At. Finally, it is possible to directly edit the desired amount (third tool).
Finally, a feld is present in which it is possible to read/set the mixing time with any gas on conclusion of dilution with
NaCl.
INFORMATION
This function only has meaning with the Theodorico A kit or with Kit A in bulk dilution confguration.
Bulk ->Mother: pressing this button recalls the window:
Here the operator sets the amount of radioactive liquid to be transferred from the Bulk vial to the Mother vial. Pressing
the Start button begins the transfer of the liquid.
INFORMATION
This function only has meaning with the B Theodorico kit.
Mother->Bulk: pressing this button recalls the window:
Here the operator sets the amount of radioactive liquid to be transferred from the Mother vial to the Bilk vial. Pressing
the Start button begins the transfer of the liquid.
INFORMATION
This function only has meaning with the B Theodorico kit.

2.1.4 Bulk drawing
ACT: Represents the value of activity present in the bulk vial; if the dose calibrator is present, the value is given by the
same. If the dose calibrator is not present, the value of the activity is detected by the machine by multiplying the volume
present by the concentration.
VOL: Represents the volume of liquid present inside the Bulk vial. If the scales are present then the volume is calculated
starting from the weight detected by the scales multiplied by the density. In order to have a reliable value, the operator
must carry out the scales ofset measurements correctly.
CON: Represents the specifc activity value of the liquid contained in the bulk. This value is detected starting from a start
value with the decay formula of the radioisotopes. The start value is calculated by the machine as Act/Vol at the time when
there is transfer from synthesis or during dilution of the bulk or it cab be set by the operator via the SetConcentration
window, which is accessed by pressing the menu represented above.
By double clicking on BULK it is possible to display a menu for setting several parameters.
Scale Detail
Press the Scale Detail key to access the synoptic:
The status of the scales placed in correspondence of the Bulk vial is shown here. The weight, the ofset value (value measured
when the zero button is pressed) are shown, a value of the density of the liquid contained in the bulk is set through which
the program reaches the volume. The stable/positive/scales error status are also signalled.
The Zero button (active only in manual mode in the scales destination) zeroes the weight, the Confg Mode button puts
the scales in confguration mode. In this mode the weight is not read by the machine but must be connected to the scales
via serial cable andinnovation software (installed on the machine PC) to confgure/calibrate the instrument.
For information regarding the use of the Innovation sw, refer to the manual concerning the same.
On closure of the synoptic, the eventual Confg mode status is automatically reset.
15 15
Finally, a Scale Data Logger button is present, by pressing which access is given to the synoptic that shows the log of the
data measured by the scales.
Set concentration
In this window, the operator sets the known concentration value at the time and by pressing the CONFIRM key forces this
value as concentration in the Bulk.
Using the Paste button it is possible to copy the concentration value of one of the previously-flled vials and paste this value
here.
16 16
Log
By pressing on Log, access the log of the operations performed on the Bulk:
This window shows the log of all operations performed on the Bulk; it is possible to flter the Trace ID of the radio medicine
(feld set by the operator immediately after the Da Sintesi key is pressed).
The date and time , activity value, volume and concentration, enabled operator name and description of the operation
performed are stated for every operation; the description of the operation will be: Start from Synthesis, Arrival from synthesis
end, start dilution, end dilution, from Bulk to Mother, From Mother to Bulk.
Using a key called Display Report it is possible to display and print the detail of the operations so as to attach them to the
documentation produced.

2.1.5 Filling drawing
ACT: Represents the activity value present in the flling vial; the value is given by the dose calibrator.
VOL: Represents the volume of liquid present inside the vial. If the scales are present then the volume is calculated
starting from the weight detected by the scales multiplied by the density. The machine automatically measures the
ofset at the relevant time. If the scales are not present the volume is calculated by multiplying the number of revs that
the peristaltic pump makes for a constant (n cc/pump rev) set by the operator.
CON: Represents the specifc activity value of the liquid contained in the vial. This value is detected starting from a start
value with the decay formula of the radioisotopes. The start value is calculated by the machine as Act/Vol.
BKD: Represents the background value of the calibrator, calculated automatically by the machine.
By double clicking on the FILLING label, a menu is displayed as shown in the previous image.
Call Robot
By selecting this item, in manual mode, the robot positions itself on the station.
Scale Detail
Press the Scale Detail text to access the synoptic:
The status of the scales placed in correspondence with the flling station is shown here. The weight is displayed and the
stable/positive/scales error status are signalled.
The Zero button (active only in with machine in manual functioning mode) zeroes the weight, the Confg Mode button
puts the scales in confguration mode. In this mode the weight is not read by the machine but must be connected to the
scales via serial cable andinnovation software (installed on the machine PC) to confgure/calibrate the instrument.

SKIP / SKIP FILLING: positioned in proximity of the flling area. Pressing this button interrupts any flling in progress.
The peristaltic pump stops and the vial being flled is withdrawn by the robot in order to continue the cycle.
If it is pressed during a Bulk Mother, Mother-Bulk, Bulk Dilution transfer, only the peristaltic pump stops.
The button is useful for example if the operator realises that liquid has fnished in the Bulk during fractioning.
REJECT: positioned in proximity of the flling area. Pressing this button, the operator asks the machine to place the
vial or the syringe in flling mode in the rejects area. The machine ends the flling in progress and then the robot will
withdraw the vial/syringe just flled and place it in the rejects area.

Representation of Vials/syringes Rack
1 Vial/syringe present
2 Vial/syringe NOT present
If the representation of the presence of vials (syringes) does not correspond with reality, the operator (PWD 2) can, on
condition that the machine is not running, select the position that does not correspond to the real state and, by pressing
the space bar, communicate the real presence state (absence) of the vial.
This function is INDISPENSABLE in managing the infeed rack (18 positions); when the infeed rack is taken inside the box, the
system assumes that of the positions are empty. If this is not the case because the operator has loaded the rack, the machine
must be informed.
ATTENTION
When format is changed or when a new rack is inserted via the air-lock drawer, the system assumes that all rack
positions are empty.
If this is not the case, the operator must indicated which are the positions occupied by the vials/syringes (see above).
Great attention must be paid during this procedure, because if empty positions are incorrectly signalled as occupied,
during the automatic flling cycle, the robot could collide against vials/syringes with consequent damage.
By positioning the cursor inside a rack, but double clicking, the menu appears
Click on View to access the synoptic that shows all features of the vial (syringe), which is in the selected position, in detail.

2.1.8 Recipes Management
By pressing the Edit Recipe button on the main synoptic, access the window that shows the production lot currently being
worked:
In the upper part of the screen, the lot summary is shown in yellow via the following felds:
Total number of vials (or syringes) that make up the lot
Total activity value (expressed in ml and in MBq) requested for the lot
The following diagram shows the representation of the production lot currently being worked;
Carry out this recipe:
This button allows to start the recipe.
Lot menu
The menu bar is present in the upper part of the window. The Lot menu allows to modify the settings of the lot being
worked.
26 26
Edit - PWD 1
Once the operator has selected the name of the lot to be worked, he cab add (ADD button), modify (MODIFY button) or
remove (ELIMINATE button) the records that are part of the same lot.
Every record is defned by the felds.
Code1,
Code2,
Activity Request: expressed in ml or in MBq; by clicking in correspondence with this feld, the Insert Request Activity
synoptic opens: the activity value requested must be inserted here; to change from activity to volumetric, the operator
will click in correspondence with the Request a volume feld.
If flling takes place outside the calibrator, in a loading cell, if the request is expressed in MBq then the program will
convert the Mbq into ml on flling, according to the formula.
Volume request= Activity Request/Bulk Concentration
(reported at the same moment in time)
In this case, the precision of the value of concentration in the bulk is very important.
Injection time: it has meaning if the value of radioactivity requested in the point above is expressed in MBq It is the time
when you want to have that value.
By clicking in correspondence with this feld, the Calendar synoptic opens, where the time in which the requested
activity is desired is introduced.
Priority: indicates the priority level of the current record. If the bar-code option is not activated, then the records with
less priority are those that have precedence in flling, e.g. on three records with priority 1,2,3 that requested frst by the
system is that with priority 1.
If, instead, the bar code and connect flling with bar code options are enabled, then this feld assumes a diferent
meaning: a label must be applied to every vial to be flled (Print -> Current Record) containing all of the information of
the record being worked and in particular, also code128 of the priority feld. The robot will take the vial from the inlet
airlock, will read the bar-code and will read in the list of records being worked, data of that with the same priority as the
value just read. In this case, the decision of the order with which the records are worked is the physical position of the
vials inside the airlock.
ATTENTION
The vial flled frst is not that which will be discharged frst if there is the autoclave or if the discharge station is not
available when the dose has been flled.
27 27
Reject after flling: if enabled, the vial in question will be flled and then placed inside the reject vials accumulation area.
Bubble point test after flling: if enabled, the vial in question will be flled and then placed on the flling needle to allow
the operator to test the flter.
Save As
Copy the entire lot being worked into a new lot defned by the user:
Follow the window
Pressing Yes, the program modifes the felds of the original Injection Date recipe, putting the date as of today, pressing no,
the lot is copied entirely as it is.
Delete Current Lot
Eliminates the lot being worked (after confrmation request)
28 28
Menu Print
If the operator must print the labels with the information of the records belonging to the lot being worked, he will use the
menu present in the upper part of the synoptic.
Current Lot
Prints all labels of the lot currently selected with the format chosen in the previous point.
Current Record (ON THE RECEIPE EDITOR WINDOW MENU)
Print a label with the data of the record currently selected and with the format selected in the previous point.
Edit Customer
In this window the operator will insert the name and address of the production centre of the radio medicine and will defne
any customers to which the centre usually sends the radioactive product.
To do this he will edit the name and address of the customer and then memorise the data introduced by pressing the
introduce - update button. If a customer introduced previously is to be eliminated, select the same using the drop down
menu in correspondence the Customer Name and delete it from the list by pressing the Eliminate button.
The information inserted in this synoptic will be used by the machine to print the labels and to edit the recipes where, in
feld 1, the machine will propose all customers memorised here via a drop down menu.

DECAY UTILITY
This utility is useful to calculate the volume or activity requested depending on the decay time of the isotope being worked.
Activity Calculator: given the timed activity value T0, the tool calculates the activity value at time T1.
Volume Calculator: given the concentration value at time T0 and a desired activity at T1, the tool calculates the
corresponding volume.

PRINT LAYOUT
4.1 EDIT PRINT LAYOUT
The Theodorico Report can be managed via Report Designer
1
;
The Reports are the instruments used to display or print archived data from the process in a determined period of time.
Thanks to the ReportDesigner, management of the Reports becomes extremely easy to obtain, guaranteeing the necessary
opening in order to obtain prints of Reports exactly suitable for the individual needs of the fnal customer.
It is for this reason that Theodorico integrates the Report Designer in order to give users the possibility to autonomously
create reports relative to the databases of the same.
Moreover, Theodorico also maintains the compatibility with the report engine of Crystal Report, but in this case, the
instrument is not integrated and must be purchased separately in order to create the desired reports.
The report fles can have diferent extensions.
fles crated with Report Designer have the .repx extension
fles created with Crystal Report have the rpt. extension
A report fle can be associated to a resource DataLogger/Recipe, to an object Historical Log Window and an object DB
Trace Window. When a report fle is introduced into the Report File of one of these objects, the Print command available
in the Logger-Recipes Data Window, Historical Log Window and DB Trace Window objects, the report will be printed. If
the report fle has the.repx extension, Theodorico will perform the operation using the Report Designer libraries. If the fle
has .rpt extension, Theodorico will use the Crystal Report libraries.
4.2 SET PRINT LAYOUT
The format with which the labels are printed can change depending on the desired language or customer needs. For this
purpose, a series of layouts are available in the PC, which are described in *.repx fle format, which the operator can select
through this menu.

In the Kit Type section it is possible to select the type of kit desired: Type 1, 2, 3. If kit Type 1 is selected, it is possible to set the
type of dilution (in the Bulk or in fnal flling).
If dilution takes place in the bulk or in each individual vial flled, vial inspection can be enabled/disabled (if enabled, every
vial will be displayed to the operator by the robot before discharge so that the operator can decide whether to reject it
immediately or place it in the rejected vials station).
It is possible to set a target concentration with which the operator intends to work (Bulk concentration).
It is possible to excluded the descent of the vial in flling mode inside the calibrator (only in volumetric functioning mode
Calibrator Moving).

Bulk Concentration Calc PSW 2
This function allows to decide how to calculate the Bulk concentration.
1) Activity/Volume: in this way, the concentration is calculated by dividing the activity measured by the calibrator and
the volume measured by the scales.
2) Decay: in this way, the concentration is calculated of the decay relative to the isotope used starting from the activity
and initial volume of the Bulk.
Lock-nut Fibre Excluded PSW 2
There is an optical fbre in proximity of the pliers that remove and insert the lock-nut onto the vial, which detects the presence
of the lock-nut itself. If this fbre does not function correctly, the machine goes into alarm conditions. In this case, for the time
necessary to adjust or replace the fbre, the operator can exclude reading of the same by the controller.
ATTENTION
With the fbre excluded, the system is not aware of any mechanical problems that may appear in the lock-nut removal/
insertion phase, as for example, the non-removal of the same by the pliers.
Cap Fibre Excluded PSW 2
There is an optical fbre in proximity of the pliers that remove and insert the cap onto the vial, which detects the presence
of the cap itself. If this fbre does not function correctly, the machine goes into alarm conditions. In this case, for the time
necessary to adjust or replace the fbre, the operator can exclude reading of the same by the controller.
ATTENTION
With the fbre excluded, the system is not aware of any mechanical problems that may appear in the cap removal/insertion
phase, as for example, the non-removal of the same by the pliers.
Robot Fibre Excluded
There is an optic fbre in proximity of the robot pliers, which detects the presence of the diferent objects handled by the
robot (vials, syringes, DS cap, access door to the vials infeed pre-chamber, rack). If this function does not function correctly,
the machine does not function correctly.
In this case, for the time necessary to intervene on the fbre to adjust or replace it, the operator can exclude reading of the
same by the controller.
ATTENTION
With the fbre excluded, the system is not aware of any mechanical problems that can appear in the withdrawal/delivery
phase of the objects, by the robot.

Users and Passwords management
The use of Users and Passwords in a project allows to manage access to the functionality realised in complete safety.
In a supervision project it is often necessary to manage running of the system in safety, guaranteeing access to system
functions only after the user has been authenticated. Safe running and management of the system takes place in Theodorico
via the use of the Users and Password management.
The Users and Password management in a supervision project allows to manage the safe access of the supervisor, declaring
a list of users enabled to run the system, giving them an exclusive password and eventually an access level. The access
privileges (Hierarchy level and Area) can be instituted by name of by group.
In managing users of Theodorico, every user is assigned a User Password Level that allows to authenticate the user and an
Access Level that defnes the reading and writing rights that user an perform on the diferent project controls.
Password User Levels
The Password User Levels are used to be able to authenticate the user. When a user performs Login, the Password level is
activated and therefore the user will be enabled to perform all commands protected by the same password or at a lower
level than that of the user. The following User Password Levels are available:
User Level 0 (0)= no operation allowed except machine stop and page change
User Level 1= password levels requested to operate on the machine daily; some parameters, which request a higher
level, cannot be modifed. These password levels are assigned to the simple users of the project.
42 42
User Level 1-1023= password level requested to access and modify machine parameters deemed most signifcant as
they can alter the performance and behaviour of the machine.
Developer User Level 1024= password level for developer users. With this password level it is also possible to perform
project development.
ATTENTION
The management of the Password User Levels is hierarchal, i.e. every User of a determined level can also carry out
operations at lower levels. The lowest user level is level 1, while the highest user level is the developer level.
Access Levels (Areas)
When the frst user authentication phase has been passed, i.e. after login has been performed correctly, it is possible to limit
the possibilities of user intervention on the diferent controls or components of the project, using Access Levels.
There are 16 distinct access levels, from Access Level 1 to Access Level 16. In this case, each Access Level, which can be
activated via Check-Box, is independent from the others, e.g. by enabling only Access Level 5 on a button control, only the
users that have Access Level 5 marked in their mask can access that button. The Access Mask set on diferent users must
therefore correspond with the Access Mask set on the controls or components of the project in order to give the access rights
in reading/writing to those components.
The Access Levels are not managed in an hierarchal manner, therefore the highest level by numbering (e.g. Level 16) do not
acquire the access rights of the lower level (e.g. Level 1).
The fgure illustrates an example of access control of the LogOn users.
See how, on the basis of the level and the area of access requested to perform the commands, users 1 and 2 with their
privileges, are admitted or not on execution of the command.
ATTENTION
The machine DOES NOT manage the Access Levels; it therefore refers only to password levels
Login opens a window to perform access to the program and use the privileges envisioned for the user that has accessed.
The default user set is:
User: COMECER
Password: COMECER

Users Group
The following settings mask will be ofered on insertion of a new Group or every time a Group is selected:
Name: The name of the group to be created can be introduced into this editing box.
Description (Electronic Signature CFR21): A description of the group to be created can be introduced into this editing
box. The description is only a reminder for the programmer and will only open in the Group Properties Window.
Default Level: This property allows to defne the Password Level to be associated to the group. This property is propagated
automatically also to all users that are created inside the group, unless modifed via the user properties.
Default Access Level: This property allows to defne the Access Level mask to be associated to the group. This property
is propagated automatically also to all users that are created inside the group, unless modifed via the user properties
(not managed by the software).
Password Duration (Days): This property allows to defne the number of data after which the User Passwords associated
to the Group expire and can no longer be used. Once expired, on successive authentication of the User, the introduction
of a new password will be requested. The value of this property is only considered if the same property associated to the
individual User is left at zero. If the value of both properties is left at Zero, the password will not expire.
45 45
Enable Auto Log of: In Run time mode, a password request always leads to the activation of a user Via the Enable Auto
Log of property, if activated, the Log of will be performed automatically from Movicon after the time set in the Logof
Automatically after (sec) property. The time count will start from when the user does not perform any operation on the
keyboard or using the mouse. By enabling this property on the Group it will be consequently enabled for all Group users.
INFORMATION
If the Enable Auto Log of property is disables, a user that performs Log on will remain active until a deactivation
command is carried out (established by the programmer in the project) or the user is not replaced by a diferent user.
The Enable Auto Log of property for the user and the group and this setting is managed in OR, therefore it is sufcient
that one of the two properties is enabled.
Auto Log of after (sec): Using this property it is possible to set the time after which Movicon will perform Auto Log of
of any active user. Naturally this setting only has meaning if the Enable Auto Logof has been activated. The time count
will start from when the user does not perform any operation on the keyboard or using the mouse. The value of this
property is only considered if the Enable Auto Log of property associated to the individual User is disabled.
Users
The following settings mask will be ofered on insertion of a new user or every time a user is selected:
46 46
Name: Editing box in which the user name must be assigned (User ID). The feld allows the introduction of alphanumerical
characters and is Case Sensitive, i.e. it discriminates capital letters from small letters.
The declaration of the name must be unmistakable and is mandatory.
Description (Electronic Signature CFR21): Editing box in which a descriptive text of the user profle can be associated
to the name of the same.
The description of the user will be used by the system to identify the active user and therefore register him where
envisioned, according to the provisions requested by the Electronic Signature.
The description is unmistakable and is mandatory.
Password:
This property allows to introduce the Password relative to the User. The feld allows the introduction of alphanumerical
characters and is Case Sensitive, i.e. it discriminates capital letters from small letters.
The declaration of the password is mandatory.
Numerical Password: This property allows to introduce a numerical password that can be used instead of the
alphanumerical type.
User Level: This property allows to defne the Password Level to be associated to the user. By default the setting of this
feld is selected on Acquire Group Level (-1), i.e. meaning that the user automatically acquires the Level of the group to
which it belongs. It is however possible to select a customised level for the user, independently of the group it belongs
to.
Movicon envisions up to 1024 password levels, where the frst 1022 levels are the lower type (for the users), level 1023 or
Administrators also authorises the commands on the operational system and level 1024 or Developer, the maximum,
authorises access to the project being programmed.
The declaration of the level is mandatory.
Access Level: This property allows to defne the Access Level mask to be associated to the user. On creation of the user
this property will be set automatically at the 1-16 value (not managed by the software).
Password Duration (Days): This property allows to defne the number of days after which the User Passwords expire and
can no longer be used. Once expired, on successive authentication of the User, the introduction of a new password will
be requested. If the value of this property is left at zero, the value of the same property associated to the group to which
it belongs will be considered. If the value of both properties is left at Zero, the password will not expire.
Enable Auto Log of: In Runtime mode, a password request always leads to the activation of a user Via the Enable Auto
Log of property, if activated, the Log of will be performed automatically from Movicon after the time set in the Logof
Automatically after (sec) property. The time count will start from when the user does not perform any operation on the
keyboard or using the mouse.
INFORMATION
If the Enable Auto Log of property is disables, a user that performs Login will remain active until a deactivation
command is carried out (established by the programmer in the project) or the user is not replaced by a diferent user.
The Enable Auto Log of property for the user and the group and this setting is managed in OR, therefore it is sufcient
that one of the two properties is enabled.
Auto Log of after (sec): Using this property it is possible to set the time after which Movicon will perform Auto Log of
of any active user. Naturally this setting only has meaning if the Enable Auto Logof has been activated. The time count
will start from when the user does not perform any operation on the keyboard or using the mouse.
Disabled: This property allows to disable the user. In this way, the user will not be managed in run time phase.
Blocked: This property allows to block the user. A blocked user cannot be replaced with a run time user that has the
same name. In this way, any run time user with the same name will not be managed.
Mandatory Password Modifcation: If enabled this property allows to act in a way that at the frst login of the user just
created, the user can modify his password. In this way, the user can set his own password diferent to that introduced by
the programmer.

ATTACHMENTS
9.1 ATTACHMENT 1 - REPORT DESIGNER GUIDE
9.1.1 Introduction
The Report Designer is an extremely powerful instrument that has been integrated into THEODORICO to give users the
possibility to autonomously create reports relative to the databases of THEODORICO itself, without having to purchase
additional software packets The Report Designer libraries are therefore installed with THEODORICO completely free of
charge and to not require any enabling with license in order to be used.
Below fnd a brief description regarding the fundamental passages necessary for the creation of a minimum report.
9.1.2 Report Designer Start
The Report Designer can be recalled via the Edit Print Layout command which appears in the Recipe synoptic menu. In
this case, the Report Designer will be opened and the report can be edited:
The Report Designer opens showing the Tool Box on the left and the Report Explorer, Field List and Property Grid
windows on the right. The central part displays the report layout.
The report opens with the connection to the database already confgured. This allows to have the list of references to the
data table of the original object (Data Logger/Recipe table, Trace DB of the variable or Historical Log) in the Field List
window, i.e. the list of table felds.
The report is made up from Bands, which can be inserted using the Insert Band command accessible with a click of the
right hand button on the mouse on the report layout area.
66 66
The Bands available are:
Top Margin: just one per page. Represents the upper limit of the report page
Report Header: just one per report. It is printed frst of all, only in the frst page of the report
Page Header: it is the page header and is printed on every page, at the top
Group Header: it is the header of a group and there may be more than one in a report. Represents the start of a group
of data
Detail: contains the data to be displayed
Group Footer: close a group. Always corresponds to a Group Header
Report Footer: it is printed at the end of the report, on the last page
Page Footer: closes every page of the report
Bottom Margin: just one per page. Represents the lower limit of the report page
To build up an extremely simple report, only the Band Detail is necessary. The felds to be shown can be inserted by simply
dragging them from the Field List. In this mode, following the report, the felds inserted will be displayed, for all records
present in the table.
Filters
The FilterString property can be used to flter the data (from the Property Grid window) of the xtraReport (select xtraReport
in the Report Explorer window). The property must only contain the criteria of the expression WHERE (E.g. [col] > 0, where
col is the name of a table data column).
Groups
A Group Header Band must be inserted and the GroupFields property used to set the feld according to the feld according
to which the data is grouped The order criteria can also be specifed in the same property.
Synthesis of the data
The report can carry out synthesis operations (sum, count, average...) on data groups. To do this, insert a Label type object,
connected to a feld in the Field List window. The Summary property of the Label allows to set the type of synthesis to be
realised via the relevant dialogue window that contains:
Bound feld: name of the feld on which the operation must be performed
Summary function: type of operation to be performed
Format string: type of formatting of the results. It is also possible to add the unit of measurement as text
Ignore NULL values: specifes whether to ignore the records with NULL feld value
Summary Running: defnes the ambit in which to perform the operation. Assumes the values:
None = no calculation
Group = performed for all members of a group. At the start of the successive group it value is reset
Page = carried out for values present on a page
Report = carried out for all values of the report
67 67
9.1.3 Example of creation of a Report
Now lets see how to realise a report using Report Designer to display the data recorded by a Data Logger:
1) Firstly, create a new project and insert a Data Logger to record three temperatures. Lets defne the three Float type
variables, which will be called Temp_A, Temp_B and Temp_C. Now add the three columns to the Data Logger, set a
recording time of 1 minute and generate the table using the Create Table command from the Database Settings of
the Data Logger.
2) Now lets realise the report. By clicking using the mouse on the Edit Report File command of the general properties of
the Data Logger, a window will be opened for editing the Report Designer. The ODBC connection to be used will already
be automatically passed to the Report Designer and therefore the structure of the Data Logger table with relative felds
will already be available in the FieldList window.
3) Initially the central part of the window, i.e. the work area for the creation of the report, will appear completely empty. It
is in fact necessary to add the diferent sections of the report one at a time.
68 68
4) Therefore, start to insert the sections or Band to be shown in the report. Normally the most important Band is the Detail
because it is that where the data to be shown is inserted. To insert a Band use the right button on the mouse to click
on the report work area and select Insert Band. Now lets add the TopManager Band. Only one of these bands can
be inserted per page and represents the upper limit of the same. Add a horizontal line inside the Band and a text box
where Movicon will be placed. To do this, select Line from the Standard Controls window, positioned on the left of
the editor window, and trace a horizontal line inside the Band. Select the Label object and insert it inside the Band. To
modify the properties of a control, just select it and use the Property Grid window or click on the arrow that appears
in the top right of the control in order to access its main properties. Select Label and insert the Movicon text into the
Text property.
5) Insert the ReportHeader Band. This band represents the header of a report and will be printed at the start of the same
only on the frst page. For example here we can defne the title of the report. Add another Label and customise the
dimensions, colour and text.
69 69
6) Insert the PageHeader Band. This Band represents the page heading and is printed at the top of every page. In the
example the date of printing the report is inserted. We will put a Label feld with Printing Date and a PageInfo feld
in which it will be possible to display the date and time by selecting DateTime in the properties of the object. For this
feld, also defne the formatting with which the date and time must appear.
7) Insert the GroupHeader Band. This Band represents the header of a group and there may be more than one in a report.
Represents the start of a group of data. In the example, just one group is inserted. The purpose of the report to be
realised is to display a table with data taken from the database. In this Band there must be a line with the header of the
table columns. Therefore add a Table object, withdrawing it from the Standard Controls window. The insertion of the
object creates three columns by default. However, we require four, therefore select the object and using the right key
on the mouse to click we add a column via the Insert - Column To Left command. Now just defne the dimension of the
column and insert the text to be displayed using the properties of every cell. The texts for the four columns are: Date
Time, Temp_A, Temp_B and Temp_C.
70 70
8) Insert the Detail Band. This Band contains data that must be displayed for the group. Here we must create a table
with the same dimensions as those inserted into the GroupHeader. For easiness, lets copy and paste the table already
defned in the GroupHeader. At this point, we must associate the database fled, from where the data has been taken,
to every cell in the table. Select the frst cell from the left and open the properties window. In the Data Binding property
we will select the feld of the LocalCol table.
Carry out the same operation for the other three columns, associating the Temp_A, Temp_B and Temp_C felds.
Using the properties of the individual cells, also defne the format of the data, which will be Data for the LocalCol
column while it will be the Float type for the other three.
71 71
9) Insert the GroupFooter Band. This Band closes a group and always corresponds to a GroupHeader. In this Band we will
display the average of the three values extracted for the three temperature columns. As already performed, insert a table
with four columns. In the frst feld we will only add the Average Values text. Select the second feld from the table and
the properties window, click on the Summary feld. Another window will open where it is possible to defne the formula
to be applied to the feld. The windows must be flled-in as follows:
Bound feld: select the feld in the table onto which the formula must be applied, in our case Temp_A
Summary function: select the type of function to apply, in our case Avgas
Format string: select the type of data format, in our case Float
Ignore NULL values: enable this check box if any null values are to be ignored
Summary Running: select the ambit in which the operation is to be performed, in our case Group
Repeat the same operation for the other two felds in the Temp_B and Temp_C table. If necessary, apply a background
colour to the summary table.
72 72
10) Insert the ReportFooter Band. This Band is printed at the end of the report, on the last page A feld will be introduced
into this band for any operator notes. We will simply insert a Label and three lines, modifying them so that they are
dashed.
11) Insert the PageFooter Band. This Band closes every page of the report. A feld will be introduced into this Band to
display the page number. We will add a Label with Page text and a PageInfo feld, in which the type of data to be
displayed can be selected, e.g NumberOfTotal (displays the current page and the total number of pages).
73 73
12) Insert the ButtonMargin Band. Only one of these bands can be inserted per page and represents the lower limit of the
same. A horizontal line is added inside the Band like that inserted in the TopMargin Band.
13) At this point the report is terminated and if there is already data present in the database a preview of the report can be
seen by clicking on Preview positioned on the bar at the bottom of the Report Designer window.
It is however possible to make previews of the report inn any phase of the creation of the report, thus allowing to
immediately check the result that is obtained with the insertion of several Bands and controls.
74 74
14) Save the report and close Report Designer to go back to the Movicon project. At this point, a new synoptic will be
inserted into the project. The following objects will be added inside the synoptic:
a Logger-Recipes Data Window, to which the Data Logger will be associated previously created, to display the data
recorded. Using the Print button of the window it will be possible to print the report directly without displaying the
preview (the printer pre-defned in the operational system will be used)
three Potentiometers or Display for modifcation of the three temperature variables Temp_A, Temp_B and
Temp_C
a button to which the Report-Recipes type command can be associated. In the command, select Data Logger
created previously and in the Action feld select Display. Using this button, the report can be opened as a preview
It is now possible to run the report and after having recorded several data the report can be tested.
In the example just realised, all Bands available have been inserted in the report, but as already said at the start this is not a
mandatory procedure. The programmer can decide which Band to use according to requirements.

9.2 ATTACHMENT 2 - CRYSTAL REPORT GUIDE
TM
9.2.1 Introduction
Crystal Report is a user-friendly powerful instrument for the creation of graphical bases intended for data lists, tables,
reports and anything else required to present the database data tables realised with the Movicon recording instruments.
The report pages realised with Crystal Report will have the .rpt extension. These reports must be generated using this
instrument. It must be purchased separately and will be connected to the data tables generated with Movicon. Movicon
supports the 10.0 or successive version of Crystal Report,
9.2.2 Creation of a Report using Crystal Reports
Below fnd the procedure used to obtain data reports via the integration of Crystal Reports with Movicon. Remember that
the version required of Crystal Reports is 10.0 or successive. It is supposed that a project must be created containing a
Data Logger that records three Movicon system variables, in order to simulate a random distribution of values recorded at
intervals of fve seconds from each other. The project must be started at least once (with ALT-F12 or appropriate run button)
to allow Movicon to create the database. The next step envisions the use of Crystal Reports for the realisation of the report
requested.
A dialogue window will be shown on start-up of the program, which requests what type of report to create: select Standard
and click on Ok to continue.
Crystal Reports: New Project
76 76
Now a list of types of connections to database will be shown, organised according to a tree diagram: expand the Create
new connection node and select ODBC (RDO). At this point a list of connections already existing in the computer will
appear, among which there will also be that created previously by the project, which will have the name defned as Name
Project_DLR. By clicking on Next the User Name and Password will be requested for the database: leave these felds empty
and click on End.
Crystal Reports: Create New ODBC Connection
At this point, by selecting the pre-selected ODBC connection, the list of the names of the tables present inside will be listed
(in the example in the fgure, the table is called LogExample, as the name of the DataLogger). Click on the button with the
right hand arrow to add the element to the list of the tables selected and click on Next.
Crystal Reports: Add table
In the next page the felds present in the table previously selected will appear in the list on the left. By clicking twice on the
felds with the left key or selecting them and clicking on the right arrow, the felds will be added to the right hand list that
contains the felds of the data base, which will be efectively shown in the report.
77 77
Crystal Reports: Add Fields to be displayed
Clicking on Next there is the possibility of grouping the data connected according to one or more columns and, on the next
page, to defne the flters on the data. Finally, it is possible to select a template for displaying the data on the last page. To
create a simple list without any graphical element, select No template from the list.
Crystal Reports: Select Template
Clicking on End the report that has just been created will appear, via the guided procedure. Using the functions of Crystal
Reports it will now be possible to adapt the report to personal requirements, adding information to the data or calculations
such as sums of the values, averages and standard deviations (See the Crystal Reports documentation for information). Save
the report obtained in a fle to end the creation procedure.
Crystal Reports: Result
It is now necessary to connect the report fle to the Movicon Data Logger. Open the project and display the Data Logger
Properties window in question. In the General properties, click on CRW File and select the Crystal Reports fle (.rpt) created
previously. Clicking on Ok the name of the fle will be displayed among the properties of the Data Logger. In this way, it will be
possible to display the report directly from the synoptic also during the execution phase. To do this, add a button to the synoptic
and select the Report command, specifying display as action and the name of the Data Logger as the object. In the execution
phase, by clicking on the button, the Movicon Report Viewer will be opened.
