Archiving
6.1 Archiving
Archiving is used to back up the recorded measured values in the database.
In the default project "powermanager", the size of the archive is dimensioned for 100
devices.
If you want to archive more devices (> 100) or an extremely high number of measured
values per device, you are recommended to adapt the archive size individually to your
project.
The optimal archive size depends on the number of devices in the project, and must be
adapted to project requirements. Otherwise, data loss can occur (if the archive dimensions
are too small), or memory resources on the hard disk are wasted (if the archive dimensions
are too large).
See also the FAQ: Do I need to change the archive settings for a project with more than 20
devices? (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/42674858)

Note
Archiving
The following measured value groups are archived as standard:
- Instantaneous power values (active power, apparent power, reactive power)
- Power demand values
- Energy values
Additional values can be selected via device engineering (see "4.1 / Step 3 (Page 23)").
To ensure valid consumption values, powermanager must be operated without interruption at
all times!

Note
Device list
The devices created in the PM Explorer are displayed.
Base unit
Archiving of all values in the database takes place in the base unit (Wh). Conversion is
necessary here if kWh is used in the report.

To convert from watt hours to kilowatt hours, enter the value "1000" in the "Divisor" box.
Via "Weighting (0-1)", the proportional assignment of the counted consumption to the
selected cost center is expressed as a decimal factor; e.g. the value 0.2 corresponds to a
proportional share of 20%.
When using the "Divisor", a warning message follows indicating the different units.

It is important that a device is marked (in this case, "System1:PAC4200_device").
The datapoint is inserted in Column C of your template.

You insert other datapoints (DPs) by copying the data of the created DP to the other
columns, and calling the datapoint under "Template -> Modify DP".
Step 8: Save a template
