B.3 FILE TRANSFERS

e) READING DATA LOGGER FILES
Familiarity with the data logger feature is required to understand this description. Refer to the Data Logger section of Chap-
ter 5 for details. To read the entire data logger in binary COMTRADE format, read the following files.
datalog.cfg
and
datalog.dat
To read the entire data logger in ASCII COMTRADE format, read the following files.
dataloga.cfg
and
dataloga.dat
To limit the range of records to be returned in the COMTRADE files, append the following to the filename before writing it:
•
To read from a specific time to the end of the log: <space> startTime
•
To read a specific range of records: <space> startTime <space> endTime
•
Replace <startTime> and <endTime> with Julian dates (seconds since Jan. 1 1970) as numeric text.
f) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES
To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
EVTnnn.TXT
(replace
nnn
with the desired starting record number)
To read from a specific record to another specific record, use the following filename:
EVT.TXT xxxxx yyyyy
(replace
xxxxx
with the starting record number and
yyyyy
with the ending record number)
B.3.2 MODBUS PASSWORD OPERATION
The F35 supports password entry from a local or remote connection.
Local access is defined as any access to settings or commands via the faceplate interface. This includes both keypad entry
and the faceplate RS232 connection. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear com-
munications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords
enables this functionality.
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the correspond-
ing connection password. If the connection is to the back of the F35, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
The command password is set up at memory location 4000. Storing a value of “0” removes command password protection.
When reading the password setting, the encrypted value (zero if no password is set) is returned. Command security is
required to change the command password. Similarly, the setting password is set up at memory location 4002. These are
the same settings and encrypted values found in the

PASSWORD SECURITY
menu via the
keypad. Enabling password security for the faceplate display will also enable it for Modbus, and
vice-versa
.
To gain command level security access, the command password must be entered at memory location 4008. To gain setting
level security access, the setting password must be entered at memory location 400A. The entered setting password must
match the current setting password setting, or must be zero, to change settings or download firmware.
Command and setting passwords each have a 30 minute timer. Each timer starts when you enter the particular password,
and is re-started whenever you
use
it. For example, writing a setting re-starts the setting password timer and writing a com-
mand register or forcing a coil re-starts the command password timer. The value read at memory location 4010 can be used
to confirm whether a command password is enabled or disabled (a value of 0 represents disabled). The value read at mem-
ory location 4011 can be used to confirm whether a setting password is enabled or disabled.
Command or setting password security access is restricted to the particular port or particular TCP/IP connection on which
the entry was made. Passwords must be entered when accessing the relay through other ports or connections, and the
passwords must be re-entered after disconnecting and re-connecting on TCP/IP.
