Display

5.7" Colour Active TFT

With more than 256 000 colours makes it easy to interpret process data and take action with the intuitive bar charts, digital values, trends or trends displays. A screen saver function can be set from 1 to 720 minutes to extend the life of the backlight.

Touch Screen

The heavy duty durable touch screen provides easy data entry and rapid navigation through the menus. The touch screen operator interface provides fast, easy access to the recorder menus making set up and data analysis quick and efficient.

Navigation through the menus and text entry are direct and intuitive:

Example of a recorder menu path from the Main Menu to Pen Scale configuration with clear and rapid navigation

Standard Screens

Up to 12 screens displaying multiple combinations of Charts, Bars and Digitals can be configured, 6 examples below.

Help Files

A complete contextual help system can be accessed and visualised on the screen of the recorder.

Logarithmic Scales

All displayed scales can be set as linear or logarithmic.

Replay with Zoom

Select replay mode and zoom-in on a specific area on the screen. The data can easily be replayed at the recorder with the ability to "zoom". The touch screen makes it fast to review and analyse historical data. A "jump" function allows you to go from any message list directly to the trend showing the occurence of the alarm.

Communications

The recorder supports FTP, Modbus TCP/IP (slave mode), web and email over Ethernet (DHCP standard) communications. USB port allow the use of an ASCII barcode reader. Email sent to your network connected PC triggered by an Alarm or an Event.

Ethernet Connectivity

The Ethernet (DHCP standard) connection, with support for various protocols, provides unlimited connectivity to local area networks (LANs). The standard Ethernet interface makes networking of the recorder to a LAN or the world wide web fast and convenient. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically acquires the settings (IP address) for network communications from a DHCP server.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

The recorder can be synchronised over the ethernet network via a SNTP client or synchronise other recorders via a Server.

Web Server

With the recorder connected to a LAN, all process variables, alarm and messages can be viewed from an internet browser; values are automatically refreshed.

USB Port

Front USB host port for data and setup transfers or remote screen through this port. Use these port to attach external devices (keyboard or mouse), for direct interfacing with the recorder.

Remote Viewer

Extends the user interface of the recorder onto the desktop PC. Providing remote viewing of the unit launched from a web browser. Full remote control is available as an option. Compatible with Microsoft™ Internet explorer 6 and higher.

Data Storage

Internal Data Storage

1 GByte to 2 GByte expandable internal non-volatile flash memory is available for data storage and chart history.

Internal memory (Logging rate = 1 s)

Data Export

Removable USB flash storage device. Data is stored in a secure binary encrypted format, with the recorder’s configurations, providing added security of the data files

Events

Certain conditions or operations can be set up and logged according to the time and date of the occurrence. Subsequently events can be reviewed in a list or represented on a graph.

Batch

Batch enhances the management of data collected in non-continuous process, known as batch processing, used in thermal treatment, sterilisation, food processing and chemical reactions.

Soft Alarms

6 "software" alarms per pen are easily set up to display and record selected out-of-limit conditions. These can be tied to the relay or digital outputs to activate the user’s external equipment.

Independent Display Chart Speeds and Logging rates

Logging rates can be programmed completely separate from the chart display speed, allowing the data to be displayed and stored at the rates that best suits the application.

Fuzzy Logging

This standard feature provides a unique method to increase the storage capacity of the recorder. The data is monitored to determine changes in process data; if no changes are observed data is logged periodically. If data is changing rapidly, it is recorded normally at the programmed rate. By not logging data that is static, data compression of 100:1 or more can be achieved saving valuable memory.

Pulse Inputs

The 8 Digital I/O option card has 4 channels that can be set as pulse inputs (first 4 channels). The operating frequency for pulse inputs on the Digital I/O card is 1 kHz max.

Data Security

Total Data Integrity

Data is stored in secure encrypted files making it easy to retrieve the data dependent on process information. Data is automatically recognised without having to remember file names.

Password Protection

Up to 4 levels of password protection with up to 50 different users are available. Multiple levels of password protection and an audit trail of actions enhance the security of the data.

Extended Security System (option)

ESS provides extended features including entry of unique User ID’s and associate passwords, time-out of password entry, password expiration, and traceability of user actions. ESS is compatible with the requirements of 21CFR part 11.

Password Network Synchronization

Passwords can be synchronized over the network.

Safety Standards

CE Mark

Conformity with 2014/35/EC, Low Voltage Directive and 2014/30/EC EMC Directive.

Enclosure rating

Standard NEMA 3/IP54 type front face protection. NEMA 4X/IP66 available as an option.

Security tag

"Wire seal provision" that provides added security to seal the front door and rear wiring when using optional rear cover to prevent undetected entry to these areas of the recorder.
