C1300
The C1300 is an advanced, programmable circular chart
recorder for up to four process signals. It combines traditional
circular chart values with data logging technology from ABB's
award-winning SM Series videographic recorders to create a
labour-saving recording solution. The C1300's straightforward
operator controls and robust construction make it suitable for a
variety of industrial environments. With many features supplied
as standard and a powerful range of options, the C1300 is a
truly flexible unit that can adapt to match your process
requirements.
Clear, Intuitive Display Menus
Comprehensive Process Information
The C1300 incorporates up to two graphical display panels to
keep the operator informed of process status. Each panel is
capable of displaying up to eight lines of descriptive text to
simplify both configuration and operation of the recorder. The
display technology used increases visibility in high ambient light
conditions.
Simple Operation
The clearly-labelled tactile keypad gives direct access for
operator adjustments and configuration, without the need to
open the recorder's door. Clear text prompts on the digital
displays guide the user through the various menus. A
password-protected security system prevents unauthorized
access to configuration adjustment menus.

Advanced Totalizer Technology
The C1300 features some of the most advanced totalizing
features of any recording instrument, giving it the ability to
autoconfigure totalizers to specific requirements. For example, it
is possible to measure flow in one volumetric unit and totalize in
another; the C1300 automatically calculates the relationship
between the two volume units and configures this information.
No longer is it necessary to deal with unit conversion tables and
timebases.
Totalizer control is enhanced further by reset functionality that is
set in real-time. If the totalizer is required to reset at midnight
every Sunday simply set it to do so. Totalizer logs also eliminate
the requirement for the operator to go to the recorder at the
same time each day to take readings. The totalizer log contains
historical information of the date, time and individual totalizer
values; enabling comparison of process volumes directly from
the front panel of the recorder.
Timers and Clock
The C1300 provides two event timers driven by the recorder's
real-time clock. The timers can be configured to operate relays,
start/stop the chart or trigger other actions within the recorder;
such as allowing alarm annunciation only during night hours.

Comprehensive Flow Totalizer Displays
PC Configuration Backup
Fitted as standard to every C1300 is a PC Configuration Backup
port. Using this port, an instrument's configuration can be both
uploaded and downloaded to a PC, enabling a backup of a
recorder's configuration to be saved for future use.
Configuration time of multiple units with similar configurations is
also greatly reduced via use of this feature.

Math and Logic
Optional math functions, mass flow calculations and RH tables
are available, enabling the solving of real process problems,
quickly and simply. Math functions include addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division.
Logic capability is provided as standard, for interlocking and
integration of discrete and continuous functions to address a
wide range of process criteria.
Boolean logic functions enable the grouping of alarms to a
single 'common-trouble' relay, saving time and money or
allowing interlocking to create almost infinite combinations of
'If…Then' scenarios.
Built to Meet Your Needs
The C1300's modular architecture enables a high level of
hardware choice.
The standard input/output module supplied with every pen
comes complete with a fully isolated universal analog input, a
relay output, transmitter power supply, an isolated analog output
and two digital inputs.
Further input and output capability is provided by a range of
plug-in modules:
Four relays – channel alarm outputs
Eight digital inputs – linked using logic equations
Eight digital outputs – TTL level alarm outputs
True-time event pen (Violet) – event pen is additional to
standard pens
Modbus RS485 communications – interfaces with PCs
Data logging – to Compact Flash card
Expandable for the Future
The C1300 can be upgraded quickly to meet your changing
process requirements.
Additional recording channels, math capability or input and
output functions can be retrofitted on-site using plug-in modules
and easily-fitted pen arms. Input calibration data is stored on
each card, enabling quick changes of input modules without the
need for recalibration.
Changes to input sensors or recording requirements are
accommodated by reconfiguration using the keypad.

Modbus RS485 Communications
Communications with PCs or PLCs are achieved via the RS485
serial communications link, enabling the C1300 to serve as the
front end of plant-wide data acquisition systems. Using Modbus
RTU protocol all process inputs and other variables can be read
continuously by a host PC running any of a wide range of
standard SCADA packages.

4-Pen Recording
Available with up to four trending pens, the C1300 enables pen
ranges to be configured independently from each other and their
corresponding inputs. This enables the pens to be scaled to the
best effect and potentially minimizes the requirement for costly
multiple-scaled consumables. The C1300 also offers a true-time
event-pen facility that ensures that process actions are logged
on the same timeline as Pen 1.
4-pen Recorder with Two Graphical Display Panels
Designed to Survive
Optional NEMA 4X protection ensures the C1300 can survive in
the harshest environments and makes the recorder ideal for use
in panels that are hosed down regularly. The tough,
acid-resistant case provides NEMA 4X rating for all mounting
options.
Easy to Install
A choice of mounting options enables simple installation of the
recorder in a panel, on a wall or on a pipe. Detachable terminal
blocks provide trouble-free connection of input and output
wiring. Mains isolation can be provided by an optional power
switch within the instrument.
Data Logging
The C1300 can be fitted with a data logging option that
automatically stores the totalizer log entries and instantaneous
channel data to a Compact Flash card. Once logged to a card,
ABB's DataManager software can be used to analyze the
totalizer log and create graphs of the instantaneous data.
Simple operation is ensured due to the automatic initiation of
logging upon the insertion of a Compact Flash card and
extremely simple card removal procedure.
As a result of the large capacity of Compact Flash cards,
exceptionally long recording durations can be achieved which
minimizes the requirement for operator intervention to retrieve
data.
The Compact Flash card is located behind the door of the
recorder and can be protected by the optional door lock.
