available for expansion with the following plug and play I/O Cards.

Page 17 of 479

1.4.1 Analog Input cards (part number AI206 & AI203)

These two cards are used for 3 or 6-channel analog inputs. Each input is isolated from each
other to avoid noise and to ensure stable measurement.

1.4.2 Relay Output card (RO206) Each card includes 6 relay outputs. The relay contacts are rated 5 Amp/240 VAC.

1.4.3 Digital Input card (DI206)

Each card includes 6 channels. Logic Low: -5V minimum, 0.8V maximum, Logic High: 3.5V
minimum, 24V maximum

1.4.4 Combination Relay Output and Digital Input Card (RD233)

Each Card includes 3 digital Inputs and 3 Relay Outputs. For Digital Inputs, Logic Low: -5V
minimum, 0.8V maximum, Logic High: -3.5V minimum, 24V maximum. For Relay Outputs, the Contacts are
rated 5 Amp/240 VAC

Page 18 of 479

1.4.5 Analog Output cards (AO206)

Each card includes 6 channels. They are used for 4-20mA, 0-20mA current output, 0-5V, 1-5V,
0-10VDC voltage output.

1.4.6 PID Process Control card (PC201)

Each card includes one single loop PID process control function with ramp and soak profile
segment.

1.5 Communication

The standard communication interface is Ethernet with protocol IEEE 802.3 – 10/100 Base T.
Other options are RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485. Details are explained in Chapter 2.4.8 - RS-232, RS-422, RS-

485 wiring.

1.6 External Storage media

The recorder has 256MB internal memory to store the data. There are two types of External
storage media available for the recorder to dump the stored data from internal memory. They are SD card
and USB. Only one storage media can be used at a time in the recorder.
If the recorder is used with 6-channel inputs, the below chart shows the maximum no of days
historical data can be stored based on available memory.

SD card

16GB

32GB

Log speed

1 second

15, 808 days

31,616 days

10 seconds

158,032 days

316,064 days

120 seconds

1,896,304 days

3,792,608 days

* The above is an approximation, each record of data uses 2 or 4 bytes of memory depending on the data
type.
For ex: Selected data size = 2 bytes
If the Log Speed (the recording speed of measured data) is set to the speed at 1 second per
data, then for a six channels, a 16GB SD Card will last approximately 15, 808 days [16GB / (2 bytes x 24
hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds x 6 Channels].
The following formula is to calculate how many days a USB disk can do saving before it is full.

Page 19 of 479

No of days = (The capacity of SD card memory x Log Speed) / (2 x # of hours per day x 60 x 60 x Number
of channels)
If the user is using USB to dump the data then it is necessary to insert USB memory back to
recorder after loading recorded data onto PC. Otherwise the dumping process will fail and the oldest data
will be deleted once the internal memory is full. The recorder will do automatic dumping process when the
internal memory is occupied by 85%.

1.7 Smart Mechanism

The recorded data is stored in the manufacturer’s special binary format. It is not possible to
manipulate or modify the recorded data. This feature fully guarantees the security of the data.

seconds. It is a soft filter available to reduce fast variation of analog inputs. There are two types of filters
available for the users to select. They are moving average and difference.

5.1.1.4.1 Moving Average

This will log average of the values sampled in the configured Buffer Time.
For example, if the filter value is set as 5 sec for AI1, it means all the samples collected in the
last 5 sec shall be averaged, and the averaged value is available to record as per Log method.

Page 79 of 479

5.1.1.4.2 Difference

This will log the data only there is at least a difference between the current data and the last
logged data for a period. The difference will be defined by allowance and the period is defined by holding

time.
For example, the allowance is set for 100 and the holding time is set for 100 msec. If current
value is 1000 and last value is 890, when you check the difference is 110. Since this difference is greater
than 100 it is with that value more than the holding time 100 msec, this value will be recorded. If the
difference of current and last recorded value is greater than “difference value” but does not stay for the
duration of holding time this value will not be recorded. So the holding time will define the duration of noise
filter.

5.1.1.10.4 Job1 & Job2

The job is called as a task to be performed when the event is activated. There are two jobs Job1
and Job2 can be added to perform in any event.
A typical example is to trigger an alarm buzzer in the event of a high temperature. Each
channel can accept five different types of events (or alarms) and each event can create two jobs. Please
note that a job under Event is different from a job perform by Operate key. The job is actuated by an event,
and the Operate is actuated by manual control, no event necessary.

Note: Please refer to the section Jobs for full details about various jobs available
Note: Number of analog inputs shown on the AI screen depends on number of Analog input cards inserted
in the paperless recorder.

associated with this event is actuated. This is another limit lower than low limit for double warning.

5.1.3.8.1.5 Dev+

It is deviation+ event. This event will be triggered on the positive deviation of process value. The
job or alarm is activated when the process value is deviated by the value higher than set point from the
previous process value.

5.1.3.8.1.6 Dev-

It is deviation- event. This event will be triggered on the negative deviation of process value. The
job or alarm is activated when the process value is deviated by the value lower than set point from the
previous process value.

5.1.3.8.1.7 Error

It is error event. This event will be activated when there is an error on the input of the channel.

5.1.3.8.2 Set point

Set point for the event.

5.1.3.8.2.1 Hysteresis

To avoid the alarm or event been activated too often, Hysteresis value can be defined for the
event trigger set point.

5.1.3.8.2.2 Holding time

To avoid the alarm or event been activated too often, the holding time can be defined for the
event trigger set point. In process sometimes SP is reached but it will go down immediately, this might due
to process instability. To avoid these kind of nuisance situations, the holding time can be used to see that
PV stays at above that SP more than the holding time and then only activate the action for that event. The
range of holding time can be set from 1 min to 60 min.

5.1.3.8.3 Log

The event can be logged as alarm or event. They can be selected from the available options.
They are as below.

5.1.3.8.3.1 Log Alarm

Log the event as Alarm.

5.1.3.8.3.2 Log Alarm (Auto Ack) Log the event as alarms and acknowledge automatically

5.1.3.8.3.3 Log Event Log as event

5.1.3.8.4 Job1 & Job2

The job is called as a task to be performed when the event is activated. There are two jobs Job1
and Job2 can be added to perform in any event.
A typical example is to trigger an alarm buzzer in the event of a high temperature. Each
channel can accept five different types of events (or alarms) and each event can create two jobs. Please
note that a job under Event is different from a job perform by Operate key. The job is actuated by an event,
and the Operate is actuated by manual control, no event necessary.

Note: Please refer to the section Jobs for full details about various jobs available

5.1.3.9 Examples for Math Channel Application

5.1.3.9.1 Example 1 with Transformation Table

A chemical tank has a non-linear shape. The level is 0 to 1400 CMS. The Recorder should
display 0 to 170 Tons as per following table

5.1.3.9.2 Example 2 with Transformation Table

The input of 0 to 20mA for pressure 0 to 150 PSIG is required to display as per the below table.

The below steps are required to follow.

1. Configure the AI Channel as per the input configuration.

2. Configure one math channel with the required conversion using transformation table.

3. Configure the Expression with the input channel

4. Add the Transformation table type as values

5. Create the transformation table with the known values.

6. Now the Math channel will show the value as per the table.

5.1.3.9.3 Relative Humidity Application

The relative humidity can be calculated using Math Channel application. For this we need two
analog inputs with RTD input to measure dry bulb temperature and wet bulb temperature. For this example
the recorder has two analog inputs with RTD input in AI1 to measure dry bulb temperature and AI2 to
measure wet bulb temperature. The below are steps to be followed to calculate the relative humidity.
The relative humidity can be calculated by using the below formulae.

The formulae can be split in to 3 different parts for easier understanding.

1. Calculate Ed with dry-bulb (Td) and wet-bulb (Tw) temperatures using the following equation.

2. Calculate Ew with dry-bulb (Td) and wet-bulb (Tw) temperatures using the following equation.

In the above equations the temperatures units are °C.

3. Calculate Relative Humidity(RH) using the following equation

The units of relative humidity are in %

Example:

Assume that dry-bulb temperature (Td) = 20°C and wet-bulb temperature (Tw) = 15°C.
