External USB Devices
The recorder has two USB host ports, for attaching
external USB devices such as a keyboard, mouse or a
USB datastorage key. The keyboard and mouse can be
used to navigate the recorder’s screen along with text
entry.
• Help Files - A complete contextual help system
can be accessed and visualised on the screen of
the recorder.
Communications
• 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.
• RS485 Modbus - the RS485 connection allows
process data to be transferred to other devices,
or to record data received in MODBUS RTU
protocol (slave mode only).
• Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) - The
recorder can be synchronized 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.
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 associated 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 Synchronisation – Password
can be synchronized over the network, a recorder
can be designated as a master of a password group
and other recorders can be added to that group as
slaves, the master will ensure all passwords are
synchronized with all recorders in its group.

Modbus Master/Slave
The recorder can communicate with up to 32 slave
devices on both RS485 and/or Ethernet at a maximum
poll rate of 1 second (slowest 1 hour), with each slave up
to 8 “transactions” can be performed where a transaction
can be retrieving 1 or more registers from a slave or
sending one or more Pens to a slave.
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, 7, 8, and 9. For Internet Explorer 10
or higher use Remote Display Tool for viewing and taking
control of recorder screen.
Reports
Reports can be generated manually or on a periodical
basis using event system to show daily/weekly/monthly
totals, max mins, averages etc., the reports can be
printed direct from the recorder, e-mailed as attachments
or exported to external media. The reports will be in RTF
format for use in MS Word or other compatible word
processors.
Events/Counters
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. Up to 16 User Counters are
available and can be used as a part of the Events
system. User Counters can be set up as a Cause or an
Effect of an Event. Preset Markers can be configured and
used when applying a Mark to the chart through the event
system, the alert system or manually.
Concurrent Batch Mode (option)
Batch enhances the management of data collected in
non-continuous process, known as batch processing,
used in thermal treatment, sterilization, and food
processing and chemical reactions. In concurrent batch
mode each batch is associated with a group of pens, so
all pens within Group 1 will belong to the batch that is
controlled by Group 1. Batch features include Pause
chart when batch stopped, Batch Logging control, List
driven data fields, Automated batch counters, Event
driven batch control, Updated control and feedback,
Batch mode State and Count in scripts/embedded
variables.
AMS2750 Process Mode (option)
Provides on-line monitoring in the process recorder to
alert the user to potential AMS2750 non-compliance
issues. Monitors and alerts the user concerning - days
until next SAT, days until next TUS, days until next
control T/C change out and days until the recorder
requires calibration. The recorder also provides an
overview of T/C usage for all survey T/C’s providing a
colour coded early warning screen (5 day expiration).
AMS2750 TUS Mode (option)
The Multitrend GR recorder monitors a temperature
uniformity survey and generates a data file that can be
used to create a TUS report. It tracks a number of
parameters during a TUS which includes the ramp time,
the timebetween the first T/C entering dwell zone and the
last T/C entering dwell zone, the point where all T/C’s are
stable and lie within the setpoint tolerance limits for the
defined furnace class, the dwell time (minimum of 30
min.) for the survey, the maximum temperature value
during the dwell period and the minimum temperature
value during the dwell period. The on line TUS tracking
screen shows the current status of a survey for up to 6
set points, furnace details, status, Min & Max TC
readings, Max differences, MaxOvershoot, durations and
the Class of furnace the survey met.

Standard features
• CE Mark - Conformity with 2006/95/EC, Low
Voltage Directive and 2004/108/EC EMC Directive.
• Common Relay Output - A separate relay alarm
output near the mains plug inside the unit can be
set up as an alarm output.
• Communications - the recorder supports FTP,
Modbus TCP/IP (slave mode), Web and Email over
Ethernet (DHCP standard) communications port
and Modbus RTU (slave mode) via an RS485 port.
USB ports allow the use of an ASCII barcode
reader. Email sent to your network connected PC
triggered by an Alarm or an Event.
• Language Support - standard language prompts
for English UK & US, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Brazilian, Polish, Hungarian, Slovakian,
Czech, Turkish, Romanian, Russian, Portuguese,
Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Bulgarian.
• Logarithmic Scales - all displayed scales can be
set as linear or logarithmic.
• Enclosure rating - standard NEMA Type 3 / IP55
type front face protection. NEMA Type 4X / IP66
available as an option.
• 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 1kHz max.
• 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 up to 100:1 or more can be
achieved saving valuable memory.
• Rate up and rate down alarms - Users can
configure a rate of change in engineering units to
be checked over a time period in seconds from 1 to
3600 (1 hour).
• Security tag - “wire seal provision” that provides
added security by sealing the front door and
internal wiring to prevent undetected entry to these
areas of the recorder.
• 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.
• Soft Alarms - 6 “software" alarms per pen are
easily set u p 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.
• USB Ports - Two USB host ports for data and
setup transfers or remote screen through these
ports. Use these ports to attach external devices
(keyboard or mouse) for direct interfacing with the
recorder.
• 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 analyze historical data. A "Jump"
function allows you to go from any message list
directly to the trend showing the occurrence of the
alarm.
• Dual Cursors in Replay - Displays the time and
date between two independently positioned cursors
on a replay screen. Also provides digital readings
and shows the max/min between the cursors.
• Alert System - Error messages can be displayed
for serious errors such as connectivity problems or
can be used as an early warning message system
to notify the user on potential memory storage
space availability.
• Sound Effects - Sound effects, used as an event
effect the user can pick from a list of 20 different
sounds these can be configured to play a single
time or repeat continuously until a corresponding
“stop” event is triggered for that sound. The sounds
themselves can be replaced on the recorder with
custom sounds loaded by the user.
• User Variables - Provides the user with the ability
to set values for up to 32 variables that can be used
in the maths and scripts. Values can be altered to
effect calculations without having to change the
configuration. User variables are non-volatile.
