Additional functions expand the device capabilities.
The additional functions are device-specific. When ordering an additional
function, you therefore have to specify the serial number of your FRONT
module in addition to the respective order number.

The KI recorder follows the course of the process and releases a messages in
the event of a deviation. It is called from the measuring mode: meas

Continuous processes

The measured signal is surrounded by a dynamically tracked,
process- controlled tolerance band. Slight fluctuations are tolerated.
If the measured value leaves the tolerance range, a message is released (Fig.).
The recording interval can be set from 10 s to 60 h.

Batch processes

The KI recorder provides an automatic self-learning function. This allows
checking whether regularly recurring processes keep the preset tolerances.
Deviations from the normal course of process (plus preset tolerances) generate
a message (Fig.). Maximum process duration can be set from 1 to 60 h.

Concentration determination

The substance concentration in percent by weight (% by wt) is determined
for H

2SO4

, HNO3, HCl, NaOH, NaCl from the measured conductivity and

temperature values.

Conditions for concentration determination

Below you find tables with the concentration ranges of the preset substances.
These tables show the conductivity of the substances versus substance
concentration and process temperature.
The following conditions must be met for a reliable concentration
determination:

• For calculation of concentration, the medium to be measured must be
a purely binary mixture (e.g. water-hydrochloric acid). Presence of other
dissolved substances (e.g. salts) leads to incorrect concentration values.

• In the region of small slopes (e.g. at the range limits) small conductivity
changes can correspond to great concentration changes.
This may lead to an unsteady display of the concentration value.

• As the concentration value is calculated from the measured conductivity and
temperature values, accurate temperature measurement is very important.
Therefore, you should make sure that sensor and process medium are in
thermal equilibrium.

Messages

You can define limits for warning and failure messages for the concentration
value:

SW 3400-011:
Dissolved Oxygen Measurement ...

Application-specific additional function for breweries

This additional function simplifies parameter setting since all steps not required
for dissolved oxygen measurement in carbonated beverages are omitted.
It simultaneously acts on all installed OXY modules
(module software version 2.2 and higher).

Function principle:

The following processes are automated by the additional function, i.e. all
parameters required for the respective program step are set automatically.

During the beer filling process, for example, it must be ensured that as little
oxygen as possible is dissolved in the beer to extent its shelf life.
During oxygen trace measurement the sensor is operated with a very low
polarization voltage (-500 mV). This results in low cross-sensitivity to CO

2

.

For a calibration in air, this polarization voltage is too low.
It must be set to -675 mV and afterwards be reduced again to -500 mV
for measuring in the trace range.
Be sure to wait long enough for the sensor to stabilize.

Opening and closing of valves causes pressure variations in the beer pipes
which momentarily falsify the O

2

signal. Therefore the input signal must be

attenuated correspondingly to suppress transient interferences.

When the additional function has been activated, the parameter setting steps
are displayed as follows:

Using commercially available SmartMedia cards

Commercially available SmartMedia cards can be used as additional
memory card.
The following types of cards are supported: 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and
128MB. Externally produced files, such as from a digital camera, are tolerated.
Long file names can be read. Protos generates file names in the 8.3 format
(8characters file name, 3 characters program-specific file name extension).

Formatting a commercial SmartMedia card

Some devices (e.g. digital cameras, scanners) cause a formatting of the
SmartMedia card which does not correspond to the SSFDC specification or the
SmartMedia Interface Library (SMIL). The manufacturer therefore recommends
to format a commercial SmartMedia card as Protos memory card prior to first
use.

AuditTrail

Function description

Electronic data recording and backup according to FDA 21 CFR Part 11

Pharmaceutical applications not only require a hygienic design, but also the
protection and complete recording of data (FDA regulation: 21 CFR Part 11).
The PROTOS with stainless steel enclosure and SmartMedia card meets these
demands. The FDA regulation basically consists of two parts: “Audit Trail” and
“Electronic Signature”. For every change of parameters, the device records what
has been changed and who has changed it.
Functions like calibration (adjustment) often may only be performed after
written approval! This approval is given by an electronic signature.

AuditTrail card

The AuditTrail card is a specially prepared SmartMedia card. The Protos records
the audit trail log on an audit trail card only. Readability from PC is not affected.

Note:

Only specially coded SmartMedia cards supplied from Knick can be used as
AuditTrail cards.

As delivered, the AuditTrail card includes a PC program which makes the
recorded AuditTrail data readable. When log encryption has been activated,
it also allows decrypting of the data. The program supports the data export to
other programs, e.g. Microsoft Excel.

49

Signature

Function description

Signature

A signature consists of two entries, the user name and the corresponding pass­code. Each change at the device (calibration/adjustment, parameter setting,
maintenance, if required also diagnostics) is recorded in the “AuditTrail Log” and
the respective records together with the name of the user who has performed
the change. For that purpose, access authorizations are introduced.

Access authorization

Every access authorization consists of a signature:

• User name and

• Passcode.

The administrator and the user enter the access data in the user management
menu. The administrator enters the user name (short name) and the user adds
his/her personal passcode.
Each time he/she calls a protected menu, the user must enter his/her name and
passcode. The analyzer only gives access to the function if the access codes are
valid. The recordings (AuditTrail log, records) on the AuditTrail card include the
user names so that all actions can clearly be traced back.

Encrypted storage

The entries in the audit trail log can be encrypted using an algorithm and
protected with checksums so that a special evaluation program can prove the
authenticity of the data records on a PC.

To protect the data against unauthorized query or modification, access data
must be entered before a main menu from the menu selection is opened.
Two-stage security is provided by input of user name and passcode.

The passcode is not visible. It is only displayed
as 4 dots. The administrator can delete each
user's passcode (with entry in audit trail log).
The user is identified by his/her access data.

After entry of the valid signature all menus are available with the defined user
rights. Only in measuring mode, the rights will be erased again. This allows
accessing several menus without having to enter the access data each time.
When an invalid combination of user name and passcode is entered, access is
denied with the text “Wrong passcode”. The entry “Wrong passcode” with the
entered (wrong) user ID is recorded in the AuditTrail log.

Parameter setting

In the System control menu the Administrator can adjust the audit trail system
to the requirements of his company. For example, he/she can select the
protection against unauthorized query and the encrypting of the data in the
audit trail log.

• “AutoComplete” is an input assistance for the
user name as known from some Windows
programs.

• Access to the Diagnostics menu can be “free”
or require input of a “Signature” according
to the access authorization granted the User
Management menu.

• For the recording on SmartMedia card, an
encryption can be activated so that the data
cannot be read or queried without corre­sponding programs.

User management

An administrator and up to 5 users can be entered in the Protos 3400.
Each user has a user name (max. 8 characters) and a passcode (4 characters).
Each user can be granted access and usage rights for each main menu level.
The combination of user name and passcode is the user's "Electronic Signature".
Every logged modification is signed and can clearly be traced back.
Different access rights for each menu can be defined for each user.

AuditTrail Log

Function

AutoComplete

The “AutoComplete” function facilitates the input of the user name. You only
have to enter so many letters as the analyzer requires to identify the name.
This function can be switched off in the AuditTrail menu because the automatic
display of the user name reduces system security, which then might not be
sufficient for FDA documentation.

Accessing the diag menu

To protect all data against unauthorized query, it is also possible to protect the
diagnostics level with a passcode (this will also affect the Favorites menu).
As delivered, access to the diagnostics level is free.

AuditTrail log

The AuditTrail log is an additional – protected if required – recording of all data
on the AuditTrail card (SmartMedia card). The log is recorded in the currently
selected language.
The data can be encrypted (to protect against unauthorized query) and
secured with a checksum (to prove the authenticity of the data). The encryption
can be switched on or off in the AuditTrail menu of the Administrator level.
A four-digit line numbering (0000 ... 9999 P 0000 ..., cyclic) ensures uninter­rupted recording. The audit trail log cannot be deleted by the Protos.
A buffer storage is provided to store the recorded data while the AuditTrail card
is being replaced, for example. An error message "Fail AuditTrail card" is gener­ated when the buffer is full. The oldest entries in the buffer will be recorded.
They are then missing in the log (the corresponding line numbers will be
missing).
When an empty AuditTrail card is inserted, the buffer storage and the current
entries are transferred to the empty card.

55

The audit trail log cannot be queried by the Protos. It can only be evaluated
using the suitable PC program. According to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 the user must
ensure the transport of the data from the PROTOS to evaluation and further
processing or archiving. Furthermore, the user must ensure that the log data
cannot be deleted from the memory card. The PC evaluation program is able
to decrypt the data and verify the security parameters and thus to prove the
authenticity of the data on the card. It allows printing the encrypted data and
exporting them to other PC applications.

Logbook

The logbook is provided in addition. In AuditTrail systems it runs simultaneous­ly with the audit trail log in contrast to which it can be queried provided that
the diagnostics menu is accessible. The administrator is permitted to delete the
logbook data since all security-relevant data are stored in the AuditTrail log.

Recordings in the AuditTrail log

Caution!
Data loss (even total destruction) might occur if the card is not closed
before it is pulled out (Maintenance menu, “Close memory card”).

The following entries and messages are recorded:

• Measuring point, device description, module equipment and serial numbers

• Menu system log-ins

• Movements within menus (menu headlines)

• Modified parameters at the press of enter

• Calibration record at the end of a calibration or adjustment incl. user name,
sensor type and serial number

• Messages such as failure and maintenance request
