1. Product Overview
1.1 Features and Functions
Air Flow Station
(1) Easy Multi-point Data Acquisition
The D6FZ-FGX21 Air Flow Station combined with the D6FZ- Series Air Flow Sensors
provides the measurement and recording of air flow, pressure and temperature at multiple
points. Individual integrated flow rate values are added to total sums, which can be checked
at operation sites. The Air Flow Station can be connected to up to eight Air Flow Sensor
units, whose momentary and integrated flow rate values can be independently recorded.
Flow rate data acquisition at operation sites now becomes easy, contributing to enhanced
energy-saving efficiency.
(2) Recording to an SD Memory Card
The measured data can be recorded in the Air Flow Station (D6FZ-FGX21). Data recorded
for approx. four hours at 1 second cycle can be accumulated in the internal memory when a
single Air Flow Sensor unit is connected, which enables the Air Flow Station to continue
recording even at an emergency network failure. The Air Flow Station allows its data
accumulated in the internal memory to be output to an SD memory card in CSV format
without stopping measurement, thus making continuous recording for long hours possible.
NOTE: The internal memory can store the data continuously recorded for up to minimum
approx. 30 minutes (at a recording cycle time of 2 seconds, when eight Air Flow Sensor
units are connected). Use an SD memory card for longer time of recording.
1. Product Overview
(3) Network Connection
The measured values obtained from multiple Air Flow Station units in a network can be
acquired to a PC connected via LAN cables by using the PC software (Multi Data Viewer
Light). The individual Air Flow Station and Air Flow Sensor units can be controlled from the
PC to check or change their settings as well as send recording start/stop instruction. (Refer
to the PC software "User's Manual" for details.)
(4) Graph Display and Data Processing Software
The data output to an SD memory card or recorded to a PC through network connection can
be displayed in graphs or processed online by using the PC software. The data items in
different periods can be combined or multiple Air Flow Station data can be displayed
simultaneously side by side on the screen. (Refer to the PC software "User's Manual" for
details.)
(5) Alarm Output
Alarm output terminals are provided on the Air Flow Station. An alarm is output when the
measured air flow rate exceeds the upper limit. This feature provides 'visualization' of the air
flow limit, allowing the operator to quickly handle errors.
