• DARWIN is a system comprising a number of data-acquisition equipment components. In the course of system growth, new models, software, various input/output modules and optional features are added to the family to enhance the systems expandability and flexibility. You can check the versions of your equipment and software by referring to the style number (Sn) and release number (Rn) respectively which are shown on the nameplate of the main unit. When configuring a system, you must confirm that the style number of each component unit and software meets the following requirements: 1 the style number of each input/output module must be the same as or lower than that of the
main unit or subunit to which the module is connected.
2 the release number of a dedicated software package must be the same or higher than the style
number of the main unit or subunit where the package is installed and where it performs
control. Any equipment/software not meeting these requirements might have incompatible areas with your system configuration.
In this manual, equipment of style S8 is explained. For unsupported functions as classified by the style number, see the next page.

1.1 About DARWIN

Created from a completely new concept that is based on modular architecture, this group of next generation data acquisition systems is called DARWIN (Data Acquistion and Recording Windows). Today many data acquisition networks are increasingly being linked together. More than ever before, large volume, high speed, accurate, easy-to-use communication functions are essential in many disciplines. In the world of measurement and control where the number of measurement points has increased sharply, the ability to acquire information from a large number of points easily and economically is crucial. Interfacing to a personal computer allows simplified utilization of the information while improving quality and efficiency. DARWIN is based on a unique, new concept to meet these needs. The art of measurement is revolutionized by DARWIN which integrates functions of conventional recording and data logging. Most existing data acquisition equipment has been the all-in-one type in which the measurement section and display/recording section are contained in one box. While this simplifies operation on the one hand, it is difficult to adapt to changes in the measurement environment and also makes expansion difficult. DARWIN uses a data acquisition engine and remote I/O modules which are completely separate from each other. It is an entirely new product line which quickly and flexibly copes with various restrictive conditions and changes in specifications. Supported by a personal computer, a whole line-up can be created starting with the data acquisition systems DA series which performs data logging. For example, using a printer as the output device, the equipment becomes a hybrid recorder (DR series). Two models are available in the DR series: the DR230 and DR240. The DR 230 is a desk-top hybrid recorder, and the DR240 is a panel-mount hybrid recorder (component type).

1.2 Product Overview

This product is a hybrid recorder which can record and measure from small-scale 10-ch data up to widely distributed 300-ch multi-point data.
The number of measurement points can be expanded up to a maximum of 300-ch by connecting up to six subunits (DS400/DS600) to a main unit (DR232/242). Using dedicated extension cables between units, interconnections can be extended up to 500 m. Since measured objects scattered over a wide area can be wired fast and with a minimum of wiring, a flexible, extensive measurement system can be configured. The input modules to be incorporated in the DR232/242 or DS400/600 can be selected from the following, to suit your measurement conditions:
• Universal input module and DCV/TC/DI input module
Temperature, DC voltage and contact signals can be measured, but cannot be connected to the main unit.
• mA-input Module
This module can directly measure DC currents ranging from -20 mA to 20 mA since it contains shunt resistors. It cannot be connected to a system's main unit.
• Power Monitor Module
This module can measure the effective voltage, effective current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, frequency, power factor and phase angle for an AC voltage or AC current input. It is available in either a single-phase or three-phase model. This module cannot be connected to a system's main unit.
• Strain Input Module
This module can measure strain. It is available in either a model with built-in 120- or 350-Ω bridge resistors or a model with NDIS terminals where bridge resistors are connected externally. The module cannot be connected to a system's main unit.
• Pulse Input Module
This module can measure pulses. It cannot be connected to a system's main unit.
• Digital input module
This module can measure contact signals. It cannot be connected to a system’s main unit.
• Communication interface module
This module is necessary when communicating with a personal computer. Measurement conditions can be set and data acquired via the communication interface (GP-IB, RS-232-C, etc.) of this dule. This module can only be connected to the main unit.
• Alarm module
This module can output alarm signals as contact signals. The module can be connected to the main unit or the subunit.
• DI/DO module
This module allows a signal to be output in the case of alarm, failure, or chart end and a remote control signal for the product to be input. The module can be connected to the main unit or the subunit but only one module in all units.

Resistance Temperature Detector
Measurements can be done after selecting the type of resistance temperature detector (RTD) per channel. The available 17 types are Pt100(1mA), Pt100(2mA), JPt100(1mA), JPt100(2mA), Pt50(2mA), Ni100(1mA)SAMA, Ni100(1mA)DIN, Ni120(1mA), J263*B, Cu10GE, Cu10L&N, Cu10WEED, Cu10BAILEY, Pt100 (1mA) high resolution, Pt100 (2mA) high resolution, JPt100 (1mA) high resolution and JPt100 (2mA) high resolution.
Contact Input
The type of contact input can be selected from voltage level input or contact input, and recording can be set ON or OFF per channel. In case of the voltage level input a voltage level up to 2.4V results in recording OFF, whereas a voltage level of 2.4V or more results in recording ON.

Functions
DC Currents
DC currents ranging from -20 mA to 20 mA can be measured by means of the built-in 250-Ω shunt resistors.
AC Voltages/Currents
The effective voltage, effective current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, frequency, power factor and phase angle can be measured. The measuring range is common to all terminals. The input terminals of the module with this input mode, unlike those of modules with other input modes, are not consistent with a setup screen in terms of the channel number.
Strain
The module for this input mode supports the single-gauge, single-gauge three-wire (not yet supported by the DU500-14 module), adjacent-side two-gauge, opposed-side two-gauge and four­gauge methods. If you have connected any new strain gauge or changed the measuring range, go through initial balancing before starting measurement.
Pulses
The module for this input mode can measure the number of pulses per second on a channel basis or detect the on/off states by means of any variations occurring in the instantaneous value every second. Once you connect the pulse input module, you can sum up values without the need for the computing function.
Skipping Input Channels
This function allows skipping measurement, recording and display of channels you are not using. Measurement, recording and display will not be done for the skipped channels.
Reference Junction Compensation (RJC)
This function is to be used when measuring temperatures using thermocouples. The voltage generated by a thermocouple depends on the temperature of the spot of measurement and the reference junction temperature. Reference junction compensation is a function which compensates the temperature at the side of the measurement instrument to 0 degrees C. To compensate for the environmental temperature an internal circuit can be selected, or compensation by a fixed compensation voltage value (external) can be set.

2.2 Measurement Input Functions
Scan Interval
• The duration of time (one scan) in which the measurement of all channels is carried out, is called the scan interval.
• This interval can be set to any value from 0.5 second to 60 seconds. The shortest is 300 ch/500 ms (varies with the shortest measurement period of the input module).
A/D Integration Time
This instrument measures the input signal after putting it through an A/D converter. In order to minimize the noise imposed on the input signal, specific integration times exist. The integration time can be selected from 20ms (50Hz), 16.7ms (60Hz) and 100ms (10Hz). When “AUTO” is selected, the integration time will be automatically decided according to the 50/ 60Hz frequency of the power supply. AUTO does not function if the instrument is the subunit (DS400/DS600) of the DC power supply model (Selecting “AUTO” will set the A/D integration time to 20 ms (50 Hz)). If you are using the instrument on a 60-Hz power supply, set the A/D integration time to 16.7 ms (60Hz).
Input Filter
A filter can be set ON/OFF to reduce normal mode noise. Effects on normal mode noise are as follows depending on the filter being ON/OFF (theoretical values).
