Single-channel to sixteen-channel data loggers are designed for recording of values from transducers of variety of quantities, alarm state indication, and process control. Parameters of inputs are defined by the types of installed input modules. Datalogger with transducers configured accordingly to client order can measure analog signals, frequency, count impulses, evaluate two-state quantities and read data from devices compatible with ADAM Advantech protocol. If input signal modification is required it is possible to modify the input modules for different types. Input signals are connected to removable terminal block located on the logger upper side. Analyzing of the record is enabled after data download to the personal computer by means of the included program.

The complete solution for monitoring of temperature, humidity and other values especially in following applications:

• Food and beverages industry (HACCP)
• Pharmaceutical industry (GMP)
• Blood stations, pharmacies
• Horticulture and cultivation of plants
• HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling
• Building and energy management
• Research and development
• Laboratories (GLP)

New generation data acquisition system especially enables:

• to get information from data logger by means of the SMS messages - actual values, alarms, memory occupation and others - as response to SMS request from the user and after alarm creation at the logger. Data logger should be connected via GSM modem supporting SMS.
• to configure individually each input channel for measurement, alarm evaluation and data logging, including individual data logging interval for each input.
• each input channel can be individually programmed for different modes of record (continuous record, time dependent record, record only if specified logic conditions are matched, record triggered by external signal, etc.). It is enabled to record with shorter interval in case, measured values match previously defined conditions e.g. to map in detail trouble state. It is also enabled to memorize actual value and time if defined time event appears.
• to set up to four different logic conditions for each channel to active alarm. Each condition compares measured values from inputs with set limits. It is possible to set hysteresis and delay of condition validity.
• to assign to each input channel name of actual recorded process to identify monitored object (e.g. type of monitored product). It is enabled to select this name from data logger keyboard during the operation (MS3+ and MS4+).
• to indicate alarm state after matching defined combination up to four alarms from any inputs.
• to store several configuration profiles (all logger parameters setting) for different measuring tasks and select profiles from logger keyboard (MS3+ and MS4+).

 

Monitoring system MS2+:

no display, no alarm function, only for measurement and record

Monitoring system MS3+:

all functions as MS2+, in addition dual line alphanumeric LCD display and four push buttons. LCD enables to display actual values from input channels and data logger configuration. Two limits for each channel are adjustable for alarm function. Out of range values are indicated by appropriate LED and audio signal. The direction of the limits, hysteresis and audio indication are user programmable for each channel. Each MS3+ data logger has ALARM OUT output e.g. for connection of external audio alarm indication or a voice dialer. PC program enables to set wide variety of alarm modes. From simple (increase/decrease of measured value referring to set limit) to complex (logic combination up to 4 conditions from different input channels, additional time functions etc.)

 

Monitoring and control system MS4+:

all functions as MS3+ plus installed board with 16 output relays (250V/8A) with switchitching-over contacts for controlling of external devices. Each relay can be switched by appearance of one or more alarms at different input channels accordingly to setting from the PC program. Contacts of the relays can control external devices (switching OFF the device, switching ON the heating or ventilation, switching ON of distant alarm etc.). Output signals from relays and the power are connected to internal terminals via cable glands.

Notes: Inputs marked ( * ) are not galvanic isolated and have common ground. These inputs are available also as galvanic isolated. Galvanic isolated analog inputs are marked with letter G following the name of input type (e.g. input for passive measurement of current 4-20mA - type A1 - with galvanic isolation is marked A1G). Galvanic isolation is not designed as safety protection. Datalogger for thermocouple measurement has always larger case. Input RS always maps all channels from its position to position 16. Therefore input RS should always be installed to the position with the highest input channel number.
