Batch; Counters - Honeywell X Series User Manual

Batch

The Batch function allows the user to segment portions of data for further analysis. Batch
enhances the management of data collected in a non-continuous process, known as batch
processing, used in thermal treatment, sterilisation, food processing and chemical reactions.
Concurrent batch mode is now available where each batch is associated to a group of pens.
Other features include Batch logging control, Automated batch counters and Event driven
batch control.
Batches are controlled with command lines entered into the recorder, these include Start,
Stop, Pause, Resume and Abort batch. Batch Markers are placed on to the recorder's chart
and entered into the messages system for every batch command applied.

Counters

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. A Counter Effect can be used
to count an occurrence or to reset different types of counters depending on hardware avail-
ability. Other counters available are Alarm, Event, Digital Input, Relay Output and Pulse
counters.

• CE Mark - Conformity with 73/23/EEC, Low Voltage and 89/336/EEC EMC Directive.
• Soft Alarms - 6 "software" alarms per pen are easily set up 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.
• Common Relay Output - A separate relay output at the rear of the unit can be set up as an
alarm output. (Not available for the eZtrend QXe recorder).
• Communications - the recorder supports FTP, Modbus TCP/IP (master and slave mode),
Web and E-mail over Ethernet (DHCP standard) communications port and Modbus RTU
(master and slave mode) via an RS485 port. USB ports allow the use of an ASCII barcode
reader. (RS485 port is an option for the eZtrend QXe recorder). Email sent to your net-
work connected PC triggered by an Alarm or an Event.
• Independent Display Chart Speeds and Logging rates - logging rates can be pro-
grammed completely separate from the chart display speed, allowing the data to be dis-
played and stored at the rates that best suit the application.
• Language Support - standard language prompts for English UK & US, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Brazilian, Polish, Hungarian, Slovakian, Czech, Turkish, Romanian, Rus-
sian, Greek, Portuguese and Bulgarian.
• Logarithmic Scales - all displayed scales can be set as linear or logarithmic.
decades
• Enclosure rating - standard NEMA 3 / IP54 type front face protection. NEMA 4X / IP66
available as an option.
• 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.
