As well as a host of standard batch features, including local and remote control, the new batch functions also include a lifecycle analysis function which can be used to rapidly review records of every separate production process applied to a batch.
With the lifecycle analysis function, users can now obtain records for every stage in the production process using ABB's DataManager data analysis software. The recorder's batch recording function enables the operator to enter essential batch information that is recorded alongside the process data. The recorded data is then archived for subsequent retrieval, with each batch being tagged with its identification data.
This data is then used by the DataManager software to provide operators with a complete production history for each batch.
The integrity of recorded data is preserved by one of the widest range of security, recording and display features available in a single unit. Standard security features include the ability to configure and allocate multiple users with individual password and access rights. There is also the option of an internal security switch protected by a tamper-proof seal preventing unauthorised personnel from altering the recorder's configuration.
The recorders feature up to 36 recording channels, IP66 and NEMA 4X front face protection for use in harsh locations. A user-friendly display and interface means that setting up and using SM series data recorders can be mastered quickly. Front-mounted pushbuttons simplify data selection, which is presented in a familiar WindowsTM environment. Set-up and commissioning is also straightforward, with menus presenting options for setting and fine-tuning operating parameters. Added support is provided by an extensive context sensitive online help feature.
All ABB's SM series videographic data recorders are backed up by a comprehensive local service and support network, offering everything from commissioning to upgrades, throughout the life of the product.
