Support Library

The 4100G is a high specification graphic recorder capable of plotting up to 12 input signals, math (derived) channels, totalizer values etc. Enclosed in a sheet steel case designed to meet the requirements of an industrial environment, this recorder is ideal for continuous and batch processes as well as test and QA environments.

Display
The display consists of a 5.5” TFT color LCD originally designed for the harsh environment of automotive applications. This display is overlaid with a tough touch-screen membrane and the whole fascia can be sealed to IP65. The display can show process values as if traced on a traditional chart, as bargraphs or in numeric format. Process alarms can also be viewed in a tabulated display and can be filtered by group or point.

Configuration
The recorder is fully configurable from the touch-screen using a simple menu system with text prompts. This allows access both to simple operator facilities and, via a password, to the input and instrument configuration.

The recorder can also be configured from a software package, allowing the user to set up the configuration off-site for later downloading to the recorder.

Ethernet & Web-Enabled DAQ

Chessell's tried and tested 100mm graphic recorder is now web-enabled. Improvements to the 4100G have led to a browser-enabled unit, giving you the freedom to browse your process over the Internet.

This new feature allows real-time information to be monitored from an Internet-enabled PC, anywhere in the world. The 4100G connects to the world wide web via an Ethernet network. Use of an embedded TCP/IP server on the 4100G means that real-time process data can be browsed on a PC that has no specialized data acquisition software installed - only a standard Internet browser is required.

Data is displayed in the form of a chart, bar graphs and alarm-summary, incorporated into a single screen, displaying all pertinent process information concurrently. The data can be logged to the network via the client PC.

The web-enabled unit also features e-mail alarm notification. For user-selected alarms, a message is sent to a stored list of e-mail addresses. Message content includes unit identification tag, channel tag, alarm number and the time at which the alarm went active.

Nuclear Certified Recorders

It is necessary to meet very stringent testing and qualifications standards to provide recorders and data acquisition units to the nuclear power industry. Recorders that are used in this sector typically have to meet the following qualifications:

IEEE 344 specifications for use in Class 1E applications.
EPRI Specification TR-102323 for EMI and RFI
Software V&V Per IEEE Standard 7-4.3.2-1993 for software verification and validation.
10CFR50 Appendix B requirements and Part 21 for complete assurance and compliance for safety related applications.
The software and the firmware are frozen for the recorders that are supplied by Wyle Laboratories. Chessell has committed to the long-term availability of these frozen versions.

Wyle Labs, an independent testing laboratory and sales organization, provides all the necessary documentation and support for the use of Chessell recorders in the nuclear power sector. Your regional Chessell representative will work with Wyle Labs towards the certification of recorders for your application.
