Eurotherm Chessell 5180V 12.1" Color Touch Graphic Data Acquisition Recorder

DATA ACQUISITION
The 5180V is the largest unit of the 5000 Series offering up to 48 input channels with a 125ms total sample rate and 27 relay outputs. Universal input channels accept thermocouples, 2/3-wire RTD's, DC mA (w/shunt), DC millivolts and volts (-20 to +100), potentiometer and contact closure. Each channel is individually isolated channel to channel, channel to electronic common and channel to ground (all 300V RMS).
The 48 input channels can be configured to be updated using Ethernet or Serial Modbus comms (no input channel hardware thus is required) and the 48 math channels can similarly be configured for a total of 96 points.

The 5180V has 13.25 Mb internal Flash memory for secure, short term, data storage. As standard, the 5180V has a removable PC Flash Card slot accessible from the front. Data stored within the internal memory can be archived to the Flash card (or floppy) on demand or at preset intervals. The 5180V will give indication of how long its internal memory and that of the removable media installed will last according to the configuration of the recorder. Data is stored in a tamper-proof binary format that can be used for secure, long term records of your process.

Ethernet communications (FTP, modbus/TCP and SNTP) is standard on the 5180V. The 5180V can be configured to archive data automatically to an FTP Server. For example, a Windows 2000/XP PC running IIS. Archiving files over the Ethernet effectively gives a secure, infinite archiving capacity.

	Approximate duration for continuous recording of one Group of six channels is shown in the table to the left.

Serial ASCII (Bar Code Scanner Input) or Modbus RTU digital communications is optional. Both Ethernet and Serial modbus are available optionally as Masters for integration of remote I/O or remote PID controllers such as the Eurotherm model 2500.

DATA VISUALIZATION
The 5180V has a color SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) 12'1" TFT LCD with cold cathode backlight, fitted with a resistive analog, Touch-Panel designed for ease of use and simple configuration. We understand the need for data to be represented in the most interpretable format for the operator. The 5180V offers vertical trend, horizontal trend, vertical bar graph, horizontal bar graph and numeric standard displays. In addition, with the Screen Builder feature, up to four additional displays can be customized to best reflect the given process. Any of the standard display formats can be placed anywhere on the screen. Pictures may also be loaded into a 5180V for use as a background image. This truly makes a standard product into a process specific special!

The Bridge 5000 software permits any remote PC user to login (Maximum of 4 simultaneously) and create a realtime process monitor. The PC will display a window that represents any of the screens possible on the 5180V or any 5000 Series to which it is connected and display live data. This software provides unparalleled viewing and full engineering access (with strict access control) of real-time data.

DATA REPORTING

Eurotherm Review (free) and Report 5000 are 2 software packages used for offline data analyzing and reporting. Review enables PC based storage, display, printing and exporting of the secure binary archive files from the 5180V. Report 5000 is an Excel plug-in used in conjunction with the Review database to generate custom, automatic or standard template reports from Excel. Any Eurotherm recorder data in a Review database can be accessed by Report 5000. Once the data has been transferred to the Review database, data can be accessed by Report 5000 independently of the Review software. Report 5000 Excel Add-in is supplied on CD and works with Excel 97, 2000 or XP. The Add-in help file is also directly accessible from the Excel help system.

	21 CFR Part 11
In the 5180V and its companion products, Eurotherm Chessell offers a new range of products with 21 CFR Part 11 capability. Termed the 5000 Series, three hardware products and two software products provide the user with the 21 CFR Part 11 features required. High security data recording is provided in internal memory plus on board data media such as PCMCIA card or floppy disk plus full Ethernet network capability for archival of data automatically using Review software.
A further software package called Bridge enables remote access to the data via the Ethernet network. Data can be retrieved via local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or via the Internet. Security procedures are available to prevent unauthorized access.
The 5100V ( 5.5 inch touch screen ) and 5180V ( 12.1 inch touch screen ) with auditor features offer data recording with the addition of the capabilities required to be compliant with the rule. Capable of stand alone operation or integration into a factory wide Ethernet network using Modbus TCP/IP protocol, these products are aimed specifically at the pharmaceutical and healthcare market.
