The touch screen is very much at the heart of the "Easy to use, Easy to Configure" nature of the 6000 series products. It is truly an easy way for operators to interact with the product.

In some manufacturing environments, a touch screen is not the most practical interface. With the 6000 series recorder, the user can choose to use any standard USB 'plug and play' keyboard and mouse in place of the touch screen. Either way, there are no complicated button press sequences.

• Memory sticks
• Keyboard and mouse
• Barcode scanner
• Floppy disk drive

The 6000 supports one USB port as standard (behind the flap at the front) and two additional, optional ports at the rear of the instrument. USB devices can be plugged in to these ports to add features in many combinations. If a keyboard and mouse is plugged into any of these ports they will simply work - no configuration is required.

A memory stick can be used as an additional data archiving device - simply say which USB port you want to archive to. A USB barcode scanner can be used to record bar code information directly into operator data entry fields including batch fields. A USB floppy disk drive can be used to maintain compatibility with similarly configured legacy recorders.

• Data stored in proprietary binary, check-summed format
• Special user access permission, configurable for each user
• Comprehensive Electronics Records and Elecronic Signatures meeting 21 CFR Part 11
• Large onboard non-volatile memory

The 6000 Series recorders have the most powerful and flexible security capability in any recorder of its class.
 
To ensure data is not lost, multiple archiving strategies can be set up for long-term data storage - data can be automatically archived at a configurable time period to one of the removable media (Compact Flash /USB Memory Stick /USB Floppy Disk Drive) and/or via FTP transfer across the network.
 

• Option Boards
• USB Peripherals

 
The 6000 series offer high speed auto-sensing 10/100baseT Ethernet capability.  Available comms protocols are ASCII, FTP, Modbus RTU, and Modbus TCP.
 
USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectivity provides for the use of USB memory sticks as an additional data storage media. Additionally, USB devices including keyboard, mouse, bar code scanner, and floppy disk drives are plug and play.

• Maths
• Totalisers
• Counters
• Events

The 6000E offers an optional 12 virtual channels, configurable as Maths, Totalisers, or Counters. This configuration is software selectable on the unit, eliminating the need for a new key code to change the mix.
