Bridge The Seamless Interface From the Plant Floor to Your PC.
Bridge offers the user the remote capability to:
  • View all process data - live and historically
  • Completely configure the 5000B
  • Download or save configurations
  • Start and stop batches
  • Configure archiving strategies or to demand an immediate archive of the process data
  • Create custom views

Bridge
is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, software package giving total access to the Eurotherm Chessell family of data management recorders - including viewing of data, operation and configuration of the unit. Bridge gives you a connection between a Eurotherm Chessell Paperless Graphic Recorder and any PC anywhere in the world - using a Local Area Network, dial-up connection, Intranet or the Internet. No longer do you need to be near to the process to access live or recorded data, view and acknowledge alarms - or even to change the configuration of your data recording. Bridge is powerful and flexible but does not compromise the security of your data: Each user can have a specific User Name and Password with customized security access - allowing anything from just viewing data to controlling batches or full configuration permissions. If required, the Auditor features can be enabled to provide the most advanced data security and trace ability available.

User Defined Graphical Display
Chessell Paperless Graphic Recorders have a vertical trend, horizontal trend, vertical bar graph, horizontal bar graph and numerical standard displays. Bridge can also be used with the screen Builder feature, enabling the user to create process specific displays so that data can be viewed in the most interpretable format. Up to six additional views may be created to best reflect the given process. Information from multiple Groups of data may be placed on a single display giving the operator a view of multiple processes (and multiple batches) on a single screen. Plant mimics may be created or images downloaded as backgrounds to show the process most clearly. Screen Builder truly makes a standard product into a process specific special.

 

As with many other standard PC software packages, a single PC can have multiple Bridge windows open giving views and operation of multiple recorders on the plant floor. A single 5000B can be viewed and operated by up to four PC connections at any one time - allowing multiple users and supervisors to view the process.
