Data Monitor KS 3002 Screen recorder - West Control Solutions - #1

Text version of the page

PROFILE The Data Monitor KS 3002 is a freely configurable, microprocessor-controlled device for measuring, storing, visualizing, monitoring, printing and evaluating process data. Fitted with 3 or 6 universal inputs, the KS 3002 accepts signals from direct current and voltage sources, thermocouples, and resistance thermometers. The measured data are stored in a FLASH memory, where they are available for display on the colour screen. For long-term storage, the data are written onto a CompactFlash. By means of suitable software, the stored data can also be used for subsequent evaluation and analysis on a PC. The data monitor KS 3002 is intended for use in industrial applications and is designed for panel mounting in a cut-out of 138 x 138 mm. The front panel has protection class IP 54 and measures 144 x 144 mm. DESCRIPTION Measurement and inputs The KS 3002 has 3 or 6 universal analog inputs for direct current and voltage signals, thermocouples and resistance thermometers. Sensor type and measurement range are freely configurable. Internal linearization is provided for thermocouple and resistance thermometer signals. The inputs are galvanically isolated by means of opto-couplers. The sampling rate is fixed at 250 ms (regardless of the number of inputs), enabling the unit to be used as a point or line recorder. As an option, 4 digital inputs can be fitted in addition to the 3 or 6 analog inputs. With the „Mathematics“ option, one analog input is required per computation. Operation and configuration Operation and configuration of the data monitor is menu-guided by means of 8 keys in the front panel. Five of the keys are „softkeys“ whose functions are context-dependent. This ensures confident operation, because the permitted functions are always displayed at the bottom of the screen as symbols. Unauthorized access to the configuration can be password-protected. Configuration data can be uploaded onto a CompactFlash from the KS 3002, or downloaded from a CompactFlash into the KS 3002. By means of an Engineering Tool (see Accessories), the unit can be configured via a PC, with Windows 95/98 or NT/2000/XP. Subsequently, the configuration data can be uploaded into the KS 3002 and changed, if necessary. The „copy“ function enables the same parameters to be downloaded into other units. Furthermore, the configuration data can be stored on a data carrier for archiving or printing. Before the KS 3002 is mounted in the panel, the configuration data can be loaded directly from the PC via an interface cable (r Accessories). The operating language is selectable on-screen for English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Russian or Finnish. The Engineering Tool provides a choice of English, German or French. PC-based evaluation software This software package (see Accessories) runs under Windows 95/98 or NT/2000/XP and is used for visualization, evaluation, administration, and archiving of measurement data stored by the KS 3002. The available functions are as follows: – The data from differently-configured monitors is recognized and stored in a database. The entire data administration is executed automatically, whereby the user only has to enter an identifier. – The user has direct access to data that has been specified by means of the identifier. Furthermore, the periods to be evaluated can be limited. – New display groups can be configured at any time by assigning the required analog and digital inputs. – An export filter enables the data to be transferred to other programs, e.g. Excel, for further calculations.
