Data Acquisition & Telemetry


New control and measurement station

January 2002 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

Yokogawa South Africa, one of the global leaders in recorders, is releasing a new member in the DAQstation family of data acquisition instruments. The DAQstation CX is a further development of the successful DAQstation DX. It incorporates up to a maximum of sx internal PID control loops and 16 externally connected controllers. It is the next step in the new generation of advanced videographic recorders.

The CX offers a small-scale, 'install and control', based data monitoring and logging system. The embedded control loops reduce the number of hardware components and the use of a serial link to external (remote) controllers significantly reduces the amount of wiring. This offers, in combination with pre-configured realtime information, historical information, control group and PID tuning displays, an 'out of the box, ready to go' solution.

The unit also includes a built-in web-server and an e-mail generation function. The web-server offers remote display control through the Internet by using commercially available web browsers. The e-mail function sends messages on alarm occurrence, periodic data, report data, etc.

Designed to meet the needs of operators, plant engineers and plant management. It features an easy to use interface, using a special 'mouse-like' keypad and intuitive menus. The 10-Base-T Ethernet interface offers connectivity with LAN, WAN and the Internet. Users can choose from a range of graphical display screens to view measured data, alarm statuses and messages. A brilliant colour TFT display provides high clarity and definition of displayed information. It is easy to find specified historical trend data on the DAQstation's CX displays, stored in its internal or external memory (floppy disk, ZIP or ATA flash card). Automatic file transfer by FTP protocol provides solid data backup and makes the trend and event data, alarm logs and summary reports available for engineers and management.

The DAQstation CX includes the CX1000 and CX2000 series. The CX2000 series features a 246 mm (10,4") high-resolution TFT colour display, and is available with 10 or 20 universal inputs and 2, 4, or 6 embedded PID controllers. The smaller CX1000 series features a 140 mm (5,5") high-resolution TFT colour display, and is available with six universal inputs and two embedded PID controllers.

Dedicated software supports the new enhancements on top of existing functions like DAQstation remote configuration, file transfer, on-line monitoring and historical trend analysis in a client/server PC environment. The DAQstation CX itself acts as a client or server on a LAN or WAN.
