DR230 / DR240 expandable model

Connecting the main unit to each subunit with dedicated cables, you can easily configure a multi-channel hybrid recorder.

 

Input channels:

The number of input channels can be increased from 10 to 300 channels in steps of 10 channels.

 

Measurement interval:

500 ms maximum lInputs: Universal (DCV, TC, RTD, DI), DCV/TC/DI dedicated, power monitor, pulse, strain and direct current (mA) modules

 

Up to six subunits

can be connected to a main unit. Up to six input and/or output modules can be connected to one subunit.

 

Subunits can be

separated from the main unit by up to 500 m total cable length.

 

Memory devices

(specified when ordering): 3.5" floppy disk drive (FDD)

  

Computing functions

The main unit of the DR230 / DR240 with optional MATH feature can perform the four arithmetic operations, integration of measured data, and computations such as detection of maximum and minimum values, in realtime. Even without the optional feature, the DR230 / DR240 can compute linear scaling, difference and moving average. The results of such computations are transferred with the measured data to a PC, thus reducing system requirements on the PC and also resulting in more efficient analytical processing. The main computing functions are as follows. (The shortest computation period differs depending on the kind of computation.)

 

Standard computing functions

Linear scaling, moving average, differential calculation, pulse integration (when a pulse input module is recognized)

 

Optional functions

The four arithmetic operations, logic operations, related operations, calculation of absolute and relative values, and statistical calculations (maximum, minimum, mean, and integrated values for fixed intervals)

 

Report function (/M3)

You can calculate the maximum, minimum, average values, and integrated value of the measured results, and print hourly, daily and monthly reports. The calculated values are also recorded in the report results.

 

Memory function

You can select a floppy disk function with 512 kB SRAM capability for storage of information on a removable media. You can save several configuration setups and in addition store the measured data before and after an alarm, and also calculated values. You can record the memorized data on DR230 / DR240 chart, transfer it off-line to a PC, or analyze it or make it into a report using commercially available spreadsheet software.

 

You can save the measured data in the following cases:

  • By manual command or when a communications command is input
  • When an alarm is detected
  • When the end of the chart is reached

The save modes are as follows:

  • Single: Data of the specified length is sampled once only.
  • Repeat: Data of the specified length is sampled exactly the number of times specified in advance.

    You can connect 10, 20 or 30 channels directly to the main unit. The DR240 stand-alone model, which comes with I/O modules already installed, is a high cost performance general-purpose model. The external appearance, recorder function, memory and communications functions of this model are identical to those of the expandable model. Because this model is of integrated construction, it can be carried about easily.
  • Universal and power monitor range
    Universal input type permit measurement of a variety of inputs including DC voltage, thermocouple, RTD and contact signals. Low cost type intended specifically for measuring voltage and thermocouple signals are available. You can also select power monitor (optional) for measuring AC voltage and current.
  • A variety of options, including general-purpose communications and DI/DO functions are available
    General-purpose communications (GP-IB, RS-232C, RS-422A/485 and Ethernet), 10 form C alarm output relays, DI/DO (2 alarm relays, remote control of recorder, CPU fail and chart end contacts). Specify your required options when ordering.
 
 
  Product Description:  
 
 

The DR240 hybrid multipoint recorder represents the next evolution of Yokogawa's successful HR2400 and HR2500E 10-inch recorders, using miniaturization to reduce the instrument's depth in half while increasing input capacity to as much as 300 points and 60 calculated channels.

This sophisticated hybrid recorder features the planar transformer and miniaturized solid state relays for reliable data collection, recording and display in a compact package.
The unit accepts universal inputs and offers an RS422 communication feature for multidrop networking of similar models for large installations.
The DR240 offers optional floating point mathematical computation capability with a 36-character formula per channel and 102-character vacuum fluorescent display. It is also available with a built-in 3.5-inch PC disk drive to store collected data, save setups, or to download programs into the recorder.
The DR240 is ideal for continuous emissions monitoring and generator temperature monitoring among other environmental and process applications.

  • High speed, accurate measurement:
    The DR230 / DR240 expandable model has a scanning speed of 500 ms/300 channels, while the stand-alone model scans up to 30 channels in 2 seconds.
  • Cost-effective
    The depth and weight of the DR230 / DR240 are significantly less than conventional multipoint strip chart recorders, thus reducing total
    control panel volume. A DR230 / DR240 configuration can also greatly reduce the amount of wiring needed, particularly for remote measurements, providing a favorable cost/performance ratio.
  • High expandability:
    The DR230 / DR240 can be flexibly configured and expanded to meet a wide range of recording, small-scale data logging and multi-point data acquisition needs. The recorder accepts a large variety of inputs including: voltage, temperature (thermocouple, RTD), contact, power monitor, pulse, strain and DCA signals.
  • High reliability and environmental durability:
    The DR230 / DR240 recorder provides high reliability and performance over a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • Support for efficient data:
    processing You can configure your personal computer based data acquisition environment with ease.
  • Expandable models
    The DR230 / DR240 expandable model enables you to start with a small number of channels, and conveniently expand, up to 300 channels.

Function Description
input Integration
mode selection

You can select the 50/60 Hz or 10 Hz integration mode. The 10 Hz integration mode is useful when power line noise containing both 50 Hz and 60 Hz components is superimposed on the signal. (When the 10 Hz integration mode is activated, the minimum measurement interval is 4 seconds.)

Low-pass filter You can insert a low-pass filter in the path of a signal on which noise components are superimposed. (When the filter
is ON, the minimum measurement period becomes more than 3 seconds, depending on the input types and channels.)
Scaling The input signal is displayed and/or recorded as an industrial quantity or a physical quantity.
Burn-out When the thermocouple input goes open circuit, the indicator moves to the 100% or 0% side.
Differential computation The difference between the reference channel and measured channel is measured.
Record Zone recording The recording area can be set freely for each channel.
Partially
compressed
recording
Unimportant parts are compressed, and only necessary parts are expanded, thus enabling the recording resolution to be increased.
Group
channel trend
Only channels that belong to a specified group are recorded. Switchover between groups can be done using a remote contact.
Alarm generation
channel trend
Trend recording takes place only for channels that emit an alarm.
Setting Memory backup The set data is protected by a lithium battery inside the unit.
Security The unit comes with a standard password lock function, preventing mis-operation and also protecting the set data.

Alarm

Setting You can set a 4-level alarm (upper and lower limits, difference between upper and lower limits,
percentage change rising and falling limits) for each channel.
Re-breakdown
re-alarm
The alarm output can be refreshed when an alarm is emitted.
Hold function Once an alarm is emitted, the alarm indication and relay state are held until the operator acknowledges the alarm
Option functions General purpose communication function (GP-IB, RS-232C) and alarm output relay (10 make contacts)
DI/DO functions (recorder action control function, fail function, chart end function), etc.
