Free batch functionality with ABB ScreenMaster 2000 recorders until 2010

Listen to this article

ABB is offering free batch recording software with its ScreenMaster 2000 videographic data recorders until 2010.

Capable of storing up to 2.9 million data samples, the 12-channel ScreenMaster 2000 incorporates a host of features aimed at ensuring effective and secure recording of data for a broad range of industrial applications. With the addition of the free batch software, the device offers the ideal means of quickly accessing and analysing specific batch records.

As well as a host of standard batch features, including local and remote control, the batch software also includes a lifecycle analysis function, providing a single point of access to recorded data for every separate production process applied to a batch.

The recorder”s batch recording function enables operators to enter essential batch information alongside the process data being recorded. This batch information is archived for subsequent retrieval, with each batch being tagged with its identification data. Using this data, operators can quickly locate complete production records for individual batches. It is also possible to identify batches with common attributes such as the time they were produced, the equipment they were processed with or the material used to produce them.

To prevent unauthorised tampering, the ScreenMaster 2000 offers a comprehensive raft of security, recording and display features. Standard security features include the ability to configure and allocate multiple users with individual password and access rights. There is also the option of an internal security switch protected by a tamper-proof seal, preventing unauthorised personnel from altering the recorder”s configuration.

Data integrity is further protected by an internal audit trail, which logs any configuration changes made and records who made the changes and when, as well as the details of all datafiles created and many other events key to process data security, such as calibration changes.

Added measures to protect the security of archived data are also included in DataManager, ScreenMaster”s data analysis software. When batches are reviewed, the software automatically checks the integrity of the binary encoded data files to ensure the data collected is valid. Using the software, recorded data is automatically collated into a ready-to-use database, with powerful search functionality allowing operators to quickly locate the batch records they wish to review.

The SM2000 is backed up by a comprehensive local service and support network, offering everything from commissioning to upgrades, throughout the life of the product.
