Description

 

The VR06 is a panel mounted LCD chart recoder with alarms, maths functions and MODBUS based serial communications. Available as 3 or 6 channel analogue input models. There are 4 expansion slots for addition digital I/O cards. Virtually any sensor can be connected to the analogue inputs, thermocouples, PRT, mV, V, 4-20mA etc.

The VR06 stores data to a supplied 128M Compact Flash memory card at pre-set rates - 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60 or 120 seconds. Other sizes of CF memory card can be fitted up to 1G. The VR06 can also display channel data in real time in various formats on up to 6 different pages. This can be scrolling charts, bar charts, numeric display, or a combination of all in "Mixed mode".

Recorded data can also be recalled and displayed in "History" mode.

Each analogue input can be programmed with 2 sets of high/low/deviation alarms, and 2 seperate events can be instigated on alarm. This could be seting a relay output or generating a report. The VR18 also supports virtual channels, whereby a channel can be derrived from several others using a maths function. The digital inputs can also generate alarms or events. Alarms can be display and acknowledged on the larm List page.

The VR06 also has up to 6 counter/timer/totalize functions. Timer/counter functions can be used to generate reports at specific times on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The totalizer is useful for compling data for inclusion into reports.

The VR06 comes with an Ethernet port as standard and can be fitted with an RS232/485 port as an optional extra. The VR06 supports MODBUS RTU, and can easily integrate with any existing SCADA package. The VR18 also comes with the Observer software package whcih allows configuration, monitoring and data downloading.
