Easy to integrate
The versadac recorder provides many features
and options that can bring real benefit in
standalone applications or it can be easily
integrated into any wider process using native
communications options for Modbus Master
TCP/IP, RTU and EtherNet/IP.
Batch Control
Powerful batch functionality is included within the
recorder and, combined with the ability to group
data into up to 30 groups, the instrument can run
up to 30 simultaneous batches. The Batch
software option enables the user to enter specific
information relating to a batch and record this
alongside the process data. The feature provides
up to 10 operator entry fields which can be
configured for manual or automatic data entry.
These free format fields may be used to store
Batch Number, Job Number, Customer Name,
Cycle Number, etc. Operator details will be
logged with the rest of the batch data on start
and/or stop of the batch, providing complete
process traceability.
