DataChart® DC-2000 Paperless Recorder Series

If you demand:

Higher reliability
Increased flexibility
Optimum efficiency
Lower costs
DataChart 2000 Series Paperless Recorders are the instruments for you!

Overview
The Data-Chart 2000 has 2, 4, 6 or 12 direct universal isolated inputs that are menu selectable for DC voltage, DC current and thermocouples. The intuitive Touchscreen control provides easy, fast set up and operation.

Display
Our brilliant 5.6" (142mm) active matrix TFT color display is the largest in it’s class and with a special anti-glare coated Touchscreen the viewability is second to none. If you need a more economical solution, the DC2000 can also be ordered with a super bright blue monochromatic display.

Recording
Data is stored in non-volatile internal RAM and downloaded to removable media automatically on a preset basis or on demand. Standard removable storage is CompactFlash® up to 2 GB or if your are old fashioned order the 3.5" 1.44Mb disk drive.

Speed
A measurement rate of 8 samples per second for 1 channel makes the DC2000 ideal for recording process signals that change quickly such as pressure. Or, if you require information less frequently, you can select to record between 8 samples per second and ten minutes.

Communications
Communication options offer great flexibility in accessing data or controlling the DC2000. Data can be accessed and downloaded over standard phone line using the RS232C option and a modem. The RS485 MODBUS option will allow the DC2000 to be installed into an existing MODBUS network or you can connect up to thirty one recorders in series. The 10BaseT Ethernet port option allows direct connection to LAN’s or WAN’s and the standard TCP/IP protocol means that you can transfer data over the Internet

There are more than 20 display modes to choose from. This gives you unparalleled flexibility to view only the data you need to see in virtually any format. Grouping of channels maximizes efficiency

Efficiency, Flexibility and Data Integrity

Time is Money! Corporate down-sizing and cost cutting leaves you with less time to accomplish your goals. Data-Chart recorders are virtually maintenance free. No paper or pens to replace, no mechanical parts to wear out and because they are digital instruments, they requires less time to calibrate. This allows you to use your time more efficiently.

We’re Flexible. DataChart recorders are unparalleled in providing the highest level of flexibility of any paperless recorder made in the world. Universal inputs, networking capability, powerful math packages and a multitude of display choices allow you to display, record and communicate your data the way you want.

Because your data is so important Data Chart recorders were designed to be ultra-reliable. We chose the finest components available and combined them with a robust modular mechanical structure. Our optimized design means fewer components are needed. Fewer components means fewer failures.Up to 2 Megabytes of non-volatile memory keeps your data safe. You will never lose recorded data, even during a power outage. Data is downloaded automatically to your choice of removable media: 3.5” 1.44 Meg disk or CompactFlash™ card (up to 2 Gig in size).

Viewability, Setup and Display Modes

You can choose from more than 20 different display modes including trends, bargraphs and digital indicators. Select pen colors, background colors and much more. Our intuitive touchscreen control makes configuring the DC2000 a breeze. We make full use of our screen with a large, easy to follow menu system. The DC2000 has a brilliant 5.6” TFT active matrix color LCD display which is the largest of any 144mm square recorder. We’ve even added a special anti-glare coating to optimize viewability under any conditions.

Companion and Guardian Software Packages

Companion Software is a powerful and intuitive Windows based application that allows you to monitor real time data or review previously recorded data in graphic or tabular format, search files for specific events, link alarm and event files to trended data, print graphic or tabular files and export files to spreadsheet applications such as Excel.Recorder configurations are easily generated using Companion Software and can be downloaded to your recorders storage media and transferred to the recorder or transferred directly over ethernet or serial line communications. Monitor, configure and control up to 32 units with the RS485 Modbus option or control from remote locations using a modem connection. Whatever the application, Companion Software puts you in complete control.

Guardian Software allows you to create a complete single station data supervisory and storage system. If you need to monitor data in real time or if you require redundant data storage to a PC, Guardian Software is the solution.Multiple Data-Chart 2000’s can be placed on a standard ethernet or Modbus network along with your other plant instruments and monitored in real time. In addition, data can be stored on your local PC greatly improving data management and security!
