Large display and Ethernet for
industrial recorder
Industrial recorder combines 180mm chart width with a large dot-matrix (181 x 16) vacuum fluorescent display and Ethernet capability.
The Yokogawa uR20000 is an industrial recorder that combines 180mm chart width with a large display and Ethernet capability The recorder's full dot-matrix (181 x 16) vacuum fluorescent display improves the display of measurement data and allows more flexibility in how that data can be viewed

Batch validation meets FDA record requirements
A batch validation package that complies with the latest FDA requirements on the storage of electronic records in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries has been introduced by Yokogawa.
It allows the combined display of measured numerical values and bar graphs, and provides navigational functions that simplify the initial parameter setup procedure.
The number of components has been decreased compared with earlier models through the use of advanced moulding technology and by downsizing and densely integrating mechanical parts such as the servomotor.
As a result, the uR20000 consumes 20% less power and weighs 10% less than earlier Yokogawa 180mm recorders.
The use of custom-designed integrated circuits also results in reduced power consumption, increased lifespan of components and the suppression of heat emissions.
The uR20000 has a wide choice of recording and printing functions.
Traces can be compressed or expanded partially to record data according to the measurement conditions, and a separate zone can be allocated for recording each channel.
It is also possible to print measured data, points of alarm occurrence or cancellation, and messages.
Ethernet compatibility, available as an option, allows measured data to be acquired over an Ethernet network, in addition to the conventional RS422A and RS485 interfaces.
The Modbus protocol is also supported.
The family consists of one, two, three and four-pen and six, 12, 18 and 24-dot models, and features a universal input which supports a wide range of input sensors.
High withstand voltage semiconductor relays are used in the scanners that switch the input signal, allowing high-speed scanning of six dots per second or 12 to 24 dots in 2.5s while improving reliability and reducing noise.
Other features include a dust and splashproof front door conforming to DIN 40050-IP54, a chart cassette which enables a historical trend review to be carried out during recording, and a range of mathematical functions.
The recorder can be used with Yokogawa's Daqlogger data-logging software for PC-based storage and analysis of recorded data.
Daqlogger also allows the recorder to be incorporated into a real-time data-logging environment with up to 32 recorders, data acquisition instruments and controllers.
