It provides 12 recording channels and up to 12 universal analog inputs which can be viewed in a variety of display formats: chart, bargraph, digital indicator and process summary. Historical logs are provided for recording alarms, operator and system events and totalizer values. The SM1000 has onboard Flash memory for secure storage of process data. A choice of removable storage devices are available; either SmartMedia or Compact Flash.

Application areas include:

• Water treatment plants
• Cold storage
• Stack gas monitoring
• Environmental monitoring
• Autoclaves
• Food, Dairy & Beverage processing
• Furnaces
• Heat treatment
• Pulp & Paper

Simplicity of Use

• Six dedicated tactile keys are used for all aspects of operation and configuration of the SM1000.
• During everyday operation each key has a specific function ensuring simplicity of use.
• The use of a Windows-style pop-up menu and configuration screens ensures that the operation of the SM1000 is exceptionally easy and instantly familiar.

Guaranteed Data Integrity

• The use of Flash memory technology ensures that the SM1000 is not reliant on batteries to preserve stored data during a power failure.
• In the internal memory, data is stored in small blocks with each block containing a checksum to ensure the integrity of that data.
• Internal flash memory is provided for buffering of process data. At any time the complete memory can be reviewed in the Chart View of the SM1000. Once this memory is full it automatically wraps-around and overwrites the oldest data, ensuring that the latest process data is always captured.
• 12 recording channels are provided, as standard, which can be used to record any analog, digital or communications (via Modbus™) signal. Two sample rates can be preset in the configuration of the SM1000; a primary and a secondary (fast or slow). Automatic switching between these two sample rates allows detailed information to be stored under specific process conditions, for example, critical process states or alarm conditions. Through the use of pre-storage filters it is possible to record the average, max./min. or instantaneous value of any analog data.

Industrial Standard, Robust, Archive Storage

• Either SmartMedia or Compact Flash memory cards can be used for archiving purposes. The solid state nature of these devices ensures that the SM1000 can truly operate in ambient temperatures up to 50?C (122?F), whereas traditional electromechanical floppy disk drives can operate only in temperatures up to 40?C (104?F).
• Every write to the archive storage media is verified to ensure the integrity of the data.
• Process data can be archived to the removable media in either of two configurable formats, comma separated variable or binary encoded. In addition to the analog/digital recording channels, the alarm event, totalizer (if fitted) and audit logs can also be archived to the removable media.
• Security of all process data stored to the memory card is always ensured. Files stored in comma separated variable format are attributed with an Encrypted Digital Signature and files stored in binary format are securely encoded with inbuilt integrity checks. Both formats of data storage are compliant wit FDA standard 21 CFR Part II.
• A Media door lock is fitted as standard to prevent unauthorized access to the removable media.

PC Interface for Archive Storage Media

Through the use of PC adapters for SmartMedia and Compact Flash, both options provide the advantages of very robust, solid-state storage with the convenience-of-use previously found only with floppy disks.

• A SmartMedia-to-floppy disk drive adapter enables SmartMedia cards to be read directly by the existing floppy disk drive on your computer.
• Archives stored on Compact Flash and SmartMedia can be accessed via a reader which plugs into the parallel or USB port of a desk/lap-top computer.

Low Cost of Ownership

The large capacity of the storage media used on the SM1000 ensures that the requirement for operator intervention to transfer the data to a PC on a regular basis is greatly reduced. Older floppy disk technology, used by many other manufacturers of graphical recorders, limits storage capability significantly, sometimes to levels below the ability of a traditional paper recorder. See below for an example of how memory storage times vary depending on the media device. The example shows the recording duration for a 6-channel recorder with a sample time of 10s configured to use binary archiving. Also included in the example is how these storage times compare with a traditional paper recorder.

The SM500F is a field-mountable videographic recorder. Its unique enclosure design enables wall-, pipe- or panel-mounting of the unit. Process data is displayed clearly to the local operator through a variety of display formats, including chart, bargraph and digital indicator displays. Additionally, process data is logged securely to the removable memory card. Ethernet communications provide convenient remote monitoring of the process and access to logged data.

Unique Enclosure

The SM500F is housed in a unique enclosure for a videographic recorder. 'Out of the box' it is possible to either wall- or panelmount the device. The SM500F can also be pipe-mounted using the optional kit. In any type of installation the SM500F's enclosure meets both IP66 and NEMA 4X hose-down standards. This means that the unit requires no costly additional enclosures or protection when mounted in applications that require frequent hose-down.

When panel-mounted the SM500F's ultra slim profile requires a panel depth of only 67mm (2.7 in.). This ensures that there are no problems when replacing existing recording devices and enables the SM500F to be installed into existing panels where required.

Save Time and Money

The unique enclosure design of the SM500F enables it to be wall-mounted without the need for additional costly enclosures. To wall-mount a traditional videographic recorder, an additional enclosure must be sourced and a cut-out made to suit the recorder, glanded cable entries made and any internal wiring required for safety regulations installed and tested. The work involved in producing such an enclosure increases costs and installation times significantly.

Flexible Recording

8 software recording channels are featured in the SM500F as standard. Up to 4 physical analog/digital inputs can be fitted to the SM500F and assigned to a software recording channel. The remaining software recording channels can be used to record math block results, alarm status, signals communicated via Modbus TCP or any other analog or digital signal available within the recorder. Each software recording channel features 4 process alarms and 2 optional totalizers.

High Specification I/O

The SM500F features up to 4 fully universal inputs. Each input can be configured to accept a variety of process signals directly – including mA, mV, RTD (3- or 4-wire), thermocouple, voltage, resistance or digital signal. Process data can be logged at the high speed of 100mS. All analog/digital inputs have 500V channel-to-channel isolation. Included as standard is a relay output that can be driven from process alarms, memory card capacity warning or many other events. Two additional relays can be added if required. The SM500F can be upgraded easily with additional I/O due to its modular design. When inserted, additional inputs or relay modules are recognized by the recorder and can then be configured ready for use.

Ease of Use

Operation of the SM500F is performed via dedicated operator keys on the front panel. All operation and configuration is performed via intuitive Windows-style menus. The SM500F includes context-sensitive online help that quickly assists the operator when required. This enables the SM500F to be installed quickly and configured without the use of the instruction manual.

Ethernet Communications

The SM500F can provide 10BaseT Ethernet communications via a standard RJ45 connector and uses industry-standard protocols TCP/IP, FTP and HTTP. The use of standard protocols enables easy connection into existing PC networks. Data File Access via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) The SM500F features FTP server functionality. This functionality provides high-speed access via Ethernet to data archived by the recorder.

• Using a standard web-browser or other FTP clients, data files contained within the SM500F's memory card can be accessed remotely and transferred to a PC or network drive.
• Four individual FTP users can be programmed into the SM500F. An access level can be configured for each user.
• All FTP log-on activity is recorded in the audit log of the SM500F.
• Using ABB’s data file transfer scheduler program, data files from multiple recorders can be backed-up automatically to a PC or network drive for long-term storage, ensuring the security of valuable process data and minimizing the operator intervention required.
