Libratherm offers Microprocessor based Sixteen Channel Temperature / Process Data Logger model DATALOG-16, which is most suitable for continuous monitoring and logging of temperature or process parameters at maximum 16 different locations. Each input has independent amplifier and hence each can be selected for different type of input. All the channels are displayed with the respective channel numbers. The front panel LED shows the Alarm status. For data logging of more than 16 channels more than one DATALOG-16 can be used. Single data logger can also be used for monitoring group of systems, each with variable number of process inputs with maximum eight groups. For example, 16 inputs may come from 4 furnaces each with 4 nos. of thermocouples. The data logging for each furnace can be done separately on single 16 channel data logger. The start and stop operation for each furnace can be initiated by 4 independent logic inputs.

Datalog-16 offers, built in data storage, common or individual high or low alarm set point with relay outputs, parallel Centronics interface and / or serial PC interface. The built in Real Time Clock allows real time data logging, parallel printer port allows on line and off line printing of the data on dot matrix printer and RS232/RS485 serial port allows data logging on to the PC. Required data acquisition software (DAS) operating on Windows (98, 2000, XP or Vista) is also offered for on line and off line viewing of all the channels on the computer screen in both graphical and tabular representation. Libratherm offers, standard and customized PC based software to meet user’s requirement.

PC BASED INTERFACING SOFTWARE (DAS) :
Libratherm offers customized data logging software to meet various applications. The communication between the data logger and the PC is established using RS232/RS 485 interfacing bus and the data transfer are based on the MODBUS ASCII protocol. The supporting window based software available on the CD is required to be pre loaded onto the computer.

When the PC is connected to the data logger, the data can be on line transferred to the PC where the PC acts as a master and sends queries to the data logger to send the real time data with date, time, channel number and process values. The pc will process these data to store in the tabular as well as the graphical format, which can be viewed on demand as on line or offline data. The software allows user to store other information, such as, Company name, Batch number, process name, as well as certain customized fields. This makes the software user friendly and dedicated to the requirement.

When the PC is not connected to the data logger, the datas can be stored in the built in internal memory or in the external memory card (LIMEM-128) of the data logger. These stored data can be later on dumped on to the PC for direct display of graph and table.

The following screens shows such software features.
