Memograph M – The new videographic recorder from Endress+Hauser
With the Memograph M the “Graphic Data Manager” Endress+Hauser presents its new videographic recorder. This innovative device is impressive due to its’ high functionality, modular construction and his intuitive operating system and perpetuates the success history of the Memograph product line.

The ideal application areas for the Memograph M can be found in process measurement and control areas of the water/wastewater, power and food as well as the pharmaceutical industry. The functionality, flexibility, secure data recording, informative measured value analysis and the superb measurement display have no limits in application creativity. The Memograph M is the "window to the process"!  

 

Generous basic features, flexibly expandable

As the only equipment on the market in this class the Memograph M internally includes up to 20 universal inputs, analyzes the raw data and stores analog values, counter values or quantities and simultaneously up to 6 different operating times or switch states. Up to 100 alarm set point values can be monitored and be retransmitted using the 6 relays included in the basic version. By means of Profibus or MODBUS the device can be expanded up to 40 channels and can be connected to SCADA and PLC systems. The processing of nonlinear signals is no longer a problem. Each input can be linearized using a linearization table with a maximum of 32 points. A loop power supply and 2 analog outputs provide additional flexibility.

 

Important information at a glance using a large 7 " display

The process values and reports are indicated on a high resolution 7” TFT which can be easily read from long distances thus giving the user direct front end access to both real time and historic operating data.

 

The large screen enhances the various display formats, such as curves, bar graph and also circular chart and instrument display. Depending on user requirements mixed display formats can also be set up.

 

Intuitive operation with navigator (Jog shuttle)

Set-up and operation is carried out using menus and dialogue windows in combination with 4 push buttons with the navigator giving the unit the most up-to-date "look and feel".

 

One of the highlight of the operator friendliness is the integrated on-line help which almost makes the published user manual superfluous.

 

Alternatively the Memograph M can also be operated using an external keyboard (USB).

 

Turn data into information

A comprehensive signal analysis processes the recorded signals in the device and stores these as day, week, month, annual analysis or counter values. Freely definable or externally controlled measurement periods are also possible. With its' optional mathematics and logic functions the Memograph M also masters the most demanding applications.

 

The highest data security using FDA compliant user administration

The integrated user administration is part of the safety package in the basic device and provides the highest data security and clear traceability of the processes. The device complies with the regulations defined by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) within the 21 CFR Part 11 regarding electronic data acquisition and is therefore suitable as a display and data acquisition system of safety relevant process parameters.

 

100 fold larger memory, also records fast changing signals (signal spikes)

The recorded data are saved safe from manipulation in the large internal 256 MB memory and can in addition also be transferred to the front mounted optional SD memory card or USB stick. A sampling rate of only 100 ms for all channels and a fast memory cycle of 100 ms are an additional exceptional feature.

 

Simple data exchange using standard interfaces such as USB, Ethernet or OPC

The integrated web server makes remote monitoring and access to current Memograph M process information possible using a standard Web browser. The integrated Ethernet or USB communication interface makes it possible to remotely download historical data or device set-up to a PC. The PC software package ReadWin® 2000, part of the standard delivery package, is used for parameter set-up, visualization and storage of the recorded data. An OPC server also provides a primary system with the current measurements.
