Product Overview

The RDP-19 paperless recorder is multi-function instrument combining the functionality of a digital chart recorder, multi-channel panel meter, data logger, alarm monitor and SCADA (supervisory data acquisition and control) all in one low cost easy to use instrument. The RDP-19 rich feature set includes:

• Ultra-thin integrated design
  The thin 38mm design consumes minimal space and can be easily mounted in a panel or cabinet for laboratory or industrial use.

• Easy to use touch screen display
  Modern industrial-grade touch screen allows all parameters to be configured from an easy to use interface.

• Highly reliable hardware design
  Independent processing for the graphic interface and data logging; ensuring separate control and real-time sampling to meet the stringent requirements of industrial applications while maintaining low power operation.

• Minimal channel to channel Interference
  The RDP-19 uses high-performance components which greatly reduce temperature drift and reduce the interference between the respective channels, ensuring that measurement accuracy and noise immunity are on par with single channel measurement  instruments.

• Rich data logging
  A paperless recorder with data logging capabilities which can display real- time trends, historical trends and provide a record of data logging and alarm events. It has 150M of storage space. The stored data can be viewed on the recorder as a trend curve and/or table format The data may also be exported to a PC in an Excel compatible format through the USB port to a USB flash drive .

• Flexible configurations according to the customers’ requirements
  The paperless recorder is hardware configured with the use of I/O modules that populate up to 5 internal IO slots. Various types of modules are available depending on the application. Each module can be independently configured for alarm, communication and sampling functions.

6.2 Panel Meter Display Screen (Panel Button)
The Multi Panel Display Screen is entered by clicking the Panel button along the bottom of the recorder screen. The panel meter is the main display from which all the recorder functions may be accessed by pressing the buttons on the bottom of the screen. These functions include trend display, data history.
alarms and recorder configuration. 6.2.1 Panel Meter Display
The Panel display provides a digital display of the data, like virtual panel meters. The units and channel label are set through the meter options (MeterOpt) menu.
6.2.2 Alarm Status
When the instrument is in an alarm state, the channel name background is displayed in red. When the channel name background is shown as off-white, the channel is in a non-alarm-state. If the process value goes over range the meter display will show “Oral”
6.2.3 Single Channel Display Screen (Operation Button) By pressing the Operation button, you will enter the single channel display screen which will provide a graph and meter display of that single channel. You can also enter this screen by pressing on the channel label from the Panel Meter screen. Once in the single channel display screen, press the Set button to display a screen which will allow the high and low alarm values (HIAL, LOAL) , the process value offset (Scb) and the alarm hysteresis(HYS) to be set. 6.3 Real Time Trend Screen (Curve Button)

Press the Enter button to confirm and save the data. The currently displayed alarm table will be exported to the USB drive to an Excel compatible file named almdata.csv.
Please note; it may take a few minutes after the USB flash drive is inserted before it is recognized by the recorder.
6.7 Channel Configurations Screen (MeterOpt Button)
The channel configuration screen provides access to viewing and modifying the major setting related to the recorder operation. Upon entering the channel configuration screen all of configuration parameters for the current channel will be displayed. By pressing the PreCH and NextCH buttons the previous and next channels parameters may be viewed/modified.

Modifying the current channel parameters
Clicking on a parameter will bring up a menu that will allow the entry to be changed either by direct entry or from a selection of multiple choices. Once all the parameters have been changed press the DownLoad button to save the changes to the recorder.

Channel Parametesr
A summary of the channel parameters is given below. A more complete description is provided in the Appendix.. .

• This parameter is not active in the current configuration of the recorder.

Appendix

7.1 Channel Parameters

Setting|

Description

---|---
High Alarm Limit Value (HIAL)| High alarm value for the selected input channel (n). When the measured value is goes above the corresponding channel HIAL a high limit alarm is triggered. The alarm will stay active until the process value drops below the alarm limit less the hysteresis value (ie, HIAL- dF)
Low Alarm Limit Value (LOAL)| Low alarm value for the selected input channel(n). When the measured value drops below the corresponding channel LOAL a low limit alarm is triggered. The alarm will stay active until the process value rises above the alarm limit plus the hysteresis value (ie, LOAL+ dF) The alarm function should not be set to the limit value to avoid the alarm action.
Hysteresis Deadband (DF)| The hysteresis deadband is used to avoid rapid fluctuations of the alarm state condition caused by input values which hover around the limit alarm value. For a high limit alarm condition to reset the value must not only drop below the high limit alarm but below the high limit alarm minus the hysteresis deadband Low limit alarms will not reset until a process value goes above the low limit alarm plus the hysteresis deadband..
Input Specification (Sn)| Allows the input type is set for each channel. The input types are specific to the input module installed:
Thermocouples: K, S, R, T, E,J, B, N, WRe3-WRe25, WRe5-WRe26
IR Thermometer: F2
RTDs: Cu50, PT100, PT100*((- 100.00~+ 300.00 °C)
Millivolt: 0-20mV, 0-75mV, 0-100mV
Voltage: , 0-5V, 1-5V
Milliamp: 0-20mA, 4-20mA
Calculations: Square root of 4-20mA (J4 module), Square root of 1-5V(J3 module)
Decimal Point Position (dIP)| dIP is used to set the decimal point position.
(1) For linear Input (eg. voltage): dIP = 0 => 0
dIP = 1 => 0.0
dIP = 2=> 0.00
dIP = 3=> 0.0
(2) For thermocouples or RTD input: dIP = 0 => 1 ℃. dIP = 1 => 0.1 ℃.
NOTE: This setting is only valid for display, the measurement resolution is fixed at an internal value of 0.1 ℃, it does not affect communication or transmission output. When set to 0.1 ℃, the  temperature measurements above 1000 ℃ will automatically switch to 1 ℃ resolution.
Lower Limit of the Scaled Input (DI)| This parameter applies to voltage and current inputs. It sets the upper limit of the input value so it may be scaled to engineering units
Upper Limit of the Scaled Input (dIH)| This parameter applies to voltage and current inputs. It sets the lower limit of the input value so it may be scaled to engineering units
Offset Correction (Sc)| Sc is an offset correction applies to the process value. It is most often use with temperature sensors to correct errors in the sensor
Digital Filtering Value (dL)| dL is the intensity setting for the digital filter. The value may be set from 0-40 where, 0 is no filtering and 40 is the maximum digital filter level. Increasing the digital filter will produce a more stable measurement reading but will also slow the response time. It is generally recommended to start with no filtering and increase the filtering as needed.
Alarm Output Position Assignment (ALP)| ALP assigns the physical outputs associated with the internal alarms generated by HIAL and LOAL. The value for ALP is a two-digit value where the least significant digit (units’ position) assigns the HIAL alarm and the most significant digit (tens position) assigns the LOAL.alarm. Valid values are 0, 3 and 5 where 0 is no alarm, 3 is the relay in slot ALM and 5 is the relay in slot AUX. A typical assignment is for the same relay to be used for both the high and low alarm condition resulting in a value of 33 or 55. If more than one channel is set to activate an output, the control of that output is determined by a logical OR of the alarms. That is if any channel goes into an alarm state, the output will be activated.
Advanced Function (AF)| Currently used for internal configuration.
Normally Open / Normally Closed Setting (nonc)| **** This parameter is not active in the current configuration of the recorder.
Output Type (OPn)| Sets the output configuration. Alarm output is the only valid setting for the recorder’s current configuration.
Output Current Low Limit (OPL)| This parameter is not active in the current configuration of the recorder.
Output Current High Limit (OPH)| This parameter is not active in the current configuration of the recorder.
