(PRWEB) October 23, 2005 -- Eurotherm Limited has announced its latest family of data recording solutions, the 6000 Series. The new range of advanced data recording products is claimed to set new standards in terms of ease of use, ease of configuration, security of data and adaptability. The Series, consisting initially of two advanced graphical (paperless) recorder models supported by a range of hardware and software options, will replace the earlier, widely used Eurotherm 5000V Series, with full software compatibility and interchange ability.
The 6000 Series incorporates the latest innovations in data management, recording and display technology, which Eurotherm say makes it the most advanced of its kind in the world. The company’s advanced proprietary data encryption techniques give it the most secure data recording currently available, while innovative touch screen displays provide outstanding brightness, clarity, and functionality. In addition, the instruments offer a large number of communications features, options and software tools that make them easily configurable for a wide spectrum of demanding applications across many industries.
Christopher King, Product Manager for the new Series, believes that it is an exceptionally powerful and worthy successor to the previous 5000 Series models. He comments:
“The 6000 series incorporates all of the proven data recording features of earlier models, plus a number of leading-edge innovations to give it world-beating performance. We believe that it is quite simply the most advanced, easy to use and versatile data recording solution available today.”
Clear, adaptable touch screens are a key feature of the new instruments, providing intuitive operator interfaces with no complicated button pressing sequences. Not only do they make menu selection and data entry easy, but the units can be configured in a WYSIWYG environment by “dropping in” one or more Java components from the comprehensive library supplied to create unique user screens.
‘Plug & Play’ USB devices can be simply interfaced with the unit without complex configuration procedures. In this way for instance, a memory stick can be used as an additional data archiving device, or a USB bar code scanner can be used to record bar code information. Every instrument has one USB port and two more can optionally be fitted.
The instruments can be ordered with varying levels of onboard flash memory, where a large amount of onboard storage of historical data is required, up to 96Mbyte of memory can be selected. Media choices include Compact Flash (CF), Secure Digital (SD) media, and USB memory stick.
One of the most powerful features of the 6000 series is the use of Eurotherm’s Bridge Software. This provides the user with a secure and simple connection to the instrument from anywhere that has access to a local or remote network. From this remote connection, the user can carry out any operation that could be done on the instrument itself.
The Series has a number of features, including a new network connection facility that makes it easy to install. Particular attention has been given to ensure that the upgrade path from the 5000 Series is as seamless as possible. For example, the configuration of the 5000 Series together with individual screens can be uploaded directly into the new 6000 Series.
The wide portfolio of software options on the instruments can be trialled on a “Try Before You Buy” basis. Users can select any software option at any time to try for a limited period (30 days elapsed time) to see if it is what is needed for the process.
In terms of FDA Validated applications, the 6000 Series offers specific strengths, including signed operator comments, integrated audit trail and password element controls. An integral audit trail function, that can be used to help meet CFR 21 Part 11, is available for complete traceability of configuration and operator actions – ideal for many applications from validated Pharmaceutical systems to the Heat Treatment of metals.
Eurotherm’s simple to operate Security Manager software tool provides unlimited user accounts and allows operator access to individual or multiple recorders. Users can be assigned to one or more of the process zones on an individual basis, and there is no software limit on the number of unique user names and passwords that can be stored, with each user being assigned individual access permissions.
For hardware security, the instruments have the option of an electronic lock on the media flap. Not only does this provide a basic level of security for the media contained behind the flap, but traceability of access to the media. The flap is opened by user password entry (if the user has that permission level) and the operation is recorded along with other operator actions when the audit trail is enabled.
