Application of screen recorders in industry

Industrial electronic recorders are specialized devices for monitoring and recording data from various processes and machines in an industrial environment. They are used to collect data in real-time, allowing for accurate analysis and management of production processes. These recorders are essential for maintaining continuity of work, ensuring quality, and diagnosing industrial systems. Additionally, alarm systems in recorders warn of potential problems, enabling quick intervention and preventing malfunctions.

Video recorders are commonly used, thanks to their ability to accurately visualize and control the parameters of technological processes in various industries:

1. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry: For monitoring processes and ensuring compliance with standards, such as the FDA.
2. Food and Beverage Production: For quality control and food safety, including monitoring temperature and humidity.
3. Energy and Utilities: For overseeing processes such as flow and pressure, key for energy efficiency.
4. Industrial Automation: In collecting data from various sensors, assisting in optimizing production processes.

How many analog signals can a data recorder handle at maximum?

The maximum number of analog signals that an industrial screen recorder can handle depends on the specific model and its specifications. Some digital recorders are designed to handle several signals, while others can handle several dozen or even more. For example:

• Simple recorders can handle from 4 to 8 analog signals.
• More advanced models can handle 16, 32, or even 64 analog signals or more.
• High-end industrial recorders can be customized or configured to handle an even greater number of signals, especially when used in large and complex industrial systems. It is important to precisely determine the needs of your facility and choose a device that best meets those requirements. Our LOGOSCREEN series electronic recorders can handle the following number of signals:

1. JUMO LOGOSCREEN 601: This model can handle up to 6 universal analog inputs. Additionally, it offers the possibility to handle 24 external analog inputs through interfaces.
2. JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700: For this model, various device versions are available with up to 18 universal analog inputs. There is also the possibility to handle 120 external analog inputs via an interface.

Can electronic recorders be expanded?

Yes, many digital video recorders can be expanded. This means that it is possible to add additional modules or functions to the existing recorder system to adapt it to changing needs or enhance its capabilities. Expanding a recorder may include:

• Adding channels: Increasing the number of channels to monitor additional analog or digital signals.
• Expanding memory: Increasing the device's memory capacity to store more data.
• Adding communication features: Integration with new communication interfaces such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or GSM modules for remote access and data transmission.
• Integration with other systems: The ability to integrate with other systems such as Building Management Systems (BMS) or Industrial Control Systems (SCADA).

Here's how expansion looks for both models from our offering:

JUMO LOGOSCREEN 601:

• This recorder offers the possibility of expansion through various input/output options. It can handle 3 analog inputs, 6 digital inputs, and 1 analog output, with an option for 12 digital inputs/outputs, including 2 fast counting inputs up to 125 kHz.
• Additionally, there are also 24 external analog and digital inputs available through interfaces.
• Optionally, this model can be equipped with a PROFINET IO Device interface, which expands its communication and integration capabilities.

JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700:

• The LOGOSCREEN 700 is characterized by a high level of scalability, offering various device versions, including those with up to 18 analog inputs, 3 analog outputs, 18 digital inputs, 24 individually switchable digital inputs/outputs, and 7 relay outputs.
• It can also support up to 120 external analog and digital inputs through interfaces.
• In both cases, the possibility of expansion depends on the model specifications and the availability of additional modules or interfaces. This allows the recorders to be adapted to more complex applications and a greater number of measurement points, which is particularly useful in industry and other technical applications.

Data security in paperless recorders

Data security in screen recorders is crucial for ensuring the reliability and protection of the collected information. Here's a brief overview of the main security aspects:

• Data Encryption: Recorders use advanced encryption to protect data from unauthorized access.
• User Management and Access Control: User management systems allow for assigning different access levels, increasing control over the data.
• Compliance with Standards: Devices such as the LOGOSCREEN series meet industry standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR Part 11), which are essential in industries requiring accurate documentation.
• Data Tampering Detection: Tamper detection mechanisms with digital certificates protect against alterations in the data.
• Redundancy and Data Backup: Redundancy and backup options prevent data loss.
• Secure Interfaces and Communication Protocols: Such as Ethernet, USB, RS232/RS485, ensure secure data transfer.
• Software Updates: Regular updates protect against vulnerabilities in the software.
• Monitoring and Alerts: Real-time monitoring functions and alerts protect against unexpected changes or attempts at unauthorized access.

In summary, data loggers, such as the LOGOSCREEN 601 and 700, provide comprehensive data security, from encryption to advanced control and monitoring features.

Can data from an electronic recorder be transferred to Excel?

Yes, data from the JUMO LOGOSCREEN 601 and 700 electronic recorders can be transferred to Excel. Both of our models offer data export features that enable their analysis and further processing in Excel.

JUMO LOGOSCREEN 601:

• This recorder has an internal memory of 1 GB, allowing for the storage of measurement data, which can be transferred via an interface or USB flash memory.
• It works with PCA3000 software on a PC, which is used for managing, archiving, visualizing, and evaluating data from the recorder. With it, the user can export saved data, enabling their processing in other programs, such as Excel.

JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700:

• Like the 601 model, LOGOSCREEN 700 has data transfer options via interfaces and the ability to export data using external memory devices (e.g., USB).
• It also works with PCA3000 software, allowing for easy downloading, analyzing, and exporting data to formats compatible with Excel.

Both recorder models are designed with flexibility and ease of data exporting in mind for analysis and reporting purposes.
