Functions of the ALMEMO 710
Up to 10 output relays or 4 analog outputs can be addressed individually via
the touchscreen or via the interface with a relay trigger adapter . Via the trigger
inputs it is also possible for external events to influence the measuring se-
quence.
Operation
All measured values and function values can be displayed in different menus
on the touchscreen. For your individual applications user menus can be con-
figured independently. The device can be operated via its state-of-the-art touch
display. Sensors, device, and process control can thus be fully programmed.
Output
All measured data and programming parameters can be output to any periph-
eral equipment. The header can be programmed to refer specifically to your
company or to a specific application. USB, RS-232, and Ethernet interfaces
are available via the appropriate interface cables. To accommodate the vari-
able data quantities and certain new parameters for operating D7 sensors the
interface protocol has been changed so that data is now output in table format
only; this can then as required be processed directly using any standard
spreadsheet program.
Networking
All ALMEMO ® devices can be addressed and can be easily networked by sim-
ply linking them together via network cable or Ethernet adapter or, for longer
distances, via RS-422 network distributors. However, given the modified proto-
col, older V5 / V6 devices and V7 devices must now be operated via separate
interfaces.
Software
Each ALMEMO ® Manual is accompanied by the ALMEMO ® Control software
package, which can be used to configure the measuring instrument, to pro-
gram the sensors, and to read out from the measured value memory. Using
the integrated terminal, measuring operations can also be performed online.
The WINDOWS ® software package WIN-Control for measured value acquisi-
tion from networked devices, for graphical presentation, and for more complex
data processing tasks is now available in a new version; this can be used to
operate V5 / V6 devices and V7 devices via separate interfaces.
