Initial Commissioning - Ahlborn ALMEMO 2490-2 Operating Instructions Manual

Output
All data logs, measured values, and programming parameters can be output to
any peripheral equipment. RS232, RS422, USB, and Ethernet interfaces are
available using the appropriate interface cables. Measured data can be output
in list, column, or table format. Files in table format can be processed directly
using any standard spreadsheet software. The print header can be pro-
grammed to refer specifically to your company or to your application.
Networking
®
All ALMEMO devices can be addressed and can be easily networked by
simply linking them together via network cable or over longer distances via an
internal RS485 interface (option) or RS422 network distributors.
Software
®
Each ALMEMO
age, which can be used to configure the measuring instrument, to program the
sensors, and to read out from the measured value memory. Using the integ-
rated terminal, measuring operations can also be performed online. The WIN-
®
DOWS software package WIN-Control is provided for the purposes of meas-
ured value acquisition via networked devices, for graphical presentation, and
for more complex data processing.
