Chapter 1 Functional Description 1.1 Overview of the SBR-EW100 The SBR-EW100 Recorder (hereafter referred to as the recorder) can be used to assign DC voltage, 1-5V, thermocouple, RTD, and contact or voltage ON/OFF signal to channels for measurement. The measured results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper that is fed at a constant speed.
1.2 Detailed Explanation of Functions Input Section Number of Measurement Channels and Scan Interval The recorder samples the input signals on the measurement channels at the scan interval to obtain the measured values. Model Number of Channels Scan Interval 1-pen model 125 ms 2-pen model 125 ms...
Page 17
1.2 Detailed Explanation of Functions • Delta Computation The value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel (called the reference channel) from the input value of the channel set to delta computation is used as the measured value of that channel. The reference channel must be assigned to a channel whose channel number is less than that of the channel on which delta computation is specified.
Page 18
1.2 Detailed Explanation of Functions Bias A given value (bias value) is added to the input value and used as the measured value of that channel. Biased channel Input value Measured value Bias value <Related Topics> Setting the bias: Section 7.15 and 6.12 Burnout Detection of Thermocouples This function makes the recording go off the scale to the right or left when the thermocouple burns out while measuring temperature with a thermocouple.
Page 19
1.2 Detailed Explanation of Functions Noise Elimination from Input Signals Filter and Moving Average This function used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on the signal. The pen model and dot model are equipped with a filter function and a moving average function, respectively.
Page 20
1.2 Detailed Explanation of Functions Integration Time of the A/D Converter The recorder uses an A/D converter to convert the sampled analog signal to a digital signal. By setting the integration time of the A/D converter to match the time period corresponding to one cycle of the power supply or an integer multiple of one cycle, the power supply frequency noise can be effectively suppressed.
1.3 Alarms This function generates an alarm when the measured data meets a certain condition. The alarm occurrence/release can be recorded on the chart paper. The alarm status can be displayed on the screen. Also, alarm output relays can be used to output contact signals when alarms occur (/A1, /A2, and /A3 options).
Page 22
1.3 Alarms • Delay High Limit Alarm (T) An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above the alarm value for a specified time period (alarm delay period). • Delay Low Limit Alarm (t) An alarm occurs when the measured value remains below the alarm value for a specified time period (alarm delay period).
Page 23
1.3 Alarms Alarm Indication The alarm status can be displayed on the screen. For details on the display, see section 1.5. Non-Hold/Hold Operation of the Alarm Indication The alarm indication can be set to operate in the following fashion when the alarm condition is no longer met.
Page 24
1.3 Alarms Reflash Alarm When multiple alarms are assigned to one alarm output relay, this function notifies the occurrence of subsequent alarms after the relay is activated by the first alarm. When subsequent alarms occur, the output relay is released temporarily (approximately 500 ms).
Page 25
1.3 Alarms AND/OR Operation of Alarm Output Relays When multiple alarms are assigned to one alarm output relay, the condition for activating the alarm output relay can be selected from the following: • AND: Activated when all assigned alarms are occurring simultaneously. •...
Page 26
1.3 Alarms Non-Hold/Hold Operation of Alarm Output Relays The alarm output relay can be set to operate in the following fashion when the alarm condition is no longer met. • Turn off the relay output (non-hold). • Hold the relay output until the alarm ACK operation is executed (hold). The setting applies to all alarm output relays.
1.4 Recording The recorder is capable of recording the measured values with pens or dots (trend recording) as well as various other types of information.
