R3 Series
Alarm Modules The
R3 Series Alarm Modules accepts field sensor signals and provides High or Low
alarm status signals to the network. This function of course is easily performed
by a PLC by supplying these sensor signals through analog input modules. However,
the PLC’s programming area is not without limit. Simple alarm functions could
be handled locally by remote I/O modules. This will reduce workload of the PLC
not only because the PLC’s ladder program becomes simpler, but also because
the sent signals are discrete, not analog which take a lot more time in data transfer.In order to ensure the accurate alarm performance, various functions are available: deadband, alarm ON delay, alarm hold time. Setpoints and other parameters are programmable using the R3CON PC Configurator Software.

| Model 6DV Field-mounted Loop Powered Indicator |
|
Model 6DV is a 8-mm-high, 4-digit, red LED display which is powered from a two-wire current loop (4 to 20 mA), requiring no extra power source. The maximum voltage drop caused by inserting the 6DV to the loop is only 4.0 V at 20 mA.
Other programmable functions include input signal calibration, offset setting and linearization. In addition to standard functions such as SQRT, RT32 and RT52, 21-point linearization is also available. This is especially beneficial to indicate process variables from low-cost non-linearizing level sensors/transmitters in the field. With the label seat provided with a small LED backlight, both the LED display and the engineering unit indicator are clearly legible even in the dark.
Using the A-34 DIN Rail Mounting Adaptor and the A-6 Mounting Spacer, various mounting styles are available. |

The
display range is programmable from -1999 to 9999 using the front three control
buttons: ENTER/ESCAPE, BACK/DOWN and NEXT/UP. The decimal point is also selectable
(10 –1, 10 –2,
10 –3 or no decimals).
In
combination with Model 27HU, a field-mounted HART Temperature Transmitter with
LED Display is realized in low cost. The intrinsic safety approval (ATEX and FM)
is still pending. (The 27HU is already approved with 
ATEX
intrinsic safety.)| TIPS : 6DV v.s. 43AL |

| Product training 2005 / Distributors in Southeast Asia |
|
“Product Training 2005” for the distributors in Southeast Asia was held at M-System Headquarters in Osaka, Japan from July 7 to July 9, 2005. 7 representatives from 5 companies participated in the session.
We are looking forward to see more and more distributors next time. We will organize the product seminars every year in order to cultivate the market with the distributors.

In
this session the information for new products and future product plans were provided
to the attendee. This time we spent a lot of time for hands on training for PC
recorder, which is one of the sellable items in Southeast Asia at the moment and
discussion & sharing the success stories in their countries.| Report 1 |
| The factory tour was an eye opener and I was able to
find out first hand why M-System is able to handle quick delivery when
an order is made. I also get to find out how M-System employees work as
a team and their continued effort to improve existing products or create
new products. I even got to eat at the canteen and learn how to be part
of the M-System team members. New products like the Universal Transmitter and the Remote I/Os were introduced. The new products presented new opportunities in our own market areas for each distributor. The training culminated with each distributor having to think about the areas they can introduce the product. This is good practice as the training spare no effort in ensuring it will be successful and the participants understand the product they are trained in. |

| Report 2 |
| For the 2 -day product training, essentially, we were able
to see the plant itself and the production flow. One distinct feature of M-System
over competitor is the ability to be flexible, meaning they can give in to customer’s
non-standard requirement with the lowest add-on cost. Delivery-wise, M-System
is quite fast especially if quantity is less than 10 units. We can see how organize
the production floors are and how dedicated and diligent the people manning the
various production areas. Personally, the kind of products that M-System produced is not new to me. Being in the instrumentation business for almost 20 years, I have seen similar products used in the industry. But M-System is more focused by carrying and improving its core products; hence they have the widest range (models) of signal conditioners in the world. The Surge Arrester, one of its pioneer products continues to evolve and has gain worldwide acceptance. The staffs manning the International Sales Group (particularly Group II) are highly capable people willing to serve and help their distributors especially on technical matters. I was impressed by the dynamism of all the personnel of M-System. How I wished all the staffs of our company could show the same vigor and focus to the works assigned to them. |

Closed The 19 th is respect for the Aged Day which is to respect for elderly people. The 23 rd is Autumn Equinox Day. On this day, the sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west, and day and night become the same length. From this day in the Northern Hemisphere, days begin shorter than nights. It is a day not just to mark the changing of seasons but also to pay our respects to our deceased parents, grandparents and other family members.
