M-System’s PC Recorder MSR128 series is a Windows-PC-based recorder software program, which connects to economical I/O modules such as models RZUS, RZMS, R1M, R2M, R3 and R5 for DC mV, mA, thermocouple, RTD/potentiometer inputs and discrete I/Os. MSR128 is fully featured enabling the logging, trending acquisition and analysis of application data. Combined with I/O modules, MSR128 provides a low cost industrial grade data acquisition system.
In Japan, under the “Total Pollutant Load Control,” continuous measurement of total nitrogen and total phosphor is required for private businesses that discharge over certain volume of industrial wastewater. Measurement method is requested not by manual analysis but has to use the system of automatic measurement device and data management.
Application per drawing to the right is using R1M-GH to do analogue data acquisition of total nitrogen, total phosphor and COD (chemical oxygen demand) level. Flow measurement of discharged wastewater is used R1M-P4’s pulse totalizing counter inputting pulse signal from flow meter.
Polled data is available to monitor on MSR128 recorder software installed in a PC. MSR128-V4 stores data in binary and exportable to CSV format, which is handled by popular spreadsheet software packages such as Microsoft Excel. The MSR128LS or LV stores data in CSV format.
