Using the batch name + lot number system, past measured data can be recalled for reference by batch name.

To technology in iron & steel industry is continuously improved to obtain the best possible performance. The improved plant performance gives rise to the higher quality improvement and lower cost, and simultaneously environmental friendly plant operation.

A power plant in the Northeast was under pressure to meet State EPA requirements of reporting fuel consumption (used for emissions monitoring). The issue was digging a costly trench from the pump house to the control room building in order to run fiber optic cable that delivers a flow meter signal to the plant's historian where reports could be generated. The cost would be $20,000.00 alone to dig the trench.

The paperless recorder DX series automatically calculate the Fo value from the heating temperature and are useful in managing the sterilization process by displaying and recording the value together with the heating temperature.

The paperless recorder DX series instruments allow you to determine temperature and humidity, and manage the results as manufacturing and quality data at a reasonable cost with a simple configuration.

MEGTEC Systems, a major manufacturer of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers in DePere, Wisconsin is now specifying DAQSTATION for use with their equipment. These oxidizers, commonly known as RTOs, are found in Paint Finishing Operations, Chemical, Petro-chemical and Ethanol Production, Ink Coating and Odor Abatement, and many other applications on a global basis.

A manufacturer of lime using an Allen-Bradley Series 5 PLC wanted local data viewing and network connectivity. The PLC was wired directly to a rotary kiln and measured kiln temperature, pressure, rotary speed and material feed rate.

Utilities commonly support the energy requirement of the main process across the spectrum of industries in the form of fuel, electricity, steam, compressed air, water etc. As the energy cost is increasing by the day & simultaneously resources getting scarce, it becomes essential to manage / optimize the energy consumption.

Yokogawa Network Solutions is pleased to present an instructional video on how to configure DAQMaster (MW100) and DAQStation (DXAdvanced) - data acquisition systems to create automatic manual sample files. Manual sample files are text files that can be read by programs like Excel, NotePad, and WordPad. Manual files (.DAM) offers an alternative to native data files (.DAD, .DAE, .MXD) that require programs like MW100 Viewer or DAQStandard Viewer for viewing.

Yokogawa Network Solutions is pleased to present a basic walk through of how to configure a DAQStation after opening it from the factory. This video will walk the user through basic menu settings for configuring a measurement channel, selecting Celsius or Fahrenheit, giving the unit a network address, setting an alarm, configuring a group, and choosing how fast to display and log data.

The DAQStation R4 or DXAdvanced - data acquisition and visualization system has four primary data file types. DAD (Display) files are digital representations of paper chart recordings with min/max values stored for each sample (similar to a pen dragging up and down on a paper chart). DAE (Event) files are instantaneous samples at a given interval where only one values is recorded per sample period (no min/max like Display Files). DAM are manual sample files (text based files with instantaneous values). DAR are report files (text based files with hourly, weekly, and monthly values). DAD and DAE files require DAQStandard Data Viewer, DAQExplorer, DAQManager, PrintWave, or ReportWave in order to be viewed (they are binary encrypted file types).

Yokogawa's Network Solution Group presents a tutorial on configuring the DAQMaster and DAQStation to synchronize their internal clocks via SNTP to a timer server running under Windows 7. The tutorial also covers how a DAQStation can be configured as a network time server for other devices.
