Honeywell Paperless Recorder Minitrend QX

Display

• 5.5” Colour Active TFT - with more than 256,000 colours makes it easy to interpret process data and take action with
the intuitive bar charts, digital values, trends or customised displays. A screen saver function can be set from 1 to 720
minutes to extend the life of the backlight.
• Touch Screen - the heavy duty durable touch screen provides easy data entry and rapid navigation though the menus.
• Help Files - A complete contextual help system can be accessed and visualised on the screen of the recorder.

Communications

• Ethernet Connectivity - the Ethernet (DHCP standard) connection, with support for various protocols, provides unlimited
connectivity to local area networks (LANs). The standard Ethernet interface makes networking of the recorder to a
LAN or the world wide web fast and convenient. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automatically acquires
the settings (IP address) for network communications from a DHCP server.
• RS485 Modbus - the RS485 connection allows process data to be transferred to other devices, or to record data
received in MODBUS RTU protocol (slave mode only).
• Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) - The recorder can be synchronised over the ethernet network via a SNTP
client or synchronise other recorders via a Server.
• Web Server - with the recorder connected to a LAN, all process variables, alarm and messages can be viewed from
an internet browser; values are automatically refreshed.

Data Storage

Internal Data Storage - 70MB to 1850MB of expandable
internal non-volatile flash memory is available for data
storage and chart history.

External USB Devices

• The recorder has two USB host ports, one front and one at the rear, for attaching external USB devices such as a keyboard,
mouse or a USB data storage key. The keyboard and mouse can be used to navigate the recorder’s screen
along with text entry.

Remote Viewer

• Extends the user interface of the recorder onto the desktop PC. Providing remote viewing of the unit launched from a
web browser. Full remote control is available as an option. Compatible with Microsoft™ Internet explorer 6 and higher.

Security

• Total Data Integrity - data is stored in secure encrypted files making it easy to retrieve the data dependent on process
information. Data is automatically recognised without having to remember file names.
• Password Protection - Up to 4 levels of password protection with up to 50 different users are available. Multiple levels
of password protection and an audit trail of actions enhance the security of the data.
• Extended Security System (option) - ESS provides extended features including entry of unique User ID’s and associated
passwords, time-out of password entry, password expiration, and traceability of user actions. ESS is compatible
with the requirements of 21CFR part 11.
• Password Network Synchronisation - Password can be synchronised over the network, a recorder can be designated
as a master of a password group and other recorders can be added to that group as slaves, the master will
ensure all passwords are synchronised with all recorders in it’s group

Modbus Master/Slave

• The recorder can communicate with up to 32 slave devices on both RS485 and/or Ethernet at a maximum poll rate of 1
second (slowest 1 hour), with each slave up to 8 “transactions” can be performed where a transaction can be retrieving
1 or more registers from a slave or sending one or more Pens to a slave.

Reports

• Reports can be generated manually or on a periodical basis using event system to show daily/weekly/monthly totals,
max mins, averages etc., the reports can be printed direct from the recorder, e-mailed as attachments or exported to
external media. The reports will be in RTF format for use in MS Word or other compatible word processors

Events/Counters

• Certain conditions or operations can be set up and logged according to the time and date of the occurrence. Subsequently
events can be reviewed in a list or represented on a graph. Up to 16 User Counters are available and can be
used as a part of the Events system. User Counters can be set up as a Cause or an Effect of an Event. Preset Markers
can be configured and used when applying a Mark to the chart through the event system, the alert system or manually.

Concurrent Batch Mode (option)

• Batch enhances the management of data collected in non-continuous process, known as batch processing, used in
thermal treatment, sterilisation, food processing and chemical reactions. In concurrent batch mode each batch is associated
with a group of pens, so all pens within Group 1 will belong to the batch that is controlled by Group 1. Batch features
include Pause chart when batch stopped, Batch Logging control, List driven data fields, Automated batch
counters, Event driven batch control, Updated control and feedback, Batch mode State and Count in scripts/embedded
variables.
