Controller

Daniel’s Model 2350A Gas Chromatograph

Controller, equipped with the MON2000

Windows ® -based software, allows users to increase the processing power, operating efficiencies, and system performance of their existing, legacymodel Danalyzer Gas Chromatograph.

Maximize your processing power

• Choose from ISO6976-1995 or GPA 2172-1996 calculation methods with GPA 2145-03 physical constants

• Receive hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or variable (0-167) averages

• Access up to 254 archived item averages and over three months of standard four-minute runs – or choose to expand archiving abilities even further

• Trend archived variables graphically on a PC or printer

Increase your operating efficiencies

• Utilize as many as eight field-configurable serial ports to support four unique user-selectable versions of Modbus to simplify communications between flow computers, PLCs, DCSs, and

SCADA systems

• Access your gas chromatograph using industrystandard Modbus/TCP connectivity

• Simplify the work process by eliminating strip chart recorders, printers, portable service panels, and workstations

• Cut technician time and training time by as much as 50% with familiar, user-friendly, PCbased software

• Download MON2000 software enhancements directly from the Daniel website to your

Ethernet-ready 2350A system, or use the connection to email chromatograms for peer review

Expand your system’s potential

• Enhance resolution with advanced 16-bit analog-to-digital converters

• Employ a second gas chromatograph oven in parallel with four user-configurable auxiliary analog inputs, or monitor alarms and peripheral devices directly with five digital inputs/outputs

• Detect trace thermal conductivity detector

(TCD) component analysis at lower detectable limits with a second gas chromatograph oven

• Utilize parallel chromatography for advanced applications

The 2350A Gas Chromatograph Controller offers an explosion-proof design or rack-mount placement, with an optional keypad and display window.

Increase your diagnostic capabilities

With the 2350A Gas Chromatograph Controller, diagnostic capabilities are significantly expanded. By allowing users to access on-screen chromatograms directly from their PC or workstation, the 2350A eliminates the need for chart recorders. Through the easy-to-use

MON2000 software, chromatogram functions are extended. By using the “Overlay” function to make a direct comparison of historical chromatograms, troubleshooting is simplified, and the “Zoom” function offers a better view of the baseline to improve peak integration for maximum analytical accuracy.

Controller Electronics Options

• Ethernet card – connect to your gas chromatograph at 10 mbps via an RJ-45 port

• High-speed internal modem – direct-dial to your gas chromatograph and configure or interrogate it remotely with the MON2000 software

• Analog outputs (4-20 mA) – user-configurable, with two standard, and four or eight optional

• Keypad and display – full, 18-button keypad with liquid crystal display and LED backlighting

• Additional memory – includes 16 MB standard memory for historical data storage, and can be expanded to 32 MB

Simplified and convenient migration from older systems

Investing in gas chromatograph technologies is a capital expenditure, and Daniel is as serious as our customers when it comes to spending wisely on the latest technology. When it is time for customers to upgrade their systems to the

2350A, they can trust that Daniel has designed the process to be as smooth as possible. The gas chromatograph analyzer electronics, including the pre-amp board and the decoder board, interface to the controller exactly as the older 2251 controllers, so retrofitting units in the field is a simple and quick process. Furthermore, Daniel has engineered the cutouts for the optional panel-mount 2350A to match the 2251 and 2551 panel cutouts, so additional modifications are not required.

2350A Gas Chromatograph Controller

Full functionality, specialized for ease of use

The controller performs all signal processing, calculations, instrument control, communications, and data storage.

Optional explosion-proof housing allows for operation and diagnostics to be performed in a Class I, Division 1 hazardous area.

Three multi-colored LED status indicators are easy to see on the front panel to let the operator know the system’s status

— green for in operation, yellow for unacknowledged alarms, and red for alarms requiring operator action.

Controller-mounting options allow the controller to be located remotely or as an integrated component of the gas chromatograph in the field.

Keyboard and display options allow for control and diagnostics to be performed.

2350A boards are mounted in a passive card cage with ribbon cable connectors to enable

STD (32- bit) bus communications.

The CPU has a PC 104 bus for easy addition of serial ports, models, or an Ethernet card.
