Note.
1.
Current Values
The Current Value is the latest instantaneous value and its update rate is not affected by the recording sample rate.
If the current value is displayed in red (color recorders) or white on a black background
(monochrome recorders), recording has been stopped for that channel – see Section 5.2,
page 50 and see Section 7.8.1, page 93.
Traces are displayed only when recording is active for that process group. If recording is set to
Stop
, the traces continue to be displayed for up to one sample period and are then turned off.
2.
Trace Pointers and Channel Traces
On color recorders, the trace pointers and channel traces are displayed in the color assigned to each channel. On monochrome recorders, the trace pointer is numbered to indicate the channel
number of each channel trace. Trace pointers may be disabled during configuration (see
Section 7.7.2, page 87) but on a monochrome recorder, this will make individual trace
identification difficult.

In both cases, the full trace is preserved by plotting the maximum and minimum samples for each display point.
Longer interval = better overview
Shorter interval = more detail
The screen intervals available in the menu are determined by the faster of the primary and secondary sample rates set for the process group during configuration

5.2 Logging Menu
Use this menu to stop and start recording or switch between the Primary and
Secondary sample rates for the current Process Group.
The Primary sample rate is set typically to a relatively slow rate (depending upon process recording requirements) and is active during normal process operating conditions in order to maximize internal memory and external archive media.
The Secondary sample rate is set typically to a faster rate than the Primary sample rate and may be selected manually in order to record the maximum amount of detail during, for example, an alarm condition.
The rates are set during configuration – see page 85.
Note.
Switching between the primary and secondary sample rates does not affect the screen interval in the Vertical and Horizontal Chart views.
When the channels are set to 'Stop' the instantaneous values in the associated indicators are displayed in red (color recorders) or white on a black background (monochrome recorders) and, after the end of the next sample period, no further samples are plotted on the associated traces.
Digital recording channels can only be set to 'Stop' or 'Go'.
Recording control can also be implemented using digital sources – see
Sections 7.7.1 page 84 and 7.8.1 page 93.
Note. Available only if 'Operator Calibrate' on the I/O Modules configuration tab is
set to 'On' – see Section 7.10.1, page 117.
Manually fine-tune inputs to remove process offset errors or system scale errors.
If selected, the date of the oldest unarchived data is set to that of the oldest data in the internal flash memory. This allows all data in the internal memory to be re-archived to external media.
Note. Insert a blank media storage card prior to selecting this function.

6.1 Introduction
Recorded data, logs and configuration files stored in the recorder's internal memory can be archived to files created on removable Secure Digital (SD) card media in either text or binary encoded format. Parameters for archiving Process Groups 1 and 2 data are configured independently.
The following icons are displayed in the Status bar to indicate the status of Logging and the external SD card media:
Display Type
Color Monochrome
– External archive media on-line with % used indication
– External archive media off-line with % used indication
– External archive media not inserted (flashing exclamation mark)
–
Media update in progress.
Do not remove media while this symbol is displayed
– External media 100% full, archiving stopped (flashing cross)
–
Warning! Too many files
(left-hand icon – media online, right-hand icon – media offline)
– Too many files, archiving stopped (flashing cross)
The Instrument Status screen displays the approximate time left before the current external archive media is full, assuming the amount of data recorded remains the same.
Note. To avoid loss of archive data, always place the media card off-line before removing it. The media card can be placed off-line in one of two ways:
Select 'Off-line' from the Logging menu.
Open the recorder's door and press the recessed button to the right of the Archiving On-line LED indicator next to the SD card slot on the back of the door.
Caution. Electrostatic precautions for SD cards.
To avoid potential damage or corruption to data recorded on an SD card, take care when handling and storing the card. Do not expose the card to static electricity, electrical noise or magnetic fields. When handling the card take care not to touch any exposed metal contacts.

6.3 Archive File Types
Archive files are created in one of two user-selectable formats:
Text (comma separated values [.csv]) – see Section 6.4, page 54
or
Secure binary encoded – see Section 6.5, page 59
All archive files created by the recorder are given filenames automatically but each type of archived file is given a different file extension depending on whether Text or Binary format has been selected during archive

SM500F
Field mountable paperless recorder 6 Archiving
In addition to new channel data files being created according to the New File Interval selection, they are also created in the following circumstances:
The recorder's power is lost then restored.
The recorder is taken offline and the archive media removed, replaced or refitted.
The recorder's configuration is changed.
One of the current files exceeds the maximum permissible size.
When the daylight saving period starts or ends.
Note. The recorder's internal clock can be configured to adjust automatically at the start and end of
Daylight Saving Time (Summertime) periods – see Section 7.6.3, page 76.
When one of the above conditions occurs, new channel data files are created for each enabled group and the file extension index on each new file is incremented by one from the previous file.
Example – if the original file had an extension of .D00, after one of the above events a new file will be created with the same filename but an extension of .D01.
Files containing data generated during the daylight saving period (summertime) have '~DS' appended to the filename.
Example 1 – Start of daylight saving period:
A daily file is started at 00:00:00 on 30th March 2003 –filename: 30Mar03ProcessGroup1.D00.
Summertime starts at 2:00am on 30th March 2003.
The clock changes automatically to 3:00am.
The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 30Mar03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00.
The file '30Mar03ProcessGroup1.D00' contains data generated from 00:00:00 to 01:59:59 (before summertime starts).
The file '30Mar03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00' contains data generated from 03:00:00 (after summertime starts).
Example 2 – End of daylight saving period:
A daily file is started at 00:00:00 on 26th October 2003 –filename: 26Oct03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00
Summertime ends at 3:00am on 26th October 2003.
The clock changes automatically to 2:00am.
The existing file is closed and a new file is created –filename: 26Oct03ProcessGroup1.D00
The file '26Oct03ProcessGroup1~DS.D00' contains data generated from 00:00:00 to 02:59:59 (before summertime ends).
The file '26Oct03ProcessGroup1.D00' contains data generated from 02:00:00 (after summertime ends)

6.4.5 Text Format Data File Digital Signatures
A digital signature file is created for each channel data file using the same filename but with a *.S** extension. The file contains a unique 'fingerprint' of the contents of the data file that can be used to prove if the data has been tampered with or corrupted. Data validation can be carried out on a PC using the
Company's DataManager software package.
6.4.6 Text Format Data Verification and Integrity
When data is saved to the archive media it is checked automatically to verify that the date value stored on the media matches exactly the date value stored in the internal memory.

6.5.5 Binary Format Data Verification and Integrity
When data is saved to the archive media it is checked automatically to verify that the data stored on the media matches exactly what is stored in the internal memory.
Each block of data in the channel data files has its own data integrity check. This enables the integrity of the data stored on the external media card to be verified when it is viewed using the Company's DataManager software package.
The log files also contain built-in integrity checks enabling the integrity of the data to be verified by the
DataManager software.

6.6 Archiving Online/Offline
Before data can be archived to external media, the external media must be placed on-line and one or more archive file enables set.
When an external archive media card is inserted and there is <1 day (Binary format) or <1 hour (Text format) of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed giving the user the choice of putting the media on-line or remaining off-line. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the media card is placed on-line automatically:
When an external archive media card is inserted and there is >1 day (Binary format) or >1 hour (Text format) of data in internal memory, a dialog box is displayed prompting the user to select either the data to be archived or remain off-line:
If a large amount of Text format unarchived data is selected, a progress bar appears. During this time operator views cannot be accessed, but new data continues to be recorded to the internal buffer memory.
External archive media can be set on-line (if a media card is inserted) or off-line in the setup menu.
Set archiving off-line before removing external media to prevent loss of data and possible damage to the media card.
When external archive media contains approximately 250 files, its read/write performance begins to degrade and either of the 'Warning – Too Many Files' icons ( or [color recorders] or ( or
[monochrome recorders]) are displayed. Change the media as soon as possible.
When external archive media contains approximately 300 files, its read/write performance becomes too slow, Archiving is stopped automatically and the 'Too Many Files – Archiving Stopped' icons ( alternating with [color recorders] or alternating with displayed. Change the media immediately to prevent loss of data.
[monochrome recorders]) are
Note. Data stored in the internal memory buffer can still be transferred to the archive media when the archive media is placed on-line again (providing it is not off-line so long that the un-archived data in the internal memory is overwritten).
IM/SM500F Rev. Z 63
SM500F
Field mountable paperless recorder 6 Archiving
6.7 Backing-up Archived Data
It is advisable to back-up critical data stored on archive media on a regular basis. The recorder's internal memory provides a buffer for the most recent data so, if data stored on archive media is lost, it can be
re-archived – see 'Reset archiving', page 50.
To ensure that all required data is available for re-archiving, it is recommended that data archived on archive media is removed and backed-up before the recorder's internal buffer overwrites that data. The length of time that data remains in the recorder's internal memory depends on the sample rate and the number of
channels selected – see Table C.1, page 162 for details.
6.8 Archive Wrap
Archiving can be configured to delete the oldest archived data file automatically from the external media
when the media approaches its maximum capacity – see 'Wrap', page 91.

reset the clock to its previous setting.
Setting an earlier date or time results in the loss of all data currently in the internal buffer memory past that date. Data archived to external media is unaffected. If an earlier time must be set, change
the Instrument Tag (see page 74). This causes new archive files to
be created and the duplicated hour of data is then saved to the new files.
Time changes due to automatic daylight saving do not affect the recorded data.

Set 'Acknowledge Timeout' to 'On' to enable an alarm acknowledgement timeout period that can then be set to between 1 and 999 minutes.
If the alarm is acknowledged but the alarm condition is not cleared within the time-out period, the acknowledge state is set back to
'active/unacknowledged'.
Note. The 'Acknowledge Timeout' function is designed to prevent an alarm from being acknowledged but the reason for the occurrence being ignored.
Example. An application has a vital requirement for a product to be kept below a certain temperature (the alarm setpoint) and the recorder's alarm relay is connected to an external audible warning device. If the temperature exceeds the alarm setpoint, the alarm is activated, triggering the audible warning. To preserve accountability, the alarm can be acknowledged only by an operator with alarm acknowledgement
privileges (see Section 7.6.5, page 80) and if acknowledged, the audible
warning is silenced. If the temperature does not drop below the alarm setpoint before the time-out period expires, the alarm state is reset to active/unacknowledged and the audible warning sounds again.
Assign the alarm to one or more of 12 groups.
The alarm states assigned to each group are 'ORed' together to create an internal digital signal that may be assigned to relays, digital outputs or internal digital controls.

7.8.5 Totalizer Configuration
Note.
The totalizer tabs are displayed only if the Totalizer option is enabled.
Current totalizer values are displayed in the Indicator view – see Section 4.5, page 38
(Operation) and Section 7.7.3, page 89 (Configuration) respectively.
For analog sources, the total value of a signal is calculated by counting pulses produced at a rate proportional to the input. For digital sources, off/on transitions are counted to produce a batch total.
Select the totalizer Count direction and Wrap action.
When the count direction is set to 'Up', the totalizer counts up from the
'Preset count' value to the 'Predetermined count' value – see next page.
If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'On', the total is reset automatically to the 'Preset count' value once the 'Predetermined count' value is reached.
If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'Off', the count stops when the 'Predetermined count' value is reached.
Note. A wrap pulse, with a duration of 2s, occurs if the total reaches the
'Predetermined count' value and 'Wrap enable' is set to 'On'. If 'Wrap enable' is set to 'Off', the wrap pulse becomes active when the
'Predetermined count' value is reached and remains active until the totalizer is reset. The pulse can be assigned to a relay, digital output or digital counter.
Enter the totalizer tag to be displayed in the Indicator view and the
Totalizer log archive (5 characters max).
Select any of the totalizer units pre-programmed into the recorder or select 'Custom' and enter user-defined units (6 characters max.). Refer to
Appendix D, Table D.2, page 164 for a description of the pre-defined

7.10.4 E-Mail
Note. This Section is applicable only if the optional Ethernet module is fitted.
The recorder can be configured to send e-mails to a maximum of 6 recipients in response to certain events.
The addressees can all subscribe to the same SMTP server or the recorder can be configured to send e-mails via 2 different SMTP servers to a maximum of 3 addressees per server.
Up to 10 independently configurable triggers can be enabled to generate an e-mail when the selected source becomes active.
When a trigger source becomes active, an internal 1 minute delay timer is started. At the end of that minute, an e-mail is generated that includes, not only the event that initiated the delay timer, but every other event that occurred during the delay period together with any enabled reports. The data returned in the e-mail therefore reflects the real-time alarm state at the time the e-mail was generated, not the state when the first trigger source became active.
Each e-mail includes a link to the recorder's embedded web server enabling the recorder's data and status to be viewed remotely using an internet browser on a PC.
SMTP Authentication
SMTP messages are sent without authentication, meaning they are sent without a name and password to identify the originator of the email. This may cause an email server to reject a recorder's request to send an email.
To prevent this, allocate a fixed IP address to the recorder and ensure this IP address is explicitly allowed as valid in the configuration of the email server (and any intervening firewalls).
Enter the IP address of the SMTP server through which e-mails are to be routed.
Enter the address(es) of the e-mail recipient(s).

7.11 Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP enables Modbus TCP devices to communicate via an ethernet network transferring Modbus messages via TCP/IP. Communication with standard, serially connected, Modbus RTU devices is also possible through a Modbus TCP Gateway.
The recorder can be configured to act as either a Modbus TCP Server (Slave) or a Modbus TCP Client
(Master) device on a Modbus TCP network.
If configured as a Server, the recorder responds to Modbus queries transferred via the Modbus TCP
protocol for the registers described in Appendix B, page 148. The recorder can be configured for
unrestricted access or access can be restricted to a maximum of 6 Modbus TCP Clients, from defined IP addresses.
If configured as a Client, the recorder collects data from Modbus TCP Servers (or RTUs via a gateway) into its 24 Comms Analog and 24 Comms Digital Channels. Each analog and digital input can be individually configured to any register within any slave device. The configuration allows for receipt of data in most commonly used data formats
Select the required Modbus TCP configuration.
Disabled – Modbus TCP disabled.
Modbus TCP Server – recorder acts as a Modbus Slave

Appendix B – Modbus TCP/Modbus 485
B.1 Introduction
The recorder can be configured to act as either a Modbus TCP client or server, or, when fitted with an optional Modbus/RS485 serial communications module, a Modbus RS485 (RTU) slave.
If configured as a client, the recorder collects data from Modbus TCP servers (or RTUs via a gateway) into its Comms Analog and Comms Digital Channels.
If configured as a server the recorder responds to Modbus queries transferred via the Modbus TCP or
Modbus RS485 (RTU) protocol for the registers described in this appendix.
Note. The Modbus RS485 option provides the following facilities:
Standard RS422/485 communications.
Modbus RTU protocol – for master (host computer/plc) to slave.
500V DC isolation from external connections to the instrument.
Two-wire communication.
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud transmission rate.
Parity-checking – odd, even or none.
B.2 Modbus Commands Supported
The following Modbus commands are supported:
01 Read Coil Status – reads the on/off status of 16 consecutive digital states, starting at a specified address. The recorder returns zeros for points which do not contain defined data.
03 Read Holding Registers – reads 8 consecutive analog values, starting from a specified address. The recorder returns zeros for registers which do not contain defined data.
05 Force Single Coil – Sets the value of a single coil (digital signal) at the specified address. The data value must be FF00Hex to set the signal ON and zero to turn it OFF. The recorder returns an exception response if the register is not currently writable.
06 Preset Single Register – Sets the value of a single register (analog value) at the specified address.
The recorder returns an exception response if the register is not currently writable. Limits defined in configuration are applied to the value before storage.
15 Force Multiple Coils – The recorder carries out updates that are valid and returns an exception response if any of the coils are not currently writable.
16 Preset Multiple Registers – The recorder carries out updates that are valid and generates an exception response if any of the registers are not currently writable.

B.3 Modbus Exception Responses
If the recorder detects one of the errors shown in Table B.1 while receiving a message from the host
system, it replies with a response message consisting of the recorder's Modbus address, the function code, the error code and the error check fields.
Code
01
02
03
07
08
Name
Illegal Function
Illegal Data Address
Illegal Data Value
Negative Acknowledgement
Memory Parity Error
Definition
The message function received is not an allowable action
The address reference in the data field is not an allowable address
The value referenced in the data field is not allowable in the addressed slave
Received message error
Parity check indicates an error in one or more of the characters received
Table B.1 Modbus Exception Responses
Note.
Negative numbers are represented in '2's complement' format, for example, 1000 = 03E8 (Hex), –
1000 = FC18 (Hex).
The instrument cannot accept a new message until the current message has been processed and a reply sent to the master (maximum response time 50ms).
The instrument monitors the elapsed time between receipt of characters from the host. If the elapsed time between two characters is 3.5 character times, the slave assumes the second character received is the start of a new message.

operating mode.
Two data types are used:
32-bit single precision floating point data in IEEE format
64-bit double precision floating point data in IEEE format
Note.
When writing to a parameter that occupies more than one register position then all registers relating to that parameter MUST be written to as part of a multiple register write. If this is not achieved a NAK exception response is issued. Individual registers can be read without causing an exception response.
When accessing a parameter that occupies more than one register position, the lowest numbered register contains the most significant data.

Field mountable paperless recorder Appendix E – Math Equations
Appendix E – Math Equations
Individual recording channel signals, analog and digital sources can be combined in a math equation to produce a customized recording channel or retransmission source.
Typical examples include adding/subtracting the values of a number of analog sources together to form one recording channel.
More complex blocks can also be created to determine relative humidity or sterilization FValue.
Digital signals can be used in math equations to enable/disable the output when certain conditions are true.
This is an example of a typical math equation: m1
= a1
+
52.4
Log(a2)
– md2
Where: m1 a1
52.4
= Math result (can be assigned to recording channels, other math equations etc.)
= Analog Source
= Constant (can be any numerical value of up to 3 decimal places)
Log(a2) = Function – see Table E.1. page 166
md2 = Digital source
Note.
Operators are evaluated from left to right therefore the above equation is evaluated as:
[(a1 + 52.4) x Log(a2)] – md2 and
NOT
as a1 + (52.4 x Log(a2)) – md2.
Functions cannot be nested within other functions. To enter an equation requiring nested functions it is necessary to use another math block, e.g. to evaluate the equation: a1 + a2
proceed as follows:
52.4
a3
– Enter math block 1 as m1 = a1 + a2/m2
– Enter math block 2 as m2 = 52.4 – a3
Digital signals (md1 to md3) are evaluated as 0 (inactive) and 1 (active), therefore in the example: m1 = a1 + a2 x md1 the sum of (a1+ a2) is set to zero if the digital input md1 is also zero.

E.2 Relative Humidity Calculation
Relative humidity is calculated using the following formula:
RH
=
100
VPSw
–
AP
Td
–
Tw
VPSd
Where:
VPSw = Saturation Vapor Pressure at Wet Bulb Temperature
VPSd = Saturation Vapor Pressure at Dry Bulb Temperature
Td = Dry Bulb Temperature
Tc = Wet Bulb Temperature
P = Total Atmospheric Pressure (1000 mbar)
A = Psychometric Constant (6.66 x 10–4)
RH = % of Relative Humidity
A relative humidity calculation requires two inputs, one from a wet bulb sensor and one from a dry bulb sensor. Both of these inputs are incorporated into the equation as analog.
RH tables are based on the use of an aspirated psychrometer having an air velocity of at least 11.5 feet per second or 3.5 meters per second across the bulb sensors.
Inputs used for wet and dry bulb measurement must be in the ranges 0 to 100°C or 32 to 212°F. The result must be set to 0 to 100.0% RH.

E.3 Sterilization Fvalue Calculation
The ability of heat to kill micro-organisms varies with the type of organism and increases exponentially with rising temperature.
Therefore, the time taken in sterilization is reduced if the target temperature is increased and the time spent approaching and receding from the target temperature can be taken into account.
Example – an increase of 10°C from 121.1 to 131.1°C in the steam sterilizing temperature of the Bacillus
stearo-thermophilus organism increases the death rate by a factor of ten.
The change in sterilization temperature which causes a factor of 10 change in the death rate is unique to each organism and is called the Z value.
Although 121.1°C is universally accepted as a reference for steam sterilization processes, the actual sterilizing temperature varies, depending on the products involved and on each sterilization process.
The Fvalue is calculated using the general formula:
F = F
–
1
+
10 x
– z y
---------------------
60
Where
F val(t)
= Current Fvalue
F val(t–1)
= Fvalue at last sample x = Actual temperature y = Target temperature z = Z-factor (i.e. the temperature interval representing a factor of 10 reduction in killing efficiency)
Example
– A typical steam sterilizing cycle – see Fig. E.2.
The period AB is the chamber evacuation part of the cycle, when the chamber is alternatively evacuated and purged with steam to remove air. The ramp up to final sterilizing temperature starts at B. The thermal conductivity of the load determines the time taken to achieve point D, but is typically 30% of the total cycle time. It is in the area, C D, and E F, that Fvalues make their contribution to shortening sterilization time, by accumulating credit for the time spent approaching and receding from the sterilizing temperature.

It is important to note the large change in equivalent sterilizing time which results from a small increase in the sterilizing temperature. Going from 121°C to 122°C, an increase of only 1°C, reduces the time needed to kill an equal number of organisms by a factor of 26%. Likewise, a measurement error which results in the set point being 1°C too low could result in a product not being sterilized properly.
As the Fvalue calculation is essentially a logarithmic function, the effect of measurement errors is significant on the resultant Fvalue.

to adjust the individual channel readings to be correct at the sterilizing temperature.
As Fvalue calculation is an integrating function, the sample rate has a direct effect on the accuracy when the temperature is changing. With a steady state signal the sample rate does not affect accuracy.

The recorded value in the Chart and Indicator views is driven by the engineering range selected and displayed in exponential format:
Chart View Indicator View
Example
An application requires a 4 to 20 mA input signal with an associated engineering range of 0 to 1,000,000 to be displayed in exponential format and plotted on a logarithmic chart with a scale of 1 to 10
+6
.

Set 'Scale Type' to 'Log' b.
Set 'Low' to '1' c.
Set 'High' to '1.0E+6'
2.
a.
Set Engineering range 'Low' to '0' b.
Set Engineering range 'High' to '6'
Note. The logarithmic value of the input is obtained by displaying '10 to the power of the engineering range value'. Therefore, in the case of 0 to 1,000,000, the engineering range must be set to 0 to 6 as 10
+6
= 1,000,000.
c.
Select Engineering Units as required
In this configuration, the input is plotted linearly on the chart but the digital indicator displays the input in exponential (logarithmic) format in order to match the logarithmic scale displayed on the chart.
Note. Regardless of the scale type setting:
All alarms on the recording channel are triggered by the channel's linear value.
Data values saved to the archive files are the linear output from the recording channel.

Appendix F – Batch Recording
F.1 Introduction
The recorder’s batch recording function enables:
storage of archived data in batch format
the operator to identify the batch data by name and/or number
the operator to enter essential batch information that is then is recorded with the data
the operator to start and stop batch recording from the front panel or via remote signals
the operator to archive the internally recorded values so that the data for each batch can be easily retrieved and reviewed
the retrieval of data from the recorder based on its batch identity
In addition, using the Company's DataManager data analysis software package, batched data can be:
located and retrieved using its batch identity
F.2 Batch Archive Filenames
Batch archive filenames for channel data files are formatted as follows:
Start Time<HHMMSS> Start Date<DDMMMYY> Channel <Group>_<Channel> Analog/Digital
<Anlg|Dig> <Instrument Tag>{~DS}{_n}.Vnn for example: 22454103May11Ch1_1AnlgSM500~DS.V00
An additional batch log archive file is created that contains all the identification data for each batch. These have a filename formatted as follows:
Start Time<HHMMSS> Start Date<DDMMMYY> <Instrument Tag>{~DS}{_n}.Xnn
The Alarm Event Log archive files also contain details of all batch start and stop events.
