The TrendManager Pro Software Suite
The TrendManager Pro Software Suite complements the
capabilities of the “GR Series” recorders by providing the
benefits of viewing, configuration, network communications,
database management, data analysis and report generation
using a personal computer. It ties the process together,
providing for real-time communications with the recorders
through a Local Area Network (LAN).
TrendViewer
TrendViewer - is the standard software provided with the
recorder that displays and prints data imported from the
storage media used by the recorder.
TrendManager Pro
TMP is an advanced data analysis/archiving software
package, providing full configuration of the recorders.
TrendManager Pro is a stand-alone package that delivers to
the user total recorder configuration, allowing the user to
archive, graph, print and export data. TrendManager Pro
also allows files to be exported using comma separated
variables (CSV) format that can be imported in most
computer software.
TrendServer Pro
TSP is a fully network aware software package for real-time
viewing and archiving of data with communications to the
recorder. It supports all the capabilities of TrendManager Pro
plus real-time data acquisition, FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
and web browser access. TrendServer Pro provides secure
multi-level, multi-user access to the recorder data by various
departments with security. Standard features of TrendServer
Pro include data archive tools, graphing, print import and
export data facilities.
TrendServer Pro with OPC Server - provides the same
functions as the TrendServer Pro but includes the added
function of an integrated OPC Server to allow easy
interfacing to third party HMI software packages that support
an OPC Client. This provides a real-time interface between
servers and clients. Modbus Profile Configuration Tool -
this is a tool that comes as part of the TrendServer Pro
software that allows the user to set up Modbus Device
Profiles for use by the Communications Server. It allows the
user to set up other Modbus devices other than the GR
Series recorders to get real time data into TrendServer Pro.
Enhancements
Communications Server
This is supplied with TrendServer Pro. It manages real-time
communications, distributed access to the stored data, time
synchronisation over RS-485 and Ethernet networks. It is
also available with a 2.0 DA compliant OPC Server to make
it easier to interface third party HMI software packages that
support an OPC Client. The Communication Server provides
security for the transmission and storage of process data.
Database Management Tool
This software application works with TrendManger Pro and
TrendServer Pro to provide safe administration of data with
tools to archive, sort, move, copy and delete the data stored
in local and remote databases. The Database Management
Tool software is supplied with TrendServer Pro.
IQOQ Protocol Document (TrendServer Pro only.)
Custom built IQOQ reports can be generated based on the
configuration of the recorder. The configuration can be
validated as a process of confirming that a piece of
equipment or process meets the stated requirements to
produce a regulated product.
Report Generation Tool - AMS2750
PC software that uses a TUS data file generated by the
Multitrend GR recorder to generate a temperature uniformity
survey report. It produces a report that documents the
uniformity performance of a furnace based on the AMS2750
specification. AMS2750 is the specification that covers
pyrometric requirements for thermal processing equipment
used for heat treatment.
GR Series Screen Designer
This is a separate software package that enables the user to
design unique display layouts for transfer to the recorder’s
screen. Screen layouts can be created using any
combination of indicators such as Trending Charts, Digital
Panel Meters (DPM) and Bar graphs. Flexibility allows each
type of indicator to have elements of its appearance
changed to create an individual presentation. The GR Series
Screen Designer software package is compatible with
Minitrend GR and Multitrend GR recorders. Layouts can be
transferred on to single or multiple recorders of the same
type, which contributes to continuity and standardization of
process data.
