(PRWEB) September 6, 2006 -- Eurotherm has launched a major new data acquisition product that allows users to view and archive data remotely from different operator displays around the plant.

The 6000XIO Distributed Graphic Recorder builds on Eurotherm’s 30 years of experience in data acquisition and has a wide range of process uses including 21CFR Part II applications, furnaces, NADCAP, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, sterilisers and autoclaves.

Using the 6000XIO, processes can be viewed at numerous locations with similar or custom displays. For example, one area may require a large (12.1”) 6180XIO display, while the other may be a (5.5”) 6100XIO. The 6000XIO series panel depth is very narrow and allows the IO to be placed remotely, while data is stored in the display for security.

Far more than just a simple operator display without intelligence, each 6000XIO has an intuitive, touch screen display to enable users to clearly view process data in varying formats. All have onboard Flash data storage capability, Ethernet communication and Compact Flash Card. Data is stored in a tamper-resistant binary format that can be used for secure, long-term process records.

Designed for today’s networked world, the 6000XIO can be accessed via a Local Area Network, dial-up connection, Intranet or Internet.
