DR240 hybrid recorder
— expandable type (Style number: S8)
DS400/DS600 sub units (Style number: S8)
GS 04M01D01-12E
Refer to the following cautionary notes
before you configure your system.
DARWIN is a system comprising a number of data-acquisition
equipment components.
In the course of system growth, new models, software, various
input/output modules and optional features are added to the family
to enhance the systems expandability and flexibility. You can
check the versions of your equipment and software by referring to
the style number: Sn* shown on the nameplate of the main unit.
When configuring a system, you must confirm that the style
number of each componentunit and software meets the following
requirements:
* release number in the case of software: Rn
(1) The style number of each input/output module must be the
same as or lower thanthat of the main unit or sub-unit to which
the module is connected.
(2) The release number of a dedicated software package must be
the same as or higherthan the style number of the main unit or
sub-unit where the package is installed and where it performs
control.
Any equipment/software not meeting these requirements is
incompatible with your system configuration.
For information on how to upgrade to compatible equipment/
software, consult our sales personnel.
The DR240 is a highly reliable process monitor hybrid recorder
that contains a high withstand voltage semiconductor relay developed
by Yokogawa. It uses small input modules to record measured
industrial variables, physical variables such as temperature signals in
realtime in the field, and can also transfer the measured data to a
personal computer.
The main unit of the expandable type can be connected to a
maximum of six sub units DS400/DS600. Also, you can freely connect
various input/output modules to suit the measurement conditions, and
increase the number of measurement points to a maximum of 300.
Units can be connected to each other with dedicated cable over a
distance of up to 500 m. This makes for reduced wiring and speedier
wiring work, and enables you to configure a flexible remote measurement and recording system.
In addition, by using the dedicated package software, the
measurement conditions can be set and continuous data acquisition
performed easily.
(1) Compact: Occupies only about one half of the size (depth) of the
HR2500E.
(2) High speed: Can measure 300 channels/500 ms.
(3) A large variety of inputs: Universal (DC voltage, thermocouple,
RTD, contact), DC V/TC/DI dedicated inputs, mA, power monitor,
strain, pulse, DI.
(4) Superb environmental toughness (input modules): –10°C to 60°C
(5) Remote measurement: The sub unit is designed to be connected to
the main unit with dedicated cable, enabling it to be located up to
500 m away from the main unit.
■ Outline of DR240 hybrid recorder
(1) The DR240 main unit can set and control the sub units to which it
is connected with dedicated cable.
(2) The DR240 main unit controls, communications module and DI/
DO module to which it is connected.
(3) Data measured using the input modules is collected by the DR240
main unit, via sub units.
(4) Measured phenomena can be displayed and recorded by means of
the DR240 main unit.
(5) The measured results collected by the DR240 main unit can be
transferred to a personal computer via a GP-IB, RS-232-C, RS422-A/RS-485, Ethernet interface.
■ Outline of sub units
The DS400/DS600 sub unit functions as an interface between the
expandable version of the DR230/DR240 hybrid recorder and the
various input/output modules to which it is connected.
A maximum of four input and output modules of various kinds (Max.4
slots/40 channels) can be connected to the DS400, and a maximum of
six input and output modules (Max.6 slots/60 channels) can be
connected to the DS600.
A maximum of six sub units can be connected to one main unit. Both
DS400 and DS600 sub units can be connected to the same main unit.
The main unit can be connected to the sub units, or the sub units to each
other, with dedicated cable, enabling them to be separated by up to 500
m.
The sub units have excellent environmental toughness and can be
installed very easily, enabling them to be installed over a wide area
without environmental restrictions.
(1) Setting and control of the connected input/output modules (by
means of commands from the DR230/DR240 main unit.
(2) Measured values output to the DR230/DR240 main unit.

• DARWIN DAQ 32 (Standard Package)
• DARWIN DAQ 32 Plus (Optional Package)
General
DAQ 32 and DAQ 32 Plus are software packages developed by
Yokogawa specially for the DARWIN series.
These packages run on a personal computer, achieving highly
dependable data acquisition using DARWIN series units (DA100,
DC100, DR130, DR230, and DR240) and superb operability.
The main differences between the two packages are in the
monitoring functions. The DAQ 32 only offers two display formats
- waveform trend and digital; has 2 groups of 10 channels/window;
and does not support alarm display. If simultaneous multi point
monitoring or more flexible display forms of data such as level
meter, analog meter, and thermometer faceplates, and alarm
indications are required, use the optional DAQ 32 Plus.

Outline:
This function assigns measurement and/or computation channels as
report channels, and creates statistical information. The report
computation can be selected from an hourly, daily, or monthly
report. Chart printing takes place automatically whenever the report
creation time (in the case of the DR recorder) is reached. The
results of report computation can also be output by communication.
Kinds of report computations:
Hourly report: Statistical information for one hour (starting on
the hour)
Daily report:
Statistical information for one day (starting from a
reference time)
Monthly report: Statistical information for one month (starting
from a reference date and time)
Each of the hourly, daily, and monthly reports can be set to ON or
OFF.
NOTE
The data calulated by this option can not be stored in the buffer
memory and FD of the DR recorders.

Location and Location Number (Channel Number, Alarm Output Relay Number, DI/DO Number)
The location numbers correspond to channel numbers for locations where the input module is connected, to alarm output numbers for locations where
the alarm module is connected, and to DI/DO numbers for locations where the DI/DO module is connected.
Modules are mounted on a unit in slots. The number of each module is the same as that of the slot.
As shown below, input/output location numbers are assigned related to the unit number (the main unit number is fixed at I) and module location.
