line, real-time data for each input can be graphically plotted on the screen.
Data is continuously stored for every input to provide a history over user
selected time intervals. These on line plots enable quick analysis of process
conditions for optimizing performance, tuning control loops, determining
reasons for alarms, and other situations.
1.3.2 TUNING AND PROCESS SET UP: The password protected tune
menu displays necessary data for efficient tuning since it displays real time
process information. Key selectable sub menus are used to enter control
parameters, input scaling, trend plot scaling and time interval, warning
levels, and alarm setpoints.
1.3.3 DATA LOGGING: Hardcopy data is essential for record keeping,
quality control, required agency reporting, and production reports.
ANASOFT offers both automatic printer data logging, and disk data logging
in LOTUS compatible files. An available option for data recording when the
computer is not on line is the on-board memory option. This is 28.8k Bytes
of RAM memory for each A32-PIOM module in the system.
1.3.4 SYSTEM EXPANSION: ANAFAZE can provide complete turn key
systems for advanced control applications. Ramp and soak, adaptive
control, cascade control, and other types of systems can be designed and
installed by ANAFAZE engineering. Since many applications can be based
on ANASOFT, the cost and the time period for implementation is reduced.
ANASOFT is written in Microsoft QUICKBASIC and the source code is
provided for users that want to make their own modifications.
