Eurotherm NANODAC Recorder/Controller

Nanodac Electronic Data Recorder / PID Controller

The nanodac™ recorder/controller offers the ultimate in graphical recording combined with PID control for a box of its size. The compact ¼ DIN panel mount unit offers four high accuracy universal inputs for data recording and PID control. This secure data recording device with accurate control is enhanced by a full color, ¼ VGA display to bring a crystal clear operator interface to even the smallest of machines.

Precision analog batch recording

The Eurotherm nanodac™ recorder/controller offers four channels of precision analog batch recording, easily meeting the requirements of regulators for accuracy and repeatability, and data logging requirements of 21 CFR 11 allowing alarm and discrete input logging, communications with other devices, electronic signatures and batch data recording.

EtherNET/IP Client or Server mode

Available as an option, the nanodac recorder/controller can be easily integrated with an existing instrument network and act as local data historian. When enabled, EtherNet/IP allows the nanodac to act as either a Client or a Server and provides data recording for up to 30 process parameters (via virtual channels).

Data Acquisition and Recording

The nanodac recording functionality utilizes the secure strategies developed by Eurotherm through years of recording expertise. As well as multiple real-time views and historical review on the product, multiple data archiving strategies are provided utilizing the 50MB onboard Flash memory, removable USB and data transfer via FTP to a specified server. The four universal input channels provide high accuracy (suitable for use in Nadcap applications) and 125ms parallel sampling. An additional 30 virtual channels can be utilized to provide math, counter, slave communications and totalizer functionality within the instrument.

PID Control Loops

The nanodac instrument can also provide two independent control loops (optional) with 100 ramp/soak recipes. This control functionality utilizes the advanced Eurotherm PID algorithm providing high performance and reliability to your process. Functionality includes one of the best autotune facilities available along with overshoot inhibition (cutbacks); compensation for power fluctuations using power feedforward; linear, fan, oil and water cooling.

*A PC based backup and configuration tool (the iTools Configuration Clip) uses a USB connection, powering the instrument from the USB interface for convenient desktop configuration.
