What Is It?

​Honeywell offers Trendview data recorders and an advanced analysis software suite to meet users' data recording needs. Three models are available with screen types that display various combinations of horizontal and vertical charts, digital values and bar graphs. To complement these recorders, Honeywell offers the TrendManager Software Suite.

This package of tools helps in graphing continuous and batch data, analyzing and archiving data, configuring the paperless recorders, setting up scheduled uploads of recorder data or acquiring data in real-time and exporting this to other software packages such as Excel. The software suite includes TrendViewer Pro, TrendManager Pro, TrendServer Pro, TrendServer Pro with an OPC Server, and a database management tool.

How Does It Work?

The recorders feature a color display which ranges in size from 5.7” to 12.1” and supports 3 to 48 inputs, making the products ideal for use by plant managers, engineers, maintenance managers, quality control personnel, and operators. These recorders characterize analog inputs collected from various devices, and then digitize them internally using a converter. The data is made available using various communications protocols for real-time and FTP uploads using the Honeywell TrendServer Software. Advanced features like patented Fuzzy Logging increase the amount of representative data stored in the memory. ​

What Problems Does It Solve?

​Paperless recorders provide data to multiple departments, assisting in speedy decision making and improving operations and reliability. In addition, these recorders eliminate the cost of ink, special paper and pen that are required for traditional chart recorders and help users save costs. They are ideally suited for applications such as drying ovens, environmental monitoring, fermentation processes, flow monitoring, freeze drying, sterilization, heat treating and power monitoring.
