The precise measurement of leakages, dew point, pressure, volume flow and temperature is very important in compressed air system. Precise values, automatic diagnosis of threshold violations and comprehensive data evaluation play an important role. CS Instruments DS 500 combines all requirements for quality control and energy management in a single device by translating all measurements that occur in compressed air treatment into clear statistics and graphs.
From recording of the measured data, indication on a big colour screen, alerting, storage, up to remote read-out via webserver... this is all possible with DS 500. By means of the CS Soft Basic software alarms can be sent via SMS or e-mail. All measured values, measured curves and threshold exceeding are indicated. The curve progressions from the beginning of the measurement can be viewed by an easy slide of the finger. Daily/weekly/monthly reports with costs in $ and counter reading in m³ for each consumption sensor are completing the sophisticated system concept. The big difference to ordinary paperless chart recorders reveals in the easy initiation and in the evaluation of the measured data. All sensors are identified directly and powered by DS 500. Everything is matched and tuned.
e.g. the typical figures of a compressed air plant:
Up to 12 sensors or 96 Modbus signals, incl. all CS sensors (flow, dew point, pressure, current, KTY, PT100, PT1000) are identify automatically by DS 500. Optional analogue sensors (0/4...20mA, 0...1/10/30 V, pulse) can be configured easily and quickly. Digital sensors can be connected via RS 485, Mod- bus RTU and SDI.
e.g. 0/4...20 mA, 0...10 V. In case of third-party sensors which e.g. only give a 4...20 mA signal for the actual flow in m³/h a total counter reading in m³ can be generated by means of the totalizer function.
Real Time Measured Values
All measured values can be seen at a glance. Threshold exceeding are indicated in red colour. A “measuring site name“ can be allocated to each sensor.
Real Time Measured Values and Graph View
This display replaces the former evaluation of ordinary paper chart recorders and offers lots of advantages. The time axis can be moved by a finger slide.
Additionally to the measurement curves the real time value is indicated as well.
Adjustable Alarm Relays
Each one of the four alarm relays can be allocated individually to a connected sensor. The alarm thresholds and the hysteresis can be freely adjusted.
New: It is possible to set an alarm delay for each alarm relay so that the relay is only triggered after that period of time.
