The Schneider Electric Eurotherm Chessell 5100V is a 6-channel graphic data acquisition recorder engineered for industrial process monitoring, data logging, and secure archiving. Built around a color TFT touchscreen interface with user-editable custom screens, it delivers intuitive operation and real-time process visualization. The unit scans all universal input channels at 125ms intervals, supporting DC mV/V/mA inputs, 11 thermocouple types (B, C, D, E, G2, J, K, L, N, R, S, T, U, Ni/NiMo, Platinel), and RTD variants (PT100, PT100A, PT1000, Ni100, Ni120, Ni1000, JPT100, Cu10) in 2- or 3-wire configuration. Relay outputs accommodate up to 6 change-over relays depending on configuration. The isolated transmitter PSU delivers 24V ±10% for 4-20mA loops at 120mA continuous (240mA peak, total).
Data security relies on tamper-proof binary format storage within internal Flash memory, with archiving to PC Card (ATA, 8–260MB) or 3.5″ floppy disk on demand or at preset intervals. The recorder operates both standalone and networked, integrating via 10 Mbps Ethernet (10BaseT, IEEE 802.3) with embedded FTP client/server and SNTP support for time synchronization. Network access spans LANs, dial-up, intranets, and internet connectivity.
