CS-504
Calibration Software was developed to automate and manage
instrument calibration processes together with Presys
calibrators:
•
Allows the registration of instruments and sensors,
calibration standards and factory areas, and also the choice
of engineering units and signal types to be used in
calibrations.
• Brings more efficiency to the organization of calibrations
through work order concept.
• Sends and receives calibrator information by means of
serial communication.
• Runs in Windows and it is easily operated.
CS-504
makes possible the Documenting Calibration System
accomplishment by means of information shared with Presys
calibrators, allowing data handling through report and
certificate issues, automatic management of tasks,
registration of process instruments and sensors, organization
and storage of data for an overall coverage of quality
procedure requirements, specially those related to ISO 9000.
CS-504 allows the specification of work orders with
calibration strategies of several instruments to be
calibrated. Through its instructions, the calibrators perform
the correct sequence for calibration of all points and, when
it is necessary, organize the data input to be provided by the
operator. In the field, the calibrators have sufficient
autonomy to inform the operator of the measures already
carried out and the deviations found during the calibration
process.
CS-504
allows the registration of several instruments and sensors,
engineering units, signal types, calibration standards and
factory areas, making it easier to configure new calibration
strategies by using registers already specified.
It
helps to verify calibration standards compliance, due to the
registration of their calibration certificate number and
validity. All information concerning the registration of instruments or
the results of calibrations are stored in CS-504 database that
can also be easily accessed with Access™.
Each
instrument is associated to a tag, configured with one or two
calibration strategies (for instrument input and output, for
example), including an option for reading ambient temperature
with a probe Pt-100 connected to the calibrator. The
calibration points must also be defined, either chosen by the
user or calculated by the software, and the direction of
sequence to be followed (up and/or down).
The
automatic calibrations can be performed without interference
of the operator when the calibrator generates a sequence of
signals that are associated to the values measured
simultaneously in its input. When the calibrator does not
measure or when it does not generate a certain type of signal,
as in a calibration of an indicator or manual station, for
example, the calibrator asks the operator to enter through the
keypad the value corresponding to each measure carried out
during the calibration.
Calibration
strategies of up to 10 tags are organized in work orders and
transmitted to a calibrator by means of serial communication. The calibrators perform two types of calibration: as found
and as left. The as found calibration is carried
out to verify the instrument present conditions, while the as
left allows the calibration points to be checked over more
than one up/down sequence, usually after the instrument
adjustment.
After
returning calibration data to the computer, it is possible to
visualize through tables the results of the as found
and as left calibrations, and print error graphics for
the calibration points.
CS-504
offers three kinds of calibration reports, distinguished from
one another by the layout of the measured values presentation,
which also show the instrument description, calibration
conditions, used standards, failures and comments. All the
information mentioned is stored in the database.
The
software also allows the printing of reports with information
about calibrations registered in the database, as calibration
history per instrument or tag, and annual statistics of the
number of calibration of each factory area.
