The Yokogawa FX1006-4-3-L, also cataloged as the FX1006 Paperless Recorder, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-precision process data acquisition and archival within industrial monitoring networks. This device provides direct electrical execution of multi-channel signal measurement (DCV, TC, RTD, DI) and stores data in secure binary formats across internal and removable media storage.

Hardware Specifications

Process Control and DCS Connectivity

The FX1006-4-3-L is engineered for high-accuracy data logging, featuring measurement precision of ±0.05% for DCV inputs and ±0.15% for thermocouple (TC) and RTD inputs. Its architecture supports data redundancy across network configurations, ensuring that critical process information is synchronized and preserved even in the event of secondary node failures. The 5.7-inch color TFT LCD provides real-time visualization of process variables, while optional USB interfaces and network connectivity enable seamless integration into existing DCS and supervisory control architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the FX1006-4-3-L support field-side signal scaling for different input types?

A: Yes, the device supports configurable scaling for DCV, TC, and RTD inputs directly through the front-panel menu, allowing for the normalization of raw field values into engineering units.

Q: Is it possible to perform data migration while the device is actively sampling?

A: Yes, the unit allows for data export to external SD or CF cards while simultaneously maintaining sampling and recording functions to the internal memory, ensuring no loss of process data during archive retrieval.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify the mounting location meets the requirements for a standard 19-inch rack, ensuring adequate airflow to maintain internal component temperatures below the 55 deg C limit.
• Ensure the power supply matches the 100-120 VAC specification; utilize a dedicated circuit to prevent voltage fluctuations from affecting measurement accuracy.
• Connect all field input wiring to the terminal board, ensuring that shielded twisted-pair cables are used for low-level signals to mitigate common-mode noise.
• Terminate all cable shields at a single point to the plant earth ground to prevent ground loops that could degrade the ±0.05% measurement precision.
• Confirm that the enclosure is properly sealed to maintain the integrity of the front-panel display and user interface buttons.
