X500E Sequence of Events Recorder
The X500E Sequence of Events Recording System provides Utilities and Process
Industries with the most advanced event monitor and fault finder.
The Systems high speed, high resolution digital data acquisition capability
provides for instant display of plant and equipment status changes on color videos,
printers, and window annunciators in the Control Room.
Large historical event information (500,000 events) provide for concise and
selective analysis of plant shutdowns or equipment failures.
The X500E Systems architecture allows to configure single train to fully
redundant network and hardware based Systems to meet specific custom requirements.
The Systems can provide or receive real time synchronization via IRIG-B signal
from GPS or Time Code Generator.
