Honeywell Multitrend Plus V5 Electronic Data Recorder

The Honeywell Multitrend Plus V5 Electronic Data Recorder is a DIN-format industrial data acquisition system featuring a 12.1″ color TFT display for real-time process monitoring and secure data logging. It accepts up to 32 universal analog inputs, 16 discrete inputs/outputs, and 16 SPDT relay outputs, with programmable alarm capabilities across 64 software alarms driving up to 48 outputs. The unit supports multiple removable storage media—floppy disk, ZIP drive, and PCMCIA/Compact Flash cards—with an 8 Mbyte battery-backed buffer and FIFO recycling mode for continuous operation. Custom screen design, event marking with timestamped messages, and independent per-pen logging rates enable flexible deployment across pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and process control applications requiring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
