1.1 Feature of KRN 100
KRN100 is 100mm hybrid recorder with dot. It combines functions of paper recorder and
paperless recorder by saving function with an USB memory (the world’s first) and by adopting
Trend graph, Bar graph, digital number display function through graphic LCD.
KRN100 enables to print the saved data of system memory as data backup function when run
out of recording paper. KRN100 improves convenience by parameter setting, data transmittion
through RS485 and Ethernet communication (USB device is only for parameter setting), and
backup data logger function.
It also adopts slot type input, output card to connect option card up to 12 channels. It supports
several communication types, of course, and graphic user interface(GUI) with graphic display for
easire and convenient use.
Combines functions of paper recorder and paperless recorder
Enables to print the saved data of inner memory when run out of recording paper (Data
logger function)
Inner data backup with an USB memory
High legibility and setting convenient by graph LCD
25ms high sampling, 240mm/h high speed record function
100mm paper record (Selectable 6 kinds of record color)
Supports system memory and external memory data backup (storage)
Supports several input up to 12 channel with slot type input card
Enables to select several option card with slot type output card
Supports several communication(RS485, Ethernet) to transfer real time data
Enables to set parameter with USB Device※1
Space saving for installation with compact design (Rear length: 168mm)
Supports total 27 kinds of input sensor
