Introduction
This Technical Information (TI) describes the overview and functions of the DAQSTATION
DX100/DX200.
Please read this document to fully use the capabilities of the DX100/200.
Companies today face a growing number of challenges – reducing total cost of ownership (TCO),
improving efficiency, and controlling quality. As these needs increase, companies must deal with a growing
amount of information needed to make informed decisions.
Conventional industrial recorders have been used primarily to monitor and record data in the field. In order
to quickly extract information that is valuable to a user from this sea of data, recorders need to be made
intelligent. This means they need to have advanced information processing and communication
capabilities.
The DX Series of DAQSTATION represents a leading-edge solution for 21
st
-century field data stations
from YOKOGAWA, the worldwide leader in recorder technology.

Features
Network capability
Since Ethernet is supported as a standard, installation in an existing LAN/WAN environment is quick.
FTP transfer of data files is possible with the FTP client/server functions. In addition, data files can be
periodically and automatically transferred to an FTP server.
By connecting the DAQSTATION to a network, auto transfer of data, centralized management, and
remote data monitoring can be carried out. Reliability is improved by the duplication of data files and
cost reduction is achieved in terms of data collection.
A wide variety of display options
High visibility has been achieved by using 5.5-inch and 10.4-inch high-resolution color TFT monitors on
the DX100 and DX200, respectively.
In addition to trend displays, there are various other display functions including bar graphs, numeric, and
overview displays. You can select the optimal display for the conditions present.
Storage options for greater flexibility
The DAQSTATION lineup contains models that support external recording media other than 3.5" floppy
disks such as flash ATA memory cards and Zip disks. Zip is best suited to long-term data storage while
flash ATA memory card is best suited to harsh operating conditions.
In addition, only the necessary data can be stored, thanks to the abundant file formats and trigger
functions.
Rugged construction for high reliability
"Reliability that exists even in the toughest conditions." YOKOGAWA takes pride in providing the most
reliable products.
All measured data are stored to the flash memory, which does not require battery backup. In addition,
measured data are periodically stored to the external recording medium and, at the same time,
measurement data files are automatically transferred to an FTP server. In addition, the front section of
the case conforms to the IP65 and the NEMA4 standard, which shuts out power dust and even jet
streams. The DAQSTATION is reliable in all sorts of field conditions.
