Rotronic’s UniversalMonitoring System: RMS
RMS – ROTRONIC MONITORING SYSTEMHigh quality standards in production and storage necessitate a comprehensive monitoring system that delivers variousmeasured data reliably. The adaptive RMS Rotronic Monitoring System is the perfect solution for a variety of applications.RMS – For Every ApplicationThe Rotronic Monitoring System is a modular system of hardware elements and a serversoftware. It guarantees maximum flexibility at installation time, and ensures excellentavailability of the data during operation. The data loggers record all measurements byRotronic and third-party sensors and transmit them to the database. It stores all information and makes it available to all users, regardless of whether they access the database by PC, Mac, tablet or smart phone.RMS – For Big and SmallThe RMS is ideal for both large monitoring systems in international corporations andfor simple small applications, for which Rotronic makes the database available as cloudaccount.RMS – The One-Stop SolutionRotronic does not only supply the individual components such as the instruments andsoftware for the monitoring system.

LAN AND WIRELESS SYSTEMAll RMS components come with a LAN or wireless interface. They are linked to each other in an Ethernet network or send theirdata to the data center via a gateway. In this way every module transmits its data to the RMS database. It must therefore beensured by way of network connections that the RMS modules can reach the server with the Server Software.Display ModuleThe display module can show any values from the RMS network.Humidity, temperature and switch states can be configured persoftware.Standard LoggerRecords the measured data of the digital HygroClip HCD or otherRMS probes. Stored in the ring memory, the data are then sentto the server software.Output ModuleProvides two analog voltage or current outputs or is also available as variant with two solid-state relays in order, for example,to switch alarm lamps.Input ModuleRecords voltage or current signals from analog devices such asparticle counters, flow transmitters or CO2 probes. For example:– AF1 transmitter (airflow)– CO2 transmitter (CO2)– PF4 transmitter (differential pressure)Temperature LoggersThe loggers can be equipped with various temperature sensors(NTC, Pt100, Pt1000 or K-element). This offers highest flexibilityin use.Mini LoggerA temperature logger with integrated or remote NTC sensor.Instead of a temperature sensor, it is also available with a switchinput in order, for example, to monitor door contacts.GatewayThe gateway is the connecting element between Ethernet andwireless network and forwards the data flow from the loggers tothe data center.Data Center6Rotronic’s Universal Monitoring System: RMS

RMS CONVERTERIntegrate Third-Party Devices with the RMS ConverterThe RMS converter allows integration of digital third-party devices via an Ethernet interface. The hardware collects the data of allthird-party components and, if necessary, controls them. In this way Rotronic devices from existing networks as well as web camsor third-party devices with public protocol can be integrated. Our customers are therefore able to implement software extensionseasily on a project-specific basis. The only requirement is that the devices have an Ethernet interface.Data IntegrityThe RMS converter stores the collected data internally so that the data are safe in theevent of an interruption in communication with the database. When the network connection has been restored, the data are synchronized automatically with the database.RMS Converter as GatewayA simple extension with a USB dongleturns the RMS converter into a wirelessgateway for RMS wireless data loggers –and into a cost-effective solution for theuser.Data CenterSupported ProtocolsDevices Already Supported– RoASCII– Rotronic HygroFlex transmitters– HTTP– Rotronic HygroLog data loggers– Customer-specific extension– Rotronic HL-RC wireless data loggers– Rotronic differential pressuretransmitters– Rotronic clean room panelOutput Devices8Rotronic’s Universal Monitoring System: RMS

DATA SECURITY/DATA INTEGRITY/FDA CONFORMITYData security, data integrity, data availability: these three terms play a central role in monitoring systems. The RMS scores in allthese fields with convincing results.Data SecurityFDA/GMP RequirementsData security means the data cannot be viewed by unauthorized persons or stolen.Regulators in the pharmaceutical andThis is achieved through encryption during transfer and storage.food industries demand that all relevantevents are recorded such that they areclear and traceable. This is achievedthrough electronic marking of all calibration measurements and verification processes. The so-called “electronic recording” requires unique identification ofcertificates. This means that every calibration certificate with date and inspection stamp must be traceable such thatthe correctness of the calibration chaincan be verified.Audit TrailWhen a monitoring system is commissioned, it is calibrated and validated. Inthis way the operator assures his qualitydepartment that the system works correctly.

In this way, faulty data communication is recognized and the data stored in the buffer memory are sent againuntil the transmission has been finished.Data Integrity in RMSAll data in RMS are sent with CRC checksums and confirmed bythe recipient after receipt. Faulty data transmission is thus ruledout. Should the data not arrive at the recipient, they are storedintermediately by the logger and can then be transmitted at alater point in time when the connection has been restored.Availability of Data CentersThanks to the server database and Server Software, very highavailability of the data is already implemented in the basic concept of the RMS. The data can be viewed without problem fromanywhere in the world with all conventional devices. Security isguaranteed by user rights and authentication.Rotronic’s Universal Monitoring System: RMS11

This simplifiesthe complete commissioning processsignificantly.Rotronic’s Universal Monitoring System: RMS13
RMS SERVICESCalibration and AdjustmentIn spite of the almost legendary long-term stability of Rotronic sensors, we advise our customers to calibrate their probes regularly.Calibration once a year normally suffices. However, more frequent calibration can be necessary if the probes are used in polluted/contaminated atmospheres.Humidity and temperature measuring instruments are precision instruments that must be serviced regularly to maintain reliability.Measurement errors can cause substantial damage to products during production and storage. If the last calibration carried out byyou is long in the past, we recommend you attend one of our calibration seminars. In one day we refresh your knowledge and carryout practical calibrations with you.What Are the Calibration Options?We can calibrate your instruments both on your premises or in our laboratory– or you calibrate the instruments yourself:1. Calibration in Rotronic laboratory– RAG factory adjustment certificate (ISO 9001 standard)– SCS certificate (Swiss Calibration Standard, accredited laboratoryProject PlanningISO/IEC 17025)2. We come to you– HygroGen humidity and temperature generator– Calibration mobile3. You calibrate yourself– Rotronic calibration device and SCS-certified humidity standards– SCS-certified reference probes (reference measurement)– HygroGenProject PlanningCalibration MobileWe support you from planning to realization of your system. This ensuresoptimal design for your processing unit. The uniqueness of your applicationcan necessitate a multitude of function-specific settings and measurementsystems. Rotronic is one of the leading suppliers in the world for humidity andtemperature measurement equipment – profit from our know-how!Validation/QualificationGlobal companies are increasingly subject to obligatory international regulations. For example, manufacturers wishing to deliver pharmaceutical productsor foods to the USA must fulfill the requirements of the FDA1.
