Yokogawa DX106-2-2

Full Model Number: DX106-2-2

Product Introduction:
The DX106-2-2 is a 6-channel universal paperless recorder from Yokogawa’s DX1000 series. It replaces traditional chart recorders with a color LCD display, providing trend recording, data logging, alarm management, and communication in a compact DIN rail-mountable form factor.

Model Code Breakdown:

  • DX106: DX1000 series, 6-channel recorder
  • 2-2: Specific configuration code (indicates input type and output options)

Structural Features:

  • DIN rail mounting (35 mm rail) or panel mounting
  • Front panel with color LCD and membrane keypad
  • Removable terminal block for easy wiring
  • SD card slot for data backup and firmware update

Working Principle:
Analog input signals are converted by a 24-bit A/D converter with high-speed sampling. The microprocessor processes the data, applies linearization (for TC/RTD), scaling, and engineering unit conversion. Data is stored in non-volatile flash memory and displayed as real-time trends, bar graphs, and numerical values. Alarm functions compare each channel against user-defined setpoints with hysteresis.

Advantages & Highlights:

  • Replaces paper chart recorders — zero consumable cost (no paper, ink, or pens)
  • 6.5-inch color display provides clear, simultaneous multi-channel trend viewing
  • 10 million data point memory enables long-term data logging without data loss
  • Ethernet connectivity enables remote monitoring and data retrieval via PC/SCADA
  • Built-in math functions: totalization, averaging, rate of change, deviation

Applicable Industries:

  • Manufacturing process monitoring (injection molding, extrusion, heat treatment)
  • HVAC system monitoring and energy management
  • Water and wastewater treatment plants
  • Food and beverage production lines
  • Pharmaceutical batch recording (21 CFR Part 11 capable with optional software)

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on DIN rail or panel in a location with good visibility and access for wiring
  • Keep away from strong electromagnetic interference sources (transformers, VFDs)
  • Use shielded cables for TC and RTD inputs
  • Connect ground terminal to plant earth ground

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not connect voltage inputs exceeding the rated range (maximum 100 V DC for voltage inputs)
  • For TC inputs, use the correct thermocouple type — mismatched type will cause large measurement errors
  • Backup data to SD card periodically to prevent data loss in case of memory failure
  • Do not open the enclosure in explosive atmospheres — use an explosion-proof barrier if required
