The Second Stage Toward an Environmental Test Network E-PILOT ...

The Second Stage Toward an EnvironmentalTest Network E-PILOT 21The E-PILOT 21 series of software solutions hold a myriad ofpossibilities to evolve data communication network systemof environmental testing equipments to a new dimension.The vision of E-PILOT 21 is a "solution net" of centralized controlto specimen measurement and remote maintenance of test chambersan open network system.Rely on us to lead you to the future stage of environmental testing.

Environmental Testing Centralized Control SoftwareERC-100M/200MWindows CompatibleThe ERC-100M/200M application software makes iteasy to control all types of ESPEC test chamberswith a computer. Use it to set operation parameters,monitor testing, create programs, and record data forup to 16 systems. The communication system ofERC-100M is compatible with ESPEC exclusiveinterface E-BUS. ERC-200M is compatible withcommon interface RS-485, allowing remote controlof test operation.* We also provide a full-customized central control system CMS-J30 (compatible with E-BUS) which enables control of up to32 chambers.Remote operation for easier testingSet testing parameters or monitor operations whilestill in your office from a communication distance ofup to 500 meters via E-BUS(ERC-100M)/ RS485(ERC-200M).Automatic registration of connected testchambersThe functions of test chambers connected to thenetwork are automatically recognized and registeredin the system.Improved operationA mouse can perform all basic operations on thepersonal computer.Easy control and data loggingThe software can automatically record the testoperation and save to a universal CSV (commaseparated values) file.This file can then be opened in spreadsheet softwarelike Excel for analysis and graphing.Achieve greater functionalityThe ERC-100M/200M allows program operations tobe run on test chambers with less-expensive singlesettingcontrollers, thus saving initial cost.ERC200MERC-200MCD-ROMInstallationTest setting & controlMonitoringProgram settingsRS-232COutputConverterERC-200CWindows RRS-485Platinous K SeriesCompact UltraLow temperateChamber*For compatible connecting models, refer to page 9.Fast Cycle ChamberBench-Top TypeTemperature (&Humidty) Chamber
