INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
____________
INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS – RECORDERS – TESTING
AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 63206 has been prepared by subcommittee SC65B: Measurement
and control devices, of IEC technical committee TC65: Industrial-process measurement, control
and automation.
The IEC 63206 cancels and replaces the IEC 60873-1 and IEC 60873-2, of which it proposes
revisions and updates.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

206 4 Classification
207 4.1 General
208 Recorders can be classified by the way they are powered (e.g.: pneumatic recorder and
209 electrical recorder), by recording medium (e.g.: paper medium recorder and digital medium
210 recorder) or by function (e.g.: continuous signal recorder and event recorder).
211 4.2 Pneumatic recorders
212 Pneumatic recorders mainly record pneumatic standard signals of 20 kPa to 100 kPa, and use
213 paper as recording medium; their marking device and the recording medium are driven by
214 compressed air or electrical motor.
215 4.3 Electrical recorders
216 Electrical recorders record electric signals and are electrically powered. Electrical recorders
217 can be classified:
218 – by mechanical structure as: desktop type, rail mounted type, panel mounted type, portable
219 or board card type;
220 – by function as: chart recorder, X-t recorder (or trend recorder), X-Y recorder, paperless
221 recorder, event recorder, data logger and data acquisition device.
222 In case of control systems, the recorder function could also be done by a software with no
223 hardware dedicated elements.
224 The hardware model for an electrical recorder is as shown in Figure 1. The electrically power
225 supply unit, the input channel unit and the data processing unit are basic modules of a recorder
226 (for example: a data logger). Besides, there should be at least one module of paper medium
227 recording unit, digital medium recording unit (magnetic or CD-RW disk and solid state medium)
228 or communication unit. Display unit, alarm unit and switch output unit are optional.
229 These units’ functions are:
230 – Electrical power supply unit, to provide the recorder with the energy from a power regulator
231 unit that is supplied by AC or DC power supply or a set of rechargeable batteries.
232 – Input channel unit, to receive the signals from process field, it is the interface between the
233 recorder and the external world.
234 – Data processing unit, it is the most important part of an electrical recorder. Its main function
235 is to provide and process the measured signals, make written tabulations and records in a
236 form suitable for digital medium recording units, communication unit or paper medium
237 recording unit. Besides the main measurement function, it may be equipped with a number
238 of additional functions: configuration, adjustment, self-testing, diagnostics, condition
239 monitoring, external process control function, internal data storage, etc.
240 An event recorder, besides above functions, also contains a clock with sufficient time resolution
241 to associate to all input events a time stamp to distinguish their precedence relationship.

263 and paper medium.
264 – Magnetic or optical disk unit have dedicated drivers for recording media disks.
265 – Solid state medium unit, features different interfaces depending on the solid-state medium,
266 e.g. USB.
267 – Communication unit, to exchange information with any external system, for example:
268 sending real time information, receiving external command, or reading internal data storage.
269 – Display or HMI unit, to display chart, trending, data list or to locally operate recorder, it can
270 be realized in many different ways: with display unit, without display unit, and with display
271 unit separate or removable.
272 – Alarm unit, can be used to alert the human operator with different patterns of sound, light,
273 and/or any other signals.
274 – Switch output unit, provides on/off signal to any external system.
275 A PC has most of Figure 1 modules; adding an input module, it becomes a data acquisition
276 device (DAQ).

278 Paper medium recorders are characterized:
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

282 recorders, light beam recorders, (ink) jet recorders and printing recorders;
283 – by quantity of marking devices: single-pen recorders, multiple-pen recorders;
284 – by recording trace: continuous line recorders, dotted line recorders.
285 4.5 Digital medium recorders
286 Digital medium recorders may be used with an external computer which has dedicated software.
287 Their information storage and access can be:
288 – external storage media, including magnetic disks, optical disk units, nonvolatile read-write
289 memories, etc.; using external computer reading information and display historical chart,
290 trending or data list;
291 – communication interface, using external computer display real time chart, trending, data list
