ABB SM504FCC0000ESTD Videographic Recorder

The ABB SM504FCC0000ESTD is a four‑channel field‑mountable videographic recorder in ABB’s SM500F family, designed to capture, display, and securely log process data from four analog/digital inputs. It is powered from 100–240 V AC and can be installed in harsh industrial environments, with a mounting flexibility that supports wall, pipe, or panel installation in a compact enclosure rated for demanding service. The unit supports TFT color or monochrome displays and presents data in chart, bargraph, or digital indicator formats for on‑site monitoring. Data from the four channels can be recorded locally to both a small internal memory and a removable media path for archival, with automatic overwriting as needed. The SM504 supports two independent process groups and provides multiple display and logging options to suit operator needs.

Storage and data integrity are built into the design: an 8 Mb internal flash memory holds samples (up to about 2 million data points), while a removable SD card provides extended archiving (commonly referenced as a 2 Gb card in the SM500F family). Data can be written to removable media with automatic verification and configurable file structures, which can be binary or CSV, depending on the application. Networking capabilities include Ethernet for remote monitoring and data access, as well as Modbus TCP support for integration with other control systems. The SM504F family emphasizes rugged durability with enclosure protections that align with field deployments (NEMA 4X and IP66), making it suitable for dusty, wet, or hose‑down environments where reliable, paperless recording is critical. Typical applications include process monitoring, alarm logging, and trend analysis in industrial plants where four simultaneous input channels are required.
