ABB RMIO-12C Inverter I/O Unit
The Analyzer Network is a critical component aspart of the end user’s installed base and must be
considered as a key item when planning for the
replacement of Legacy GC’s. The upgrade of the
Analyzer Network not only grant extended
protection associated with Cybersecurity
aspects, but also ensures the benefit to explore
the full potential of an updated Process Gas
Chromatograph installed base. ABB’s STAR Data
Management System meets those features,
allowing remote access to all networked analyzer
assets from a central control point.
The STAR Data Management System is a client server software platform that empowers users to
gain the maximum benefit from process analyzer
data. It is constituted by the STAR Client and STAR
Server. The Star Client is a remote user interface,
or portal into your analyzer network, for data
display and analysis and the Star Server is a
centralized sever for data collection and storage,
enabling statistical trending and reporting of
analyzer performance based on historical data.
The STAR Client software is single application for
viewing Process Analyzer Data Statistics,
Analyzer Availability Calculations, Maintenance
Logs, Trending and Reporting that also contains a
single launch portal for the Remote User
Interfaces (RUIs) of the PGC5000, NGC / PGC1000
and legacy products, including the PGC2000 and
3100 Series. It runs on user workstations located
anywhere on the analyzer network for data
display and analysis and establishes connection
to the STAR Server. Analyzer Data content can be
accessed and managed, such as GC reports,

chromatograms, alarms, events, analyzer
documents and measurements, like components
concentrations. The Analyzer data can be
accessed in real time or when stored on the STAR
Server or on the SD card from the PGC5000A
Master Controller or PGC5000 Integrated
Controller oven.
Value added features:
• Plat View - End users can have a visual
perspective about the condition of the
analyzers. In the event of an alarm or issue with
any analyzer, a visual identification is
highlighted in the application, alerting the
Maintenance Department for a quick action.
• Analyzer Availability Calculation - Unique
feature highlighting the uptime and downtime
conditions of the analyzer installed base. Pie
chart can be generated per tag, showing the
analyzer health condition divided in 7 different
states of operation, displaying as % and total
hours.
• Maintenance Logs - Maintenance logs can be
added to each analyzer for the improvement of
maintenance history. Can be tied to the
maintenance flag in the analyzer.
• Analyzer Configuration, Upgrades and Log
Files – Remote capability for analyzer software
upgrades, troubleshooting, save and create
backup configurations.
• Overlays of Trends and Chromatograms –
Enhancing the troubleshooting ability of
analyzer devices.
• Export Data – Ability to export data for further
analysis.
