Betalog 309059" refers to the Negative Common Scanner Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly, which is an industrial hardware component used inside the BETAlog 512 Sequential Events Recorder (SER). This hardware system was originally manufactured by Beta Products (later a division of Hathaway Industries).
System Context & Function
- The System: The BETAlog 512 is a distributed, microprocessor-based data acquisition system. It is used in critical environments—such as power generation and industrial plants—to monitor and record real-time state changes (alarms and standard operations) with millisecond precision.
- The Component (309059): This specific part number designates the Negative Common Scanner PCB. It works alongside a companion part, the Positive Common Scanner PCB (Part Number 309058). Together, these scanner boards interface directly with field contacts to detect input transitions.
