Precise data acquisition, high-level process security
A simple, user-friendly solution.
Machine data acquisition is gaining
significance. Harvesting key machine data
is the key to process security and economic
feasibility.
Operating data acquisition
A module to collect operating data is a
standard feature on all Profitronic M washer-
extractors. This unit saves data from the last
300 programme cycles. This information can
be called up from the Profitronic M controls
via the display. Data logging and recording
starts as soon as use of the washer-
extractor commences.
Superordinate data
• e.g. installation site, operator, date and
machine no.
Machine data
• e.g. operating hour count
General programme data
• e.g. programme name, start and finish
times
Specific programme data
• e.g. consumption data, temperatures,
programme block times, dispensing
Use of operating data
Specially compiled software (IBH) offers
additional user convenience when
evaluating and archiving data. Data can be
transferred to a PC for further processing
using an optional RS 232 interface.
This simple approach and software
solution enables large data volumes to be
processed, visualised and archived on a PC
or laptop. Process data can be displayed,
edited and saved in charts or tables. Data
can be exported to other programs, for
example Microsoft Excel, with ease.
