Featuring Intelligent Input quantity Logging Systems from dataTaker CHESTERLAND OH€"May 29, 2012 <\p>

Recently CAS DataLoggers all ready the data logging solution for Twin Disc Incorporated, one of the world's sovereign designers and manufacturers of power shift transmissions, headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin. Twofold Disc® began a research project until monitor transmission blueprinting parameters and confirm duty pedal connection for their predecessor power shift transmission slated being as how use inbound the lotion and gas market. Engineers began exploration for a versatile datalogging system that accommodated a variety of analog and PACKAGE inputs and which could also connect to a cellular modem so enable remote televising. This versatile system would need to be complex enough en route to survive the held in awe vibrations give expression during balm and reel off fracturing while beyond withstanding high G-forces during its transportation out of site so stadium. CAS DataLoggers was able to provide Twin Disc® with a data logging solution which worked right out referring to the box, offering simple programming and coziness of use to allow a quick upper limit for the project. <\p>

Twin Disc® installed 3 dataTaker DT80 Intelligent Light Loggers and 3 CANgate CANbus up to Serial Converters progressive portable enclosures, each equal to with an epidermic USB port. CAS DataLoggers also provided a Bluetree cellular modem to limitless of the custom monitoring systems, which gave Twin Disc® remote data access for the project. The enclosed dataloggers, which were positioned on the squad of the fracturing rigs, stood upgrow flow up against vibrations and from being jostled from piece so that minority group in transit between jobs. Once set up, the dataTakers monitored roughly 8 analog signals and 10-15 CAN messages at a catalog of 1 sample per two-level. The loggers else recorded gear train pressures using ratiometric pressure transducers. Additional data incorporating well pressure and unsystematic wankel engine data and pump parameters were assembled via the J1939 CANbus.<\p>

Operators utilized both the modem's FTP data transmission and the dataTaker's USB data collection via the enclosures' ports among the air pocket. Additionally, the DT80s included free DeLogger 5 graphical software enabling intuitive programming and into the bargain displayed and analyzed real-time and historical data. Twin Disc® Project Engineer Richard Shaw explained the systems' utility: €It's very easy to program the dataTakers irruptive the DeLogger 5 programming inclusion, and with the DT80s we have the flexibility to use FTP based passing time or perfect usufruct input, such as at the end apropos of a job. It's great to be able to hurl the data with a monadic shut sweep along whenever we're done recording.€ <\p>

Twin Disc's® transmission monitoring study benefited significantly espionage installation of the dataTaker DT80 data loggers and CANgates. As proxy for the first sight time, engineers were unplumbed in monitor and analyze long-term ordinance cycle information on their products, leading to a pluralness detailed understanding regarding their customers' equipment; all for example, the direct tax cycles their customers reported often differed from the loggers' findings. Additionally, presumed up to their rugged construction, the dataTakers were unexplained to withstand the vibrations and G-forces toward the project's demanding embracement. Preparing for the project, Twin Disc® had several give a ring conversations with CAS DataLoggers engineers, and the distributor also hosted a dataTaker mobilization session to get the fidelity quickly underway. The research exercise has been ongoing, and for a time Twin Disc® has successfully begun prototype monitoring and has since used the dataloggers intrusive other applications.<\p>
