Definitions
- This invention relates to a control method and system and, in particular, to a data logging
- the system can have a wide variety of applications, such as in the control of plant
- the records are automatically updated when the serviceman is instructed
- the invention in its broadest sense comprises a control system to monitor and maintain various parameters
- records on the data-logger can be re-fed to the computer to update the records thereon.
- the serviceman's data-logger is provided with means whereby it can obtain
- the invention also relates to a data-logger for use with such a system.
- Fig 1 Comprises a perspective view of the data-logger of the invention. The description will be on the basis of a plant maintenance system, though it is to be understood
- This database will normally include a number of fields of information and, in one
- the database could also include further information such as the type of lubricant to be used in
- the information on the database includes an indication of an
- identifying feature on a particular part of the particular equipment There are two ways of providing this identifying feature: one, by providing a bar-code adjacent
- the invention includes, in association with the databases, a data-logger 10 which may itself be
- a computer having a pre-determined amount of Random Access Memory and a CPU.
- the data-logger's input can be of three forms.
- the first of these ll may be a standard RS232,
- the port some other port or an infra-red data connection means or a modem based connection, the port
- the second can consist of number of
- Dallas Touch indicator reader or a bar code reader 13. Associated with the Dallas Touch reader
- the bar-code reader there can be a port 14 to which an extension reader can be connected to
- the data-logger can have an LCD screen 15 which, in one application, could be forty characters
- the data-logger may have a sleep
- the face 12 may have six other input buttons or the like. Two of
- these 16,17 may be up and down keys which moves the display of the data-logger from position
- a third 18 may be a proceed to next not done job key which may also be used to
- Another 9 may be a key which indicates that a particular
- the last 20 can be a numeric input which may also be used to provide a coded message for later
- the data-logger is connected to the computer having the database, and all matters which have to be attended to by the particular
- the number of jobs can be displayed on the data ⁇
- this is preferably so programmed that requied information can be placed
- the jobs can either be done in order or in any order required by the technician, with
- the display will come up with an indication of the machine and either the jobs to be done on the
- the job would also have an indication of the material or materials to be used or the part to be used.
- the technician can maintain a check on all jobs, completed, non-completed or not
- numeric input button possibly in association with the up and down keys or some
- fault condition such as any abnormal temperature in any area where temperature is monitored
- the user of the data-logger makes use of the input 13 or its associated
- input 14 provide either an actuating device for the Dallas devices, or a bar-code reader.
- the data-logger can be so set up that if the bar code or the Dallas Touch device is read, this will
- Dallas Touch devices there can be additional functions which can be effected.
- one form of the device is arranged to provide a temperature reading in its output.
- the temperature can be recorded so that there is a history of the temperature maintained.
- Dallas Touch device In a further form of Dallas Touch device the device is not passive and includes a memory. This
- the device can be sufficient to hold a number of pages of text so that the device can be used either to
- the numeric input can be provided with a number of codes which are associated with a
- the technician can, by entering a required code, and the
- the data-logger is encased in a way to give protection when it is being used
- this may include an outer casing or cover which is of shock- absorbing material.
