Security with a userbased guarantee

The machine data logger (MDL) saves any process data permanently and securly. The incorruptible proof of operating conditions, machine use , maintenance etc. makes it possible to achieve a performance based warentee. Utilization warrenties offer enormous advantages for machine maufacturers the same as for machine users. The usual timebased garrantees in every case try to reach the specifred machine operating time and therefore plan difficult calculable risks like machine limistations and incomplete service. The MDL excludes such risks: manufactures now define their guarrantee limits, and users can plan reliably.

Increased availability, reduced service costs

The Machine data logger (MDL) can save costs for the user by user defined service intervals. The MDL supports early warning functions of the manufactures, warning if selected operating parameters reach a limit: production interuptions are reduced so resulting service costs only load dependent. The secure production data acquisition increases the market value of the machine by the MDL and creates an additional security during the rental, for example with construction machines.

Incorruptible control

The manufacturer can lock the MDL parameters using a PC- programm. In operation the master- SPS writes the selected process data over the profibus- DP. Every access is recorded with an internal time marker. The stored data is retained over 15 years and can be read in a table format by the machine manufacturer via a USB- interface. Every MDL works with machine related and blocks similary to a dongle by deactivating the SPS. Also exchange of the MDL or the access to the data storage is impossible.
