Performance Monitoring System for Design Validation

CLEVELAND - June 16, 2022 - PRLog -- Log it All with dataTaker!

Whether startups or large manufacturers, companies need data in order to ensure that new products and systems perform to design specifications. "You can't manage what you don't measure" holds true when performing device or system validation and proof of concept for prototype devices. dataTaker Universal Input Data Loggers can collect data from almost any sensor type, making them ideal for system performance monitoring and device validation.

Recording Data for Proof of Scale:

CAS DataLoggers provided the dataTaker as the core of the environmental monitoring solution for Sulas Industries, a solar energy startup that has patented an innovative passive solar tracking device that works without any motors or gears. Sulas is using a dataTaker DT85 Universal Data Logger which has been configured and connected to a wide range of sensors.

Sulas Industries Founder Fin Doyle explains: "When you're planning a new process, you know you need to gather enough data–all the information benefits your company in a multitude of ways. We're using the dataTaker for our multi-value data collection and process validation." The Sulas team is using three thermocouple temperature sensors measuring ambient air temperature and internal temperature, with another three sensors monitoring the hydraulic cylinder pressure in the device.

The Sulas team has also configured their dataTaker to generate and send out a nightly report containing the last 24 hours of recorded data. The dataTaker DT85 serves provides a complete solution monitoring all the required parameters device monitoring, weather, and environmental values. Fin Doyle explains: "The dataTaker plays a key role in our validation process, collecting information on our solar process and giving us hard data for our proof of scale. The DT85's data is also a sales tool for us to show to customers."

dataTaker DT85 Features:

• 16 Universal Analog Channels for up to 48 Sensors
• 8 Bi-Directional Digital Channels
• 4 High-Speed Counter Channels
• Advanced Alarming & Mathematical Capabilities
• Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 Communication with PC
• SDI-12, Modbus, and Serial Sensor Support
• Expendable up to 900 Analog Inputs

Performance Monitoring Systems:

The dataTaker is a full-featured, ruggedized instrument that can stand up to extreme temperatures and demanding industrial environments. The internal memory can store 10 million data points in non-volatile, industrial-rated flash memory.

Software Generates Mimics and Reports:

The dataTaker is supplied with Windows-based dEX software for quick logger setup, real-time monitoring and data download. Users can create customized dashboards with indicators, charts, and graphs to display the collected data.
