Your programmable logic controller (PLC) is an untapped data source for fault diagnosis and optimisation that is constantly creating new process control data parameters. Unfortunately, this process data is not easily accessible or fully recorded; that’s where datumpin can help.
What is datumpin?
datumpin embedded data memory (eDM) connects seamlessly to your PLC network, harvesting your data creating an onboard, formatted binary memory of setpoints, digital, analogue and error messages on a synchronised time base. Coupled with datumpins’ edge computing, stored data from multiple sources is synchronised in a curated data repository store.
With datumpin, your PLC data history is at your fingertips, enabling cyber secure transmittal to your process control systems, enabling fault diagnosis and optimisation.
What makes datumpin’s eDM unique?
datumpin’s patented eDM technology acquires, stores, transmits and enables retrieval of full data histories of PLC controlled processes, which is completely unique and patented. PLC sequence memory provides a rich source of data that reveals how your control software process really works. Without embedded memory, data is lost when the PLC moves on to the next step of the sequence.
datumpin’s eDM technology provides a simple solution. Embedded into the PLC controller network, the eDM unlocks detailed system performance information, including automated service point efficiency and fault detection classification. That’s along with a vast data stack of warning, alarm messages and setpoints in a single, syncronised timebase.
There’s no disruption to your current PLC software either. datumpin works alongside your SCADA and HMI graphical user interface programs, and no changes to your PLC software are required. The installation process is very quick and easy, with a one-day audit and three-hour installation time.
The eDM includes datumpin’s patented, hardwire unidirectional firewall, which is specifically tailored to protect your PLC controller critical network. Penetration testing by external agencies has validated that your critical control network is protected by the two ARM processors protected by transmit-only hardwire link to keep your data secure.
