Do you know, would the USB6007 log data for several days without being plugged into a laptop and then later I could connect to laptop and view logs? In other words, I want to be able to log data for several days at a time, then view a graph of that later. Thanks,

Thanks @danw2 I will be sure to look into this.

Thanks for bringing that up. There certainly must be more data. If you were in this scenario, what type of data would you be looking for?

That's what I'm highly suspicious of. For instance, when the boom is coming down with a heavy load and multitasking.

The relief valves are installed on the F130 valve. The system schematic is proprietary, let me see if I can cut some snippets that show the neccesary functions.

To be honest, I can't prove that is what is happening which is why I am investigating the possibility of a data logger. We are using a Parker tripple gear pump, and the section that is running the main boom of a truck loader is seeing various failures. Some pumps crrack the housing, others scar...

I would say we all know we can't have too much data when analyzing a failure. I have not been able to pinpoint the failure cause of these pumps yet, although I expect that it is most likely a pressure spike at random times. I was not able to prove that yet, thogh.

I should clarify on my budget. I threw out the number $500 because it would have been cool to be under that. We are, however; a small company and I was not handed that budget from anyone above, if I say it is neccesary, I can get it. I am more than willing to pay more if neccesary.

Cool idea! I actually thought of the same, but decided that it really didn't look very professional. 😊 Thank you for your suggestion. I actually already have access to IQAN plc's and will easily be able to accomplish the same thing with them, only I didn't want to wire up and go through the...

I was really looking for some simple off the shelf software, but I would be open to programming if neccesary.

I'm sorry, like usual it looks like I didn't post enough of the pertinent details. The main pressure relief is set at 3600 psi., but I expect that it may be spiking to more like 6000psi going by the types of failures we have had. The budget? I hadn't thought of that yet.🙂Actually probably under...

Hi folks, I am having a large amount of hydraulic pumps fail on a certain brand and model of equipment so I want to add a device to log and monitor pressure. The machine has absolutely no HMI software or plc controls, so I am wondering if anyone would have any recommendations on some type of...

Good Morning, All, I am using some Parker IQAN PLC's for some equipment out in the field. IQAN uses an RJ45 ethernet port for diagnostics and software updates and I am wondering if any of you would have suggestions of products that I could use to securely connect to these machines remotely. I...

HI @FluidPowerUser, Apparently, my other valve had a slightly different configuration and therefore it could build higher pressures with the same pump compensator setting. That fooled me into believing that the pump setting wasn’t the problem. I can now correctly adjust and change pressure...

OK, back I come.☺️ I tried to install a KAS type compensator in my valve, all to no avail. A Parker engineer finally responded to my request and informed me that it should actually be just fine to have all standard LS compensators with an AS type inlet. I guess I am back to the drawing board...
