Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

[HydroBuff]

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 inexpensive pressure transducer that I could install on a a pressure line that would log data every time the machine spikes above a preset amount. Then later I could come back and view results. It would need to log for several weeks, or months at a time.

If any of you can suggest a device that meets the criteria above, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,

What is the pressure range?
What is the budget?
What is driving the pumps?
What is attached to the pumps?
Is the attachment via hardline or by hose?

you can write simple software using VB.Net (I think the most easiest programming language) and you can create simple HMI within the Visual Studio. then you can communicate with the pressure transducer using RS232, 485, etc. in your program, you can include logging of your data at particular time interval.
It is basically very simple.
you may need to use some simple microcontroller such as Arduino, Rasberry, or even a MicroBit can do the job to communicate and read the signal from the transducer and convert it to the digital input of your computer for the HMI.

as for the pressure transducer, there are a lot now you can buy from online store.

if you are looking for a transducer that can do data logging at same time, I am not aware of that.

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 $500.
The pumps are Parker tripple gear pumps on a pto from any random triaxle truck
The pump pressure is being used by Parker F130 valves to control various booms and other functions.
All the attachements are made by hose. I already have diagnostic quick connects in place. I can adapt or whatever to make any type of connection work.

Best Regards,

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