Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS MONITORING, LOGGING, AND CONTROLLING OF AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003067350
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus performs simultaneous data monitoring, logging, and controlling of the state of a system. The apparatus includes at least one system sensor that provides a sensor data signal corresponding to a system characteristic of which the sensor is detecting, a memory that stores data and program instructions, at least one output port that provides an output signal to the system, a timing source that provides clock timing signals, and a microprocessor that receives the sensor data signal and executes the program instructions to monitor and log data corresponding to the data signal received from the system sensor and to provide system control data to the output port, in accordance with the clock timing signals. The system sensor and other components can be easily fitted to the system. The apparatus memory permits programming that can be adjusted to complement the system to which the apparatus is fitted. The apparatus can efficiently record the system data that is collected by the sensor.
