    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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,

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

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

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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?

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

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

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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.

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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...

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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.

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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.

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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...

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

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

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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...

    Hydraulic Pressure Data Logging

    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...

    Remote PLC Updates and Diagnostics Via Ethernet

    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...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    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...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    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...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    That's also the conclusion I have come to, my mistake for not properly understanding the manual. I had understood it to say that the LS comps work just fine with the ASC and since that is the part our company had in stock for another application, that's what I used. As far as to which port my...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    FluidPower, you did get me thinking, Do you think that I would be required to have at least one AS type compensator valve section? Thanks!

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    Absolutely! I apologize for not providing all the details immediately. Let me know if I miss any here. We are using an ASC mid-inlet which is designed for AS style compensators. We are not using any AS style compensators, but my understanding was is that it should work with standard...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    Hi everybody, I thought I would give an update here, in case anyone has ever heard of a similar situation; for some reason adjusting the PLM relief screw does not even lower the LS pressure. Am I correct in my understanding that it should? Why would it continue to build pressure with the...

    Parker K220LS Relief Valve

    Thanks Compositepro! I will try that.
