How to saving engine data in USB memory by using PV450

Post by Mitsufusa Narita » Tue Sep 17, 2013 2:04 am

Our customer wants to save the below engine's "Engine RPM" and "Engine LOAD" data in USB memory by using PV-450.
Please let me know how to save these data.
In addition, let me know CAN-ID of the below engine's "Engine RPM" and "Engine LOAD"
User's engine name is CAT 3126.

Dear Narita-san,
I have enclosed a zip file with a basic configuration and how it was done. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Dear Phil Cebuhar
Thank you for your reply.

I know PV450 can log engine data, but I have one more question.
Can PV450 log a day's work engin rpm and load with real clock time per second?

Dear Mitsufusa Narita-san,
Using the configuration I sent you, you have 131,072 Kbytes for the log file. I recorded simulated data at twice a second for 2 minutes and 9 seconds to get an 8 Kbyte log. I'm estimating that an hour log will be 30 times this log or 240 Kbytes in size. If you divide the Maximum log size (131,072 Kbytes) by 240 Kbytes per hour you get 546 hours which should easily do a day. Be sure to save the log before powering off. Save often as the WHOLE log file gets re-written every time you save. After you power the display, switch the thumb drives so you don't overwrite the previous day's data with a new data file.
Thanks,
Phil Cebuhar

Dear Phil Cebuhar

Thank you for your prompt reply.

We got an new inquiry.
Our customer is wanting to know how to display a list of the engine data which a certain engine controller can output by PV450.
I know you are busy, but please let me know kindly.
