Features

Resolve Problems Quickly with the Machine Operation Recorder Function

The Machine Operation Recorder function records all equipment information before and after a shutdown.
This enables immediate identification of the cause of the problem, allowing for shortened recovery time and improved operational availability through fundamental countermeasures.

Recording : All equipment data from devices, cameras, and events are automatically recorded.
Playback : View linked playback of various data sources recorded from the moments before the problem occurred.
Analysis : Automatically analyse ladder programs and view tree diagrams of related devices.

Recording

Prevent Problems with Symptom Monitoring

Constantly monitor the cycle time, device operating times, and waveform data (temperature, pressure, torque, etc.) for each scan cycle. Alerts for equipment behaviour changes help prevent problems before they start.
