April 16, 2009 – MAXSON Sheeters Have Remote Diagnosis

04.16.09The sheeter’s drives, logic controller and operator interface have thousands of self diagnostic annunciated faults that identify the specific location or cause of a problem. These faults can be viewed remotely either through a modem using the serial port provided or using the Ethernet port tied into the site’s local area network. In cases where an electrical program has been corrupted, the damaged algorithm can be replaced or modified from Maxson’s distant location using a downloading procedure.

Data accumulation from the sheeter’s operation can be realized by using a software interface that extracts the desired information on a real time basis. The records are amassed on an Excel® spread sheet for supervisory review or statistical quality control.
