General Information 1

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The PAT data logger has been designed to provide the essential information and knowledge of
how the crane used and operated.

WARNING: The data logger is an operational aid that can provide LMI system configurations
and operating data.

The data logger can be setup to record the following data:

• Acquisition of the extreme values during a lifting event (DOS-Drive CAN)
• Acquisition of messages
• Acquisition of utilization counters
• Direct reading of a memory card with a PC (DOS-Drive CAN)

IFLEX CU : 021 020 06 0003

DOS-DRIVE CAN with memory card 16/32 MByte (not used for overload recorder)
PC with PCMCIA slot for parameterization via terminal and data management

2.2 SOFTWARE

LMI program version CGMK 1.42up (C-Structure)

C-Structure: PC program DS350C for parameterization of the data and load chart files
PC program iTOOL5 / iFLASH V4.95 for parameterization, download (overload recorder)
