Remotely Monitor and Track Machine Status with Wireless Tower Lights
Using a TL70 Modular Tower Light with a wireless radio base improves machine monitoring and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by expanding available data beyond the local indication a standard tower light provides.
Beyond local indication, each TL70 can provide remote status of each light module, track the cumulative time ON for each light module, count the number of times each module transitions from the OFF to ON state, and count parts. This system provides the information necessary to react quickly to system changes and drive efficiency improvements based on data that was previously unavailable.
Features and Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Feature Machine Monitoring | Benefit Monitor machine inputs with up to four tower light modules (on up to 24 tower lights) and eight states (flashing or solid for each light module) |
| Feature Up Time | Benefit Track cumulative ON time for each light module for both flashing or solid independently |
| Feature Event Counters | Benefit Count the number of times each light module transitions from OFF to ON for both flashing or solid independently |
| Feature Part Counting | Benefit Count parts produced or rejected using internal 32-bit register in TL70 |
| Feature Remote Master Light | Benefit Use a master light to show combined status of all light modules |
| Feature Time Stamped Logging | Benefit Time stamped logging of light statuses, timers, counts, and part counts to a local SD memory card |
| Feature SMS Text/Email Alerts | Benefit Generate SMS text and/or email alerts based on specific events |
| Feature Efficiency Metrics | Benefit Produce efficiency metrics with provided data (average availability, production speed, production quality, etc.) |
| Feature Cloud Monitoring | Benefit Push data to Cloud webserver or PLC (via LAN or cellular connection) for remote viewing, alerting, and logging |
