Abstract
A data recording apparatus is disclosed for recording production and product data output from at least one electronic device. A data collector device assigned to the electronic device records the production and product data and converts said data into transmission data to be transmitted, which are subsequently stored in a storage device. A configuration device connected between the data collector device and the storage device controls the storage of the transmission data.
Claims39
A data recording method for recording production and product data output from at least one intelligent electronic device, comprising the following steps:
- a) reception of the production and product data output from the intelligent electronic device by means of at least one data collector device assigned to the intelligent electronic device;
- b) processing of the received production and product data into transmission data to be transmitted by means of the data collector device;
- c) outputting of the transmission data from the data collector device;
- d) transmission of the transmission data output by the data collector device to a storage device by means of at least one data transmission device;
- and
- e) storage of the transmission data transmitted to the storage device in the storage device, wherein a storage of the transmission data transmitted by means of the data transmission device is controlled by means of a configuration device connected between the data collector device and the storage device, wherein, before the configuration device receives the transmission data, a first data transmission path of the data transmission device is produced between the data collector device and the configuration device and, after the transmission of the transmission data to the configuration device, the first data transmission path is disconnected, and, before the transmission data are communicated to the storage device, a second data transmission path of the data transmission device is produced between the configuration device and the storage device.
