Formatter: Power Supply 24VDC ±10%, Memory 4GB flash storage

Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized industrial component within logging systems that converts raw machine data into standardized, structured formats for analysis, monitoring, and compliance reporting in manufacturing environments. It ensures data consistency across different machines and production lines.

Working Principle

The formatter operates by receiving raw data streams from sensors and machine controllers, applying predefined formatting rules and templates, converting data types, adding metadata tags, and outputting structured data in standardized formats (JSON, XML, CSV) with consistent timestamps, units, and identifiers.

Materials

Industrial-grade electronic components including: PCB with FR-4 substrate, aluminum alloy housing (6061-T6), stainless steel mounting brackets (304 grade), silicone-sealed connectors (IP67 rated), and high-temperature resistant wiring (up to 105°C)
