Signal Conditioning
KEY BENEFITS Load data reviewed wirelessly from
tablets anywhere in the harbour.
Accurate measurements under a wide range of temperatures made possible by Micro-Measurements’ strain gauges.
Robust system that functions
faultlessly under severe weather conditions.
No cabling required on cranes. Load
links are powered by batteries, which only need to be replaced in six-month intervals during routine maintenance.
High signal integrity allows transfer of load data even with obstructions.
THE SOLUTION
The system, designed, manufactured and assembled by LMS, picked up the signal from T24 transmission modules in load links and pushed it to the web as shown in the diagram above. This allowed for readings to be monitored
using any cellular enabled device by accessing a dedicated web address. Overload warnings were in place as well, which simplified monitoring. The JSON input, provided by
Mantracourt’s T24LOG100 web server, is an ideal way of monitoring device

readings in applications with lower levels of complexity. A link with visual interface is automatically
generated by the software. JSON packages containing the key information around a reading are also available to feed customised web interfaces. The web view can be made accessible
either from the same network only, or forwarded to the internet, as was the case with Load Monitoring Systems’ project.
THE RESULTS The T24 technology has successfully proved
itself in the face of the challenges offered by the application. The first of ASCO’s systems has now
been in service for over four years. The pilot project was, furthermore, replicated in an additional three locations of the company.
