How did I get here ☺
Same as it ever was.
Meanwhile my 2nd Great Uncle Sea Captain Fred Jerome gained Freedom of New York City and an
elegant snuff box for saving lives in the wrecks of the Henry Clay and Ocean Monarch in 1848. He
settled in San Francisco around 1851 until 1900 and is interred @ SF Columbarium.

PLC embedded data memory.
Our patented technology connects into your PLC
controller network.
Our eDM fits alongside your SCADA and HMI
graphical user interface. We do NOT change your
PLC software code.
We record all digital, analogue, setpoints and
messages on a synchronized time base.
Our data repository enables our optimisation,
reporting and fault diagnostic software
applications. Our data storage capacity is > 10
years

Our eDM features a true hardwire
unidirectional firewall, which is now patented
to protect your PLC controller critical network.
Inside the eDM we have 2 ARM processors
linked by a transmit only hardwire link. Our
cellular communication is regular mobile grade
Our technology is routinely penetration tested
by our major UK water companies customers
and has always been found to maintain
security.

PLC programs are created by diverse band of software
coders. Our experience is that equipment owners and their
operators struggle to understand how specific programmed
sequences work especially years after the programmer has
departed..
Current HMI and SCADA visualization is limited to a small
subset of the hidden data available in the PLC network.

Our baseline reporting starts with alarm and warning message acquisition for baselining current system
behavior. Normal operator behavior is to acknowledge and clear alarms, losing valuable data history on
recurring faults.
Alarm and warning codes are our entry into the mind of the programmer by then providing ‘snips’ of the PLC
coding ladder logic chain.

Alarm and Warning messages on the HMI screen are a result of PLC programme sequences failing to execute,
for example tanks failing to reach intended fill levels, valves failing to reach intended position or similar events.
Our software applications record and present the PLC parameter sequence leading up to interruptions which
enable faster remote faulting finding and optimisation.

When faced with faults, operators are limited by lack of information. The temptation to reset and restart the
system leads to setpoint changes to overcome stalled control systems.
Our software records and alerts to setpoint changes, which if uncontrolled lead to ever increasing sequence
interruptions as you deviate further from the ‘blueprint’.

Presenting setpoint changes in chronological order allows your process scientists to understand actual custom
and practice. This information is normally lost without memory.
Embedding memory enables us to learn from recorded experience and train, explain and address recurring
faults with the team. Datumpin are your embedded data analysts.

A nice example of the hidden data value in your PLC is valve actuation tracking. We monitor and report on time
to reach intended position for our clients, and give early warnings on specific valves trending towards trouble.
This data is already there in your PLC if the actuators have limit switches.

datastack uniquely stacks
digital, messages, analogue and
accumulated calculations on a
synchronised time base.
A simple HTML format which
enables datumpin to add /
delete specific parameters AND
allow you to rewind the clock
on your system behaviour.
Comparing blueprint to fault
events enables systematic
diagnostics

To improve treatment plant process performance datumpin
were employed to provide base line data and performance
tracking. datumpin provided technical support with proposed
changes and datumpin’s engineers were able to predict what
impact any proposed process changes would make, resulting in
reduced waste and improved process performance.
