4.6 Intended use
The portable measurement device is used to record measurement data read-out from one or more
modbus slaves. The device can operate without mains power. The measured and recorded data is
stored on a non-volatile memory medium. This stored data is sent to a central server for further proc-
essing via the mobile network. The device is equipped with an integrated SIM chip for this purpose.
16 Rev. 02

Chapter 4 General specifications
The maximum permissible limit values set out in chapter "Technical data" on page 11 must be
observed. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any operational cases that deviate from these
limit values and have not been approved by the manufacturer in writing.
Note: This device is exclusively intended to be used for the purposes as described above.
Any other use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be
deemed to be not for the intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written
consent of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that
may result from such unauthorised use or modification. The operator alone bears the asso-
ciated risk.
Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind if the device is damaged and
data is not able to be stored correctly.
Note: The integrated SIM chip provides a mobile communications connection to a variety of
international service providers. In order to be able to utilise all functions of the device, you
must ensure that the device is located in the service area of one of these service providers.
You can find a list of all supported countries and associated service providers under www.m-
icrotronics.at/footprint. A Managed Service contract with Microtronics Engineering GmbH is
required for use of the mobile data transmission (see www.microtronics.at/managedservice).
This includes the provisioning of the mobile communications connection via the network of
the service provider included in the above-mentioned list.
4.7 General product information
The device is a compact, portable instrument for recording and transferring measurement data read-
out from one or several modbus slaves. 64 channels are provided for this purpose, whereby the
physical connection between the myDatalogEASYmbm and the modbus slaves is established via a
RS485 or RS232 interface (see "Modbus connection cable" on page 98). This connection can also
be used to write data back to the modbus slaves. 32 output registers are provided for this purpose.
The required output data can be specified via the input screen on myDataweb. Additionally, 4 uni-
versal inputs, that can be operated in various analogue or digital modes, and a connection for an
external temperature sensor are also available (see "Sensors" on page 98). 2 output channels are
also available. One of these directly switches the sensor supply. The other one is a galvanised iso-
lated switch contact. Both output channels can be configured independently so that they can each
be switched by the device itself prior to a measurement (to supply a sensor) or so that they can be
switched wirelessly from a central location. All of the input measurement data is temporarily saved
to an internal data memory along with the output statuses and output registers and are then wire-
lessly transferred to a central location at freely selected intervals. The configuration of the device
also occurs via this connection. The device is equipped with an integrated SIM chip. The device can
also be configured via the USB interface if the optional SIM/USB option is available.
4.8 Device labelling

myDatalogEASYmbm type plate
Note: This symbol indicates that the myDatalogEASYmbm is equipped with an integrated SIM chip.
Note: These operating instructions are part of the device and must be available for the user
at all times. The safety instructions included therein must be observed.
DANGER:
It is strictly prohibited to disable the safety equipment or modify its mode of operation.
4.9 Installation of replacement and wear parts
Please be advised that replacement and accessory parts that have not been supplied by the man-
ufacturer have also not been inspected or approved by it. Installing or using such products and sim-
ilar can constructively modify the specified properties of the device in a negative way. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages that arise from the use of non-original parts and
non-original accessory parts.
4.10 Storage of the product
Ensure that all of the relevant data has been transmitted to the myDataweb server before storing the
myDatalogEASYmbm . If necessary initiate the ALOHA transmission mode using the magnetic con-
tact (see "ALOHA transmission mode" on page 21) and then check again that all relevant data has
18 Rev. 02

Chapter 4 General specifications
been transmitted. If you are using an external charging voltage to charge the accu pack of the myDa-
talogEASYmbm , disconnect this from the device before removing the accu or battery pack. The
remaining cables and antenna can then be removed. Store the myDatalogEASYmbm and accu or bat-
tery pack in the compartments provided in the original packaging.
The configuration and most recently determined data are retained. However, the system clock will
not continue to work without an energy supply. This means that following recommissioning, the
time must be synchronised to ensure that measurement and log data timestamps are correct. This
occurs automatically either when the first connection is established with the myDataweb server or
when the myDatalogEASYmbm is connected to the PC. For this purpose, the optional SIM/USB
option and myDatanetDeviceConfig configuration program are required.
4.11 Obligation of the operator
