Collecting Route Data; Select A Route - Allen-Bradley Dynamix 2500 User Manual

Collecting Route Data

This section explains how to collect list (route) data using the Dynamix 2500
data collector. Using your predictive maintenance software, you can load a list to
the data collector to organize your data collection, then collect data for the
measurement definitions in the list (route). Once you have prepared the
instrument for data collection you are ready to select a route and collect data
TIP

Select a Route

The Dynamix 2500 Data Collection program operates on a route. This can be
the Default Route or a route you create and unload with your computer software.
Routes that you create with your computer software may contain multiple points,
and each point may cause the instrument to perform multiple measurements.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1441-UM001B-EN-P - September 2012
If you do not use the predictive maintenance software to create and
load lists to the data collector, Dynamix 2500 data collector
automatically creates a route named Default Route for you to use to
collect data.
If the data collector does not have a route downloaded from the
Emonitor software, it lets you create a default route. The default
route contains only one measurement point.
