I. Product Overview

51196483-100 is the core data storage unit of the HM (History Module) in the TDC 3000 system. It adopts Bernoulli flexible disk technology and is specifically designed for high reliability, large capacity, and long-term industrial process data storage. It serves as the core storage medium for system historical trends, event records, operation logs, and process reports, ensuring the safe storage and rapid retrieval of decades of production data. It is a key hardware for continuous production, compliance traceability, and performance analysis.

III. Core Functions and Advantages

1. Industrial-grade high-reliability data storage

Bernoulli technology: Flexible disk + non-contact magnetic head, no mechanical collision, no magnetic head wear

Removable platter: Offline data backup,异地 archive， unlimited expansion

Redundant architecture： Dual drive redundancy configuration， single disk failure does not interrupt storage

Error checking： Hardware ECC error checking， 100% data integrity

Power-off protection： Automatic return to position upon power loss， no data loss， no disk damage

2. Large-capacity historical data management

440MB single disk： Can store 10，000+ process points of the entire factory for 1 year of historical data

High-speed read/write： 2MB/s bandwidth， second-level response for historical queries

Circular storage： Automatically overwrite old data， no need for manual intervention Hierarchical storage: Hot data (online) + Cold data (offline) - hierarchical management

Data security: Disc write protection to prevent accidental deletion and modification

3. Seamless system integration

Plug-and-play: Automatically identify and mount when inserted into HM chassis

Hot-swappable: Replace discs/drives online without affecting system operation

Redundant switching: Dual drives automatically synchronize, faultless switching within < 10ms

Status monitoring: Real-time LED display + system alerts, early warning of faults
