MacSema’s USB version of the Mega ButtonLink™
reads and writes to the largest capacity contact memory button on the market
today. MegaButton™ is currently available in 1, 2, 4,
8, 256, 512MB and 1GB capacity.
A MegaButton is a rugged data
storage device designed for use and survival in harsh operating environments.
Attached to equipment and related components MegaButtons offer extended data
storage capabilities, allowing complete maintenance manuals, technical manuals,
schematic diagrams, x-rays and pictures to be stored on the button along with
nameplate, configuration and maintenance data.
The ability to quickly view
critical information on-site saves both time and money for maintenance personnel
and asset managers. By eliminating the time and inconvenience associated with
locating a paper manual or accessing a central database, logistical support
functions such as configuration management, maintenance record keeping,
preventive maintenance procedures and asset tracking are enhanced throughout the
service life of the asset.
MegaButtons are built to the same
rugged standards of survivability as MacSema's ButtonMemory® and MiniButton™
devices. The technology has successfully completed tough environmental testing
using rigorous military standards, including: Temperature extremes, radiation,
electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI),
electromagnetic pulse (EMP), shock, vibration, solvents and saltwater.
MegaButtons are small in size only 1.1 inches in diameter by 0.2 inches high
and utilize battery free technology. Data is retained indefinitely.
Users read and write to
MegaButtons using MacSema's MegaButton Link, P/N RL350. This external device
connects directly to a USB port. SW Drivers included allow users to access and
update information on a button in seconds through a familiar Windows interface
in the same way as a diskette is accessed from a floppy drive. MegaButton
systems are designed to be Plug and Play compatible with off the shelf software,
allowing easy integration with industry standard hardware platforms and software
applications.
