Designed and developed an expanded multi-device extension to the Monitoring System for Light Barriers at Rudolph Logic Systems GmbH (Hildesheim, Germany). The system scaled single-unit diagnostics into a centralized monitoring solution capable of observing multiple industrial photoelectric safety barrier arrays simultaneously to evaluate their long-term operational behavior.

The primary objective was to enable Quality Assurance (QA) teams to connect and monitor several light barrier units concurrently over extended testing periods prior to customer delivery. By collecting multi-unit diagnostic data, the system ensured strict compliance with legal safety regulations for electronic devices while streamlining batch testing workflows for production.

Key Multi-Device Monitoring Capabilities

• Concurrent multi-device monitoring across multiple light barrier test rigs
• Automated session logging and persistence for individual device monitoring runs
• Independent transmitter (Sender) and receiver (Empfänger) signal state inspection per device
• Configurable continuous loop and interval timing settings for batch reliability testing
• Centralized diagnostic error tracking and status reporting across connected barrier networks
• Real-time RS-232 serial communication interface management for multi-port setups
