Data
Logging - Free, Flexible and Easy
with SoftPLC Programmable Automation Controllers
Chart
recorders and stand-alone data loggers are
not only costly, they are an additional piece of equipment that
requires maintenance and cabinet space. SoftPLC controllers
provide a range of data
logging options that allow users to eliminate these components.
Multiple
data formats:
-
Log to .csv format for easy import into spreadsheet
programs
-
Log to compressed binary format for high volume or
high speed needs (we provide a utility to convert binary to text for analysis on another computer)
-
Binary format also provides secure data for
regulated industries that must meed governmental requirements (eg: FDA or EPA)
Multiple
data files:
Multiple
storage media:
-
Log to any fixed disk - SoftPLC's internal flash or
a networked drive
-
Log to removable media, such as a USB flash drive
Multiple
data transfer options:
-
SoftPLC, through ladder logic or an HMI command, can
send the file to any drive
-
Send the file as an attachment to an email sent by
the SoftPLC PAC
-
Access the file via FTP/SSH over Ethernet
(including remotely via modem, wireless, or the Internet)
It's simple to define which points are to be
logged, then use ladder logic to determine when data is logged - by
time, event, etc. You don't have to
buy separate data logging equipment - a SoftPLC can do the control and
the logging!
