Software Toolbox OPC Data Logger is a process historian that uses OPC to capture, collect, and archive data.
Continuous Logging Support: When you need to continuously gather and log data, the OPC Data Logger provides you with a number of ways in which you can specify just how to collect it. You can “subscribe” to data points allowing you to simply log their values when their values change, or you can setup timers which cause a fresh-reading to take place allowing those fresh readings to be logged.
Trigger Based Logging Support: Get data when you need data. One of the key things that makes the OPC Data Logger special is its use of Triggers to start and stop logging. Unlike a Historian where you are logging lots of data all the time, the OPC Data Logger can start and stop logging based on times and conditions. This makes it a great tool for other data collection needs like; sampling, end of shift or end of batch runs, start logging when an alarm goes high then stop logging when it is back in conditions.
Start Logging straight away: The OPC Data Logger is packed full of Wizards that make configuration extremely easy. Its ability to browse and choose multiple OPC items makes configuration fast. Its use of standard text and data base files along with a proven OPC Client makes it open to use in almost any situation or location.
Log without Limits: No item limits with any license and connect to as many OPC Servers as you like. No limits on the number of connections to the same type of data base or file.
The OPC Data Logger is one of the few OPC Client products that has passed the OPC Foundation's Independent Certification testing process to ensure that it follows all the best practices for OPC clients as outlined by the OPC Foundation. This is the highest level of Compliance Certification offered by the OPC Foundation.
