Log/archive production data in CSV file/XML file

With "PLC-data logging/triggering" process and production data of any number of SIMATIC S7 can be quickly and easily recorded and logged. The S7 models S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300 / 400, LOGO !, WIN AC RTX and S5 are supported via S5-LAN ++.
With minimal configuration effort directly for logging.
Using the trigger, the logging can be controlled depending on the time or by events in the PLC. The process data is structured, recorded as a stack or as a ring buffer and saved as CSV or XML. The target directory and the file name can be created dynamically with date and time stamps. The application can run as a service.
The program can be run on Windows 32/64 bit (XP, Win7, Win8, Win10 and any Windows server version).
