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 all Windows 32/64 bit (windows (any)).

"PLC-data logging/triggering" offers you:

• Free evaluation without registration
• Simple and fast logging
• Industrial reliability
• Qualified support
• Comprehensive documentation
• Create snapshots of SIMATIC S7 process data
• Saving production data
• Data-logging without PLC-program
• Data-logging controlled by the PLC
• Cycle-accurate recording for system-failure analysis
• Archive production data
• Save recipes

Connection:
The connection to the S7 is made via the S7-TCP/IP-protocol.
No programming is required in the PLC.
Supports all S7 data-types from Bool to DateTime and String etc.

Supported operating systems:

• Windows (any)

Hardware requirements:
Min. Pentium III 1.200 MHz, 1 GB RAM, ca. 40 MB for software and enough space for the logger files

Supported PLC types:

• S7-1500
• S7-1200
• S7-300/400
• Win AC RTX
• S7-200
• LOGO!
• S7-kompatible SPS (z. Bsp.: VIPA, Saia, Berthel)
• S5 über S5-LAN++
• S7-LAN

Features:

• 4 trigger types for logging
  from interval to value change, from edges to user-defined conditions
• Data from up to 256 SIMATIC S7 controllers
  can be monitored and logged at the same time
• Siemens controls like
  SIMATIC LOGO! / SIMATIC S7-200 / SIMATIC S7-300 / SIMATIC S7-400 / SIMATIC S7-1200 / SIMATIC S7-1500 / S7-compatible PLC (for e.g.: VIPA, Saia, Berthel) / S5 (over S5-LAN++) / S7-LAN
• Reading and logging of
  inputs, outputs, flags, data-blocks, timers and counters
• Execution of logging
  via the command-line, as a service or directly in the application
• Addressing "organized data" as
  variables in stacks and ring-buffers
• Reading device information such as
  Location, module identifier, module series, DB-sizes and system-time
• PDU-optimized access for
  high-performance acquisition of consistent data
• Abort detection for backup of
  constant connections through automatic reconnection
• Addressing of all data-areas with
  identifiers in the format of the SIEMENS and IEC-syntax
• Boolean values and numeric values of
  1 to 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit data length – also as ARRAY OF
• Signed and unsigned integer values above
  BYTE, WORD, DWORD, INT and DINT – also as ARRAY OF
• Single/double precision floating point values
  REAL and DOUBLE – also as ARRAY OF
• Date and time values about
  TIME, S5-TIME, DATE and DATE_AND_TIME
• Character and character-strings above
  CHAR to S7-STRING – also via BYTE with its own encoding
• Structured data
  with static and dynamic addressing

License
Single License	Installation on one workstation/PC
Subsequent License	Installation on an additional workstation/PC one subsequentlicense for each additional workstation/PC Requirement: 1x singlelicense
Site / Branch / Standort License	unlimited number of installations at one location (= one postal address) of a company

Support/Updates:
A license is purchased once for a specific installation or as a dongle and is valid indefinitely (= unlimited license lifetime). In addition, our top-level support from our developers as well as updates including new functions can be purchased for 12 months.

Shortly before the support expires, it is possible to extend it for at least another 12 months for 10% of the current list-price. Updates (= current demo-version) and new functions can only be obtained with valid support. Support requests can still be made, but depending on the scope, these will be dealt with later.
Up to one month before the end of active support, we will inform you about the possibility of extending support. A support renewal is possible at any time in the first year after the end of support for 10% + 20% for each started quarter (since the end of support) of the current list-price. After the first year, a new license must be purchased for the support renewal.

Differences between"PLC-data logging/triggering" and "PLC-data in Excel" (Find the right product for your requirements):

Features	PLC-data logging/triggering	PLC-data in Excel
What happens in the event of a trigger event	Defined values are appended in a given file with a time stamp one file for several trigger events (infinite list)	The specified file is filled with values from the controller and saved as a new file one Excel file per trigger event
Filename	Specified by the configuration of the tool	Can be specified by the PLC, otherwise by the tool
Number of configured S7 connections	Depending on the license from 4 to 256	1 connection
Number of variables/connection	Depending on the license from 100 to 1000	Depending on the license from 100 to unlimited

Licensing under "License"
(mouse click on the key symbol)
Your machine-code for this PC with order by email
to verkauf@process-informatik.de
You will receive a license code to enter under
"License", so that the program is licensed on your
PC.
With a USB-dongle, there is no machine-code, the
