BLACK-BOX (see below) with PLC-ANALYZER pro and Continuous Recording allows you to consider your installation as if it were an Airbus aircraft, in which a BLACK-BOX is always installed to see what caused the failure, whatever it may be
Acquiring, displaying, and evaluating PLC signals such as inputs, outputs, memory registers, timers, counters, and data blocks with the PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 is now very easy.
Online visualization allows you to observe the signals in real time in a graphical format.
In addition to recording, activation triggers can be specified to capture particular events. This allows sporadic errors that occur rarely to be recorded for later analysis.
PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 has the advantage of recording process data via standardized PLC interfaces.
For example, for SIMATIC S7, signals can be recorded using MPI/PPI, PROFIBUS, or TCP/IP PROFINET.
All CoDeSys communication paths and many other PLC connections from various manufacturers are supported.
By using high-performance PLC drivers, the PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 achieves high sampling rates, which would not be possible with an OPC-based solution
PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 is an indispensable tool for software development, debugging, installation, maintenance, and training. It is easy to use and intuitive, and provides valuable support.
The arduous process of connecting signal cables to be monitored is now a thing of the past with smart, high-speed networks.
The accurate cycle recording is attractive due to the complete acquisition of the measured values in each PLC cycle.
It is possible to capture PLC signals synchronously with a video camera (Videotrack module).
External signals can be captured using the AD_USB-Box® Input/Output interface. This is a valid option when the signals are not available to be recorded from the PLC or when a specific PLC driver is unavailable.
PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 makes signal selection easier by supporting symbolic address names and comments from PLC programming software such as STEP7 or TIA-Portal.
Recurring measurement sequences can be automatically saved using "projects."
For direct integration of the PLC-ANALYZER pro 6 into the system, AUTEM offers the ultra-compact BLACKBOX 3. This industrial mini PC enables the archiving of autonomous process data for extended periods. Thanks to its numerous local LAN and remote 3G/4G WAN connectivity options, the BLACKBOX 3 is ideal as a data logging device (such as those used in aircraft) and for remote machine servicing. AUTEM offers an economical licensing model with primary and additional licenses for one or more workstations.
