OPC Data Logger Targets Automation Industry

Industrial automation software supplier Software Toolbox has released a new version of OPC Data Logger, which includes support for OPC UA connectivity. The addition of the most recent OPC specification - OPC UA - expands the options for OPC Data Logger connectivity, enabling it to connect securely to OPC data sources with the latest standards. OPC Data Logger, which passed the OPC Foundation's independent lab certification test, is said to provide a high-quality value option for the data-logging needs of the automation industry.

Win Worrall, brand manager for OPC Data Logger at Software Toolbox, said: 'With the release of this new version of OPC Data Logger, customers can securely log data from any OPC UA server that supports the DA profile as well as from a customer's current OPC DA servers. 'This combination of support ensures the long-term usability of OPC Data Logger for users,' Worrall added. OPC Data Logger is designed by Software Toolbox for users, integrators and OEMs seeking to quickly implement data-logging of production data accessed from OPC DA and OPC UA (DA profile) servers.

This data can then be managed by open data storage applications such as Oracle, SQL, MySQL, Test Files/CSV and Excel. OPC Data Logger is designed for a range of applications where a full-featured historian is not required or practical for the application. Wizard-driven configuration dialogs make set-up and customisation quick and easy, according to Software Toolbox. The use of native drivers for connections to Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server ensures reliable performance when logging to these open, industry-standard databases.

Additional features include triggered start or stop of logging functions based on timers, events or other user-defined conditions. OPC Data Logger runs as a service for unattended operation and supports all current and previous Windows operating systems ranging from Windows 2000 to Server 2008 R2 (x86 and x64 versions).
