PLC-ANALYZER pro 5 is a software system for logic analysis and acquisition of recorded data on PLC-controlled facilities. Acquisition, representation, and evaluation of PLC signals such as inputs, outputs, flags, data words, etc. is now very easy. Online display makes possible observation of the signal waveform in real time. In addition to long-term recording, trigger conditions can be specified for the acquisition of particular events.
This allows rarely occurring sporadic errors to be recorded for later analysis. In contrast to traditional logic analyzers, the PLC-ANALYZER pro 5 has the decisive advantage of recording process data through standardized PLC interfaces. The program e. g. supports MPI/PPI, PROFIBUS and TCP/IP Ethernet for SIMATIC S7 or the programming unit interface for SIMATIC S5. A computer that is connected for the purpose of programming the PLC can be used for recording process data without hardware modifications.
The tiresome process of hooking up monitoring cables is now a thing of the past. Here is a list of all currently available PLC-drivers for PLC-ANALYZER pro 5.
Signals can also be recorded from different PLCs at the same time. Cycle-precise recording is attractive because of the complete acquisition of measured values in each PLC cycle. By using the measurement interface AD_USB-Box® external voltage and current signals, which are not available in the PLC, can also be recorded.
Project files make it possible to automate frequently recurring acquisition sessions for various facilities.
For a direct integration in the facility AUTEM offers the BLACKBOX ultra-compact Mini-PC for long-term PLC process data recording. Thanks to the numerous remote connection possibilities (modem, VPN, LAN), the BLACKBOX is excellently suitable for facility remote service.
PLC-ANALYZER pro 5 is an indispensable tool for PLC software development, construction, installation, maintenance and training. AUTEM offers an inexpensive licensing model with primary and additional licenses for one or more workstations.
