DataLynx PLC - Serial Modem Data Collection Software

DataLynx data collection software is an inexpensive data logging and storage package for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using a PC. Any PLC or other device that supports MODBUS, along with a modem connection, works well with DataLynx. This software package is an ideal solution for collecting data from remote locations or relaying data from multiple locations back to a single location to be stored.

DataLynx polls remote MODBUS-enabled devices over standard phone lines using off-the-shelf modems. The DataLynx Server runs as a service and collects and stores your data into comma or tab-delimited file formats. DataLynx can also be configured to automatically archive data files into a .zip file every month or year and delete the files as well.

How do I use it?

DataLynx is an easy software package to install and use. No additional programming by the user is necessary. Simply install the DataLynx software on a PC or file server and configure the remote MODBUS-enabled device phone number and memory address.

Applications:

Log important data from remote processes using a standard phone line where Ethernet connections are unavailable.
Monitor process data in other states and cities for trending history.
Collect process history from machines in multiple locations for preventive maintenance and historical usage.
