• Data acquisition through the automation network or through the programming unit interface of the PLC
• Acquisition of flag, counter, timer, input, output, data word, data block, etc.
• Signal display in double-word, word , byte and bit formats
• Creating of pseudo signals
• Additional addresses or trigger conditions addition while recording
• Simultaneous acquisition on several PLC systems (e. g. SIMATIC S5 + S7 or SIMATIC S7 + Allen-Bradley ...)
• Software solution, no additional hardware necessary
• Modification of PLC program not necessary
• Cycle precise acquisition for SIMATIC-PLCs
• Storage of the signal waveform on hard disk
• Signal of trigger-controlled file creation or long-term recording
• Time controlled signal recording
• Signal display online (similar to a line printer or an oscilloscope)
• Comfortable definition of triggers by Drag & Drop
• Substantial trigger features with AND-/OR logic and cascading
• Pretrigger and posttrigger time can be set by user
• Start- and Stopptrigger
• Trigger on binary values and register values
• Trigger event automatic alarm in case of problem happened (E-mail or sms, acoustic announcement)
• Comparing of signal files
• Search for edge, bit pattern, trigger, time and notices parallel in more than one signal file
• Measuring of periods of time and measuring of bits
• Relative and absolute data time
• Flexible register conversion and scaling to physical units
• Use of commentaries and symbolic address names of the PLC-programming software
• Project files for automating and pre-configuring data acquisition runs
• Print/Storage of complete project settings for documentation of test sequence and measurements
• S7-PLCSIM supporting
• Printing of signal files
• Signal files export as image format, text (csv-file) or HTML file
• Import of measured values in text format (csv-file)
• Multilingual
• AD_USB-Box : Recording of external voltage and current possible, connection via USB-port
• BLACKBOX: ultra compact Mini-PC for installation in switching cabinet, long-term recording of measured values over several years (optional)
