Integration with PLCs

EasyBodge Data Logging Solution is a unique Data Logging solution that inherently integrates with industrial PLCs with the likes of Siemens S7 and Rockwell RSLogic. It uses an abstraction layer to connect with sensor’s data. All sensors and instrumentation could still be wired to the PLCs. Easybodge data logging solution work in completely decoupled manner and has no bearing on the existing automation system. The integration is available as fully software or fully hardware solution.

Software and Hardware Integration Option

For a fully software solution, we create another Function Block within PLC code to generate TCP/IP telegram or Modbus data. PLC code does not receive anything but simply broadcast sensor data for Easybodge Data Logging System to listen. Connection is one to one between the two IP nodes.

For a fully hardware or semi hardware solution, we offer a suitable gateway to interface between PLC and Easybodge Data Logging System.

In both cases, Easybodge Data Logging System is integrated by simply wiring a patch lead to existing ethernet hub in the control cabinet.
