BRX Do-More PLC Data Logging

Data logging does not have to be complicated anymore. The BRX Do-More Series PLC can log your specific data up to 32 Gigabits on a Micro SD Card. It will store your data for future data analysis in a CSV (Comma Separated Value) Txt file based on time and/or event. This is all accomplished with just one instruction in the BRX Do-More PLC. Excel is just one program that you can import and analyze this CSV Txt file. Do-More Designer has a Browse PLC File Systems window that will allow you to copy, create and delete the files from the connected computer. This will save you from going to each controller, removing and copying the files on the Micro SD Card. We will be looking at the data logging instruction in the BRX Do-More Series PLC and how to retrieve and view this information. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-data-logging Previously in this BRX Do-More Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/wSYgY09VYeA Unboxing Video https://youtu.be/-Tf8m3BqzPo Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/iFI1ebP8Zkk Establishing Communication https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/shU5g8MA8VM Updating Firmware Video https://youtu.be/gsfcGGK4-Sk Numbering Systems and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-numbering-systems-and-addressing Numbering Systems and Addressing Video https://youtu.be/-GiKnIDycKY First Program https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-first-program First Program Video https://youtu.be/ANSNhdlm_Ao Monitoring and Testing the Program https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-monitoring-and-testing-the-program Monitoring and Testing the Program Video https://youtu.be/gv3d0vozxac Online Editing and Debug Mode https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-online-editing-and-debug-mode Online Editing and Debug Mode Video https://youtu.be/77pemu3zXrE Timers https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-timers Timers Video https://youtu.be/0qU9kgunPi4 Counters https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-counters Counters Video https://youtu.be/k84VQy8ifgg High-Speed IO https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-high-speed-io High-Speed IO Video https://youtu.be/6B5hp_Ri0Ls BRX PLC Compare Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-compare-instructions Compare Instructions Video https://youtu.be/CIDVcM0zszE BRX PLC Math Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-math-instructions Math Instructions Video https://youtu.be/ZllosAv0DyY Program Control https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-program-control Program Control Video https://youtu.be/1fewvxxUyW4 Shifting Instructions https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-shifting-instructions Shifting Instructions Video https://youtu.be/FVTxIl8VKmg Drum Instruction https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-drum-instruction Drum Instruction Video https://youtu.be/ILokPN1Aadk Serial Communication – Modbus RTU to Solo Process Temperature Controller https://accautomation.ca/brx-plc-serial-communication-modbus-rtu-to-solo-process-temperature-controller Serial Communication Video https://youtu.be/PndrIfBImGQ There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Series Controller. Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Built-in Data Logging - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) - Built-in Analog input and output - Integrated motion control - High-speed counters - Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules - Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer) - Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has an ethernet port. No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME) 10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E) 18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E) 36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E) These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. http://www.accautomation.ca
