ACCON-EasyLog consists of several modules, see the following table

For proper operation, a base module + input module (at least one arbitrary variant) + output module (at least one arbitrary variant) are required. In addition, it is possible to select additional expansion modules that are no longer mandatory.

For example, the basic set for ordering is a combination of:

Basic module
+
Input module for access to S7 and LOGO! 0BA7 devices.
+
Output module for recording to CSV file
=
ordering codes 130001WUX + 130031WXX + 130061WXX.

* The marked modules are the minimum necessary for the correct functionality of ACCON EasyLog.

Please, if you want to purchase individual modules to extend the functionality of a previously purchased ACCON EasyLog, please indicate the license number of the basic module you already have in your order.

The fast and simple data logger

ACCON-EasyLog continues easy operation known by his predecessor product ACCON-S7-EasyLog and also brings new possibilities in addition to a modern design. Thus ACCON-EasyLog is ideally suited to quickly and simply read and save data from the PLC. This is possible either time-controlled or event-driven.

Further you can use ACCON-EasyLog to connect your existing or new machines with an Arburg Management System (ALS) for visualizing and archiving the process data. Our long seller is constantly enhanced according to market requirements and is also available as a special customisation at a low price.

If you have a SQL server from Microsoft or a MySQL server in use, you can write your data directly into it. ACCON-EasyLog support this SQL server through the ODBC interface. You have the choice in which format you want to write your data.

To be able to quickly identify deviations offers ACCON-EasyLog a graphical representation of the data. Thus, you can quickly pinpoint trends and can respond immediately.

As multilingual software ACCON-EasyLog offers the user interface in German or English.

Perfect fields of application

ACCON-S7-EasyLog allows the (mandatory) archiving of process data for quality assurance and quality control.

Varied ranges of application

Recording and logging of a wide variety of data and formats, e.g. logging the machine down times for documentation or logging the operating history, e.g. recording the temperatures of a cold storage house or filling levels in silos or reservoirs.

Due to the graphical representation of the data you can quickly identify whether values drift.

Convincing and varied

The data are saved as a CSV file and can then be viewed and further processed e.g. with Excel. Alternatively, or in addition to CSV logging, the data can be written to a SQL database or sent via TCP/IP to the Arburg control system for archiving. The currently read process data are displayed directly in the software ACCON-EasyLog. All common communication channels to the S7-200, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1500, LOGO! 0BA7 and LOGO! 0BA8 are supported. Communication to SIGMATEK controls is possible via TCP/IP.

ACCON-EasyLog also supports the S7-1200/S7-1500 with optimized data access and is capable of importing symbols directly from the TIA Portal. Supported are the version 11,12 and 13.
