Most Plants today would like the option of collecting data of a machine on a process to improve its productivity. History always teaches you what not to do and how to succeed in improving performance.
EZ Series HMI Touchpanels provide this capability in a very simple EZ Format. You do not even need to have an Ethernet option on the HMI. All you have to do is to connect the RS232 port on the Touchpanel to your PC. EZ Daq Software costing only $99 when installed on your PC can select any tag you want to monitor on the PLC / Panel, watch the data coming in real time (as compared to receiving only a snap-shot of the available when certain event occurs) and plot it into an X-cel sheet automatically. Time intervals on event triggers can be selected from a wide range of option.
You can of course use the built-in Ethernet port in the EZ CE Touchpanel ( in place of the RS232 port) to configure the EZDaq events for your system. You can also collect and store the data selected with the EZDaq configurator, right on the EZ CE Touchpanel.
EZ DAQ eliminates the need to buy expensive data collection softwares costing hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
For multiple panels or if you wish to collect data over Ethernet, EZ DAQ will service that as well. |

As described earlier, data collection and data view is live, real-time. Secondly when you click on Excel on the Data-Window, a preformatted X-cel automatically appears along with the graph of the PLC tag.
(Note : We will shortly be introducing another software feature for the analysis of the graph as well, but for now you get the PLC tag graphs for just $99)
Maintenance department and/or Quality Control Department and/or Management could easily view the real time graphs and data on their PC's or even on the EZ Marquee. |
