Hi can anybody advise me on a data logging/monitoring system. My customer requires a data logging pc based system, they have 10 x machines of which they require to record the temperature and 3 x speeds of the machines.The temp can be by a pt100/tc the speeds i can aquire via a 0-10v signal from the drives.So far the systems quoted have been a lot of cash has anybody got any advise on a good reasonably priced system??

Some important questions to ask for a data logging system include:

1) How often are values to be logged? Time-based or value-change?
2) How long do the values need to be stored?
3) What format do you need the values stored in?
4) Reports??
5) How does the PC connect to the data? A PLC? Proprietary PC-boards?
6) Is the data "mission critical"? (I.e., does it require redundancy?)

That said, you might want to consider Inductive Automation's FactorySQL

These are cheap, you could stick one on each machine or use a few to monitor the 10 machines
