This series will walk you through the steps to create and implement a robust PLC data logger using the following equipment and hardware.

•Automation Direct – Do-More – H2-DM1E PLC (Ethernet Modbus TCP)
•Do-more Designer 1.3 (Simulator instead of PLC mentioned above)
•Windows based computer running IIS
•Visual Basic 6

The tutorial is free to use.

The software simulator will even simulate the Modbus TCP protocol.

The robust logger will log the information in the PLC using indirect addressing. If communication is lost, the information will still be there until the computer retrieves it and places in the database.

What is your opinion on doing some videos for this data logging software?
Possibly put some up on YouTube showing each step.

Thanks,
Garry
