DataWorx Ethernet Data Logging Software
DataWorx connects Ethernet-enabled devices for easy data collection
AutomationDirect has teamed up with BizWareDirect to offer its
customers data collection and monitoring software for AutomationDirect PACs, PLCs and WinPLCs. Before DataWorx, it was necessary to purchase
an OPC/ DDE server, write code or buy a Human Machine Interface (HMI) package to program, in order to collect data
from our PACs/PLCs/WinPLCs. Now, the DataWorx data logger software makes it simple and cost effective to easily collect
valuable process control data to enable you to make better business decisions.
The DataWorx data logger software package easily connects your Ethernet-enabled Productivity3000 programmable automation controllers (PACs),
DirectLOGIC programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or WinPLCs, to standalone PCs or network servers for simple data logging.
Select either the DataWorx PLC Data Logger, the DataWorx WinPLC Data Logger, or the DataWorx Productivity3000 Data logger software based upon the device
from which you are collecting data.
The DataWorx P3K Server's primary function is to listen to devices and either record the data into a database or read from a database.
DataWorx enables each device to directly perform database operations. Connect with any Microsoft Access, SQL or ODBC compatible server.

DataWorx Server
- The DataWorx data logging software packages include a Server application that runs as a Microsoft Windows “service”.
Running as a service means the DataWorx program runs regardless if anyone is presently logged-in on the PC or
not.
- Another advantage of the Server running as a service is that the user does not need to manually start the
logging every time the computer restarts. The application “listens” for information from the PAC/PLC/WinPLC and
logs the data into a file configured from the Monitoring application.
- The Server is capable of collecting an unlimited amount of data from an unlimited number of PACs/PLCs/WinPLCs.

DataWorx Monitor
- The Monitor application included in the DataWorx package configures the Server’s file creation cycle, and
PAC/PLC/WinPLC listings. The Monitor also allows you to view or save the data files stored on the Server.
- Data files can be opened and viewed in Notepad, Excel, or another chosen program. You may choose to create files on a
daily, monthly, or yearly basis. You can view the various reports that are stored on the server for each PLC/
WinPLC.
- The Monitor application is able to conveniently run from any PC that is networked with the Server.
