TrendWorX64 Logger

TrendWorX64 Logger is a server application that is available in Workbench. You configure the TrendWorX64 Logger using a set of configuration forms. The logger collects data from an OPC UA real time data source and sends that data to a SQL server database. The TrendWorX64 Logger reads and writes data to OPC data using the OPC UA protocol. It writes to the SQL server database using the OLE DB protocol.

TrendWorX64 Logger can be deployed using the same PC on which the database resides or on different PC that is networked to the database. TrendWorX64 Logger can be deployed on multiple PCs and data logging to the same (or different) databases, therefore providing a scalable and distributed data-logging architecture. A key feature ofis its ability to handle data logging and data retrieval with respect to multiple types of databases concurrently, therefore enabling you to develop a very cost-effective data-logging and data-retrieval application.

To Work with the TrendWorX64 Logger:

From the Workbench, expand your Project in the Tree Explorer, then expand the Historical Data node. You'll see the TrendWorX64 Logger node of the Tree Explorer.
