Abstract
A device that provides for the non-invasive data monitoring of analog IO of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. The output is ultimately displayed on an interface in real-time and is measured directly from the IO channel. This type of device allows the accurate reading and analysis of errors and erroneous data within a device and transmission of said data to disparate secondary devices for use.
Claims20
A system for displaying and monitoring practical data in controllers, comprising:
- a display interface;
- and
- an I/O card, in communication with said display interface.
A system for displaying and monitoring practical data in controllers, comprising:
- a monitoring device;
- a programmable logic controller, in communication with said monitoring device;
- a real-time and direct interface between in and out leads of data channels from multiple sensors in said programmable logic controller;
- wherein said monitoring device is in direct communication with said programmable logic controller;
- and
- wherein said monitoring device has a display, a central processing unit, a front side bus, a data storage means allowing data to be viewed by a user in digital data counts and engineering units of said data channels simultaneously and manipulated through the use of a single button press.
