Logger Collects Data Reliably from Remote Sites

MatrikonOPC has introduced its Industrial Data Logger, an intelligent automation data gateway that provides third-party connectivity, onboard data collection and intelligent data forwarding in a single box. When used for capturing data at remote locations and forwarding it, the Matrikon Data Logger connects securely to a centralized historian and transfers data to it, even at low bandwidth or with unreliable network conditions, according to the company. Key benefits include selective, event-based data collection from its flexible onboard data capture functionality; low bandwidth requirements through use of data compression; data integrity and confidentiality enforced via data encryption; and reliable data delivery based on intelligent, loss-free historical data transfer functionality.
