Extensive Device Support
- AB Logix: ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, and Micro800.
- AB Classic: MicroLogix, SLC 500, and PLC-5
Connect through Allen Bradley gateways using IP Address, backplane, slot number, channel number or DHRIO, and node address, or remote device configurations.
1-Click Access to Data
Streamline your tag creation process with One Click Allen Bradley, a powerful feature within our Allen Bradley data acquisition software suite. It automatically extracts all accessible variables directly from your controller, either online or offline, to accelerate system integration.
This feature is ideal for streamlining work with Allen Bradley ControlLogix software and other AB controller types
Reliability
Maintain system performance with Allen Bradley software designed for reliability. Adjustable timeout settings, automatic network recovery, and backup controller failover are all built-in to ensure consistent performance across Allen Bradley OPC server and gateway environments.
High-Speed Performance
Achieve lightning-fast communication with optimized packet handling. Process up to 1,000,000 tags per server with updates as fast as 15 milliseconds using our Allen Bradley PLC software for real-time control and tracking.
Data Accuracy
Data from each controller is processed on-premise using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. This ensures that all data received from the controller is preserved, not just the latest value. Maintaining complete data accuracy is critical for Allen Bradley data acquisition software and industrial applications.
Common Use Cases
Log Allen Bradley Data to Databases and CSV Files
Use the OAS Data Historian to log data from Allen Bradley controllers into various databases, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. Logging can be triggered by changes in the data, specific events, or continuously. The system also supports high-speed buffered data logging for accurate capture. Learn more
Transfer Allen Bradley Data
Transfer data between Allen-Bradley controllers and various Industry 4.0 data sources using the Data Route feature. Data transfer can occur continuously or be triggered by specific events. The platform also functions as an Allen Bradley gateway, enabling seamless transfer across local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the Internet environments. Learn more
Allen Bradley User Interface
Build intuitive Allen Bradley HMI software with drag-and-drop tools with the OAS UIEngine. You use WinForm HMI, WPF HMI, and Web HMI, as well as programmatic access through the .NET Data Connector and OAS REST API to integrate Allen Bradley data with your legacy applications.
