PLC Communications

• Fully compatible: Requires no modifications to existing network configuration, PLC wiring or programs.
• Remote data table access: Monitor or alter any data table location on demand via Alarmware 2.0 software, front panel or telephone.
• System security: Access protected by security codes.
• Alarm monitoring: Continuously monitors 56, 96 or 256 registers.
• I/O export: Able to continuously transfer internal I/O and alarm data to PLCs.
• Supported protocols: Modbus RTU Master, Modbus TCP and Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP. Contact factory for others.
• Latency: Depends on configuration and other network traffic. Typical range of 1–10 seconds.
• Memory: Up to 5 MB of memory for user speech and data log file.
• Channel grouping: May assign channels to different destination groups for responsible personnel targeted calling.
• Configuring: Programmed via front panel, remote telephone or Alarmware 2.0 software.

Data Logging
