全面的数据管理，连接

数据站加上同时转换众多协议，允许不同的设备之间的无缝通信，并且可以在Microsoft Excel和访问等程序中容易地查看的CSV文件中保存收集的数据。“The Data Station Plus’ comprehensive, yet easy-to-use set of data management tools makes it idea for factories and machine builders wanting to interconnect and monitor dissimilar devices such as PLCs, drives, barcode scanners, vision systems and modems,” says Jesse Benefiel, product manager at the vendor. “The DSP’s virtual HMI interface provides remote access and control of the system using a standard Internet browser from virtually any PC. Further, alarms and notifications can be sent via text-message or e-mail to warn of pending problems or required maintenance.” A removable CompactFlash memory card stores logged data into “IT-ready” CSV files.
