  • DataWorx Software: Connect Ethernet-enabled PLCs for easy data collection
    [more info.] [specs PDF] [purchase]
    DataWorxAutomationDirect has teamed up with BizWareDirect to offer its customers DataWorx data collection software for AutomationDirect PLCs and WinPLCs. Before DataWorx, it was necessary to purchase an OPC DDE server, and write code or buy a Human Machine Interface (HMI) package to program, in order to collect data from our PLCs/ WinPLCs. The DataWorx data logger software package easily connects your Ethernet-enabled DirectLOGIC programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or WinPLCs, to standalone PCs or network servers for simple data logging. Now, DataWorx PLC makes it simple and cost effective to easily collect valuable data to enable you to make better business decisions.
