The Analog Recorder System, developed by Brigger & Associates, is software that logs the values of PLC analog points so they can be displayed graphically at a later time.
Analog Recorder has the following features:
◼ The analog points to be logged can be from multiple PLC's.
◼ The analog points are logged every 10 seconds.
◼ The logged values are stored for an operator specified number of days.
◼ Up to 6 points can be plotted at the same time, each in a separate color and a separate scale.
◼ The time scale for a plot is operator selectable: 30 minutes or 1, 4, 8, or 24 hours
◼ The logged values can be exported to a text file.

The Analog Recorder communicates with PLC’s using a “driver”. This is software which must be purchased separately. The driver for Allen-Bradley PLC’s s is RSLinx Classic OEM. For other PLC’s it is Kepware’s KEPServer. The cost of these are as follows:
◼ RSLinx Classic OEM... $1,933.
◼ KEPServer... $644 per year for a subscription and $1,652 for a perpetual license.
Note that these prices may change. Also, the above prices do not include any required taxes.
We will assist in purchasing and downloading the driver software at no additional cost.
RSLinx Classic OEM is purchased from the local Allen-Bradley distributor.
KEPServer is purchased online from PTC, Inc.(https://www.ptc.com).
Note that if you purchased a driver for our Event Recorder, that driver can also be used for the Event Recorder. It is not necessary to purchase an additional driver.
◼ The Analog Recorder is delivered on a USB flash drive with everything necessary to install the programs, including installation and user’s manuals.
◼ For an additional cost, we can provide and install a complete system or provide assistance with the installation and configuration. (Phone assistance is free.)
