Data Link, CC-Link PLCs to KepServerEx

Unlocking Trapped Data for Smarter Business Decisions, Safely and Securely.

The Challenge: Valuable Data is Locked In

Our systems generate critical operational data across numerous machines. However, due to network limitations, we can only access a fraction of this information directly, leaving valuable insights trapped.

The Solution: A Non-Invasive Data Flow

We will implement a 'Smart Data Bridge' that uses the existing LAN-connected PLC as a central point to gather data. This process is about observation and data transfer, not modifying any core machine controls.

→
Data Bridge PLC (Machine 1 with LAN) houses the "Bulletin Board"
→
📊 MSSQL Database Data is stored for reports and analysis
→
KepServerEx Reads the "Bulletin Board" via LAN

Our Guiding Principles: Safety & Reversibility

đŸ›Ąī¸

No Program Modification

The core logic that controls your machines remains 100% untouched. We are not changing the "engine," only observing its dashboard.

â†Šī¸

Fully Reversible

This data bridge is an accessory. It can be disconnected at any time, returning the system to its exact previous state with no lasting impact.

đŸ‘ī¸

Observation, Not Control

Our solution only reads existing data. It has no capability to send commands or influence the operation of any machine.

The Result: Complete Operational Visibility

By unlocking all data sources, we move from a partial, fragmented view to a complete, holistic understanding of our operations, enabling data-driven optimization and reporting.
